The Bullet Lyrics by Derek Austin, Ashley Cooke

2021

[Verse 1: Derek Austin]
I really thought we were gonna make it
Girl, you're the best I ever had
We both know it's over, baby, let's face it
All the good times can't fix the bad
One of us probably gonna hurt more than the other
[Chorus: Derek Austin & Ashley Cooke]
So who's gonna be the broken
And who's gonna break the heart?
Who's gonna do the leavin'
And who's gonna wear the scar?
Someone's gotta feel it
And someone's gotta pull it
Who's gonna walk away
And who's gonna take the bullet?
[Verse 2: Ashley Cooke, Ashley Cooke & Derek Austin]
I wish we could skip past the sad part
I wish neither one of us had to take the blame
I don't wanna be the last one standin'
Living with the guilt and the damage
That's no reason to stay
When you're this far in, there's only one way out
[Chorus: Derek Austin & Ashley Cooke]
So who's gonna be the broken
And who's gonna break the heart?
Who's gonna do the leavin'
And who's gonna wear the scar?
Someone's gotta feel it
And someone's gotta pull it
Who's gonna walk away?
And who's gonna take the bullet?
Yeah, who's gonna take the bullet
Oh
[Post-Chorus: Derek Austin & Ashley Cooke]
Who's gonna say what has to be said?
Bury whatever love we got left
Who's gonna be the one that cares enough to get it over with?
[Chorus: Derek Austin, Ashley Cooke, Derek Austin & Ashley Cooke]
So who's gonna be the broken
And who's gonna break the heart?
Who's gonna do the leavin'
And who's gonna wear the scar?
Someone's gotta feel it
And someone's gotta pull it
If you wanna walk away
I guess I'll take the bullet
I guess I'll take the bullet
