Last Word

by Jason Michael Carroll

on Numbers (2011)

I've been up all night, I watched the red sunrise
Thinkin' 'bout you and me and girl I think we need to sit and talk
We can't keep on like this, this ain't no way to live
I ain't pointin' fingers here, but I think it's clear it's both our faults
What we did last night was the kind of fight a kiss won't fix
We're a lot alike and I think sometimes that's where the trouble is

You always gotta have the last world, and so do I
We say hard-headed heart-breakin' things we don't mean, that make us cry
You're the match, I'm the gasoline, we're gonna mess around and burn down everything
If we don't get it back to the way things were
Baby, 'goodbye' is gonna be the last word

How did it get so bad, why do we get so mad?
Slammin' doors, dishes on the floor; what makes us act like that?
It's like we don't know when enough's enough
I say something, you say something and it all blows up

You always gotta have the last world, and so do I
We say hard-headed heart-breakin' things we don't mean, that make us cry
You're the match, I'm the gasoline, we're gonna mess around and burn down everything
If we don't get it back to the way things were
Baby, 'goodbye' is gonna be the last word

If I could shut my mouth, I could turn us around
Before it goes too far
If we could just agree to disagree, it wouldn't be so hard
But you gotta have the last word
You always gotta have the last word

You always gotta have the last world, and so do I
We say hard-headed heart-breakin' things we don't mean, that make us cry
You're the match, I'm the gasoline, we're gonna mess around and burn down everything
If we don't get it back to the way things were
Baby, 'goodbye' is gonna be the last word

You always gotta have the last world (and so do I)
We say hard-headed heart-breakin' things we don't mean, that make us cry
(You always gotta have the last world)
And so do I
And so do I
