“It Took the Both of Us” lyrics
It took the both of us
You say I never called you when I said I would
You say I stayed out late with the boys from the neighborhood
Well, darling, you ain't wrong but you ain't telling it all
Who threw my clothes in the yard in the middle of the fall
Who changed the Netflix password on a Tuesday night
Who told my mama I was drinking just to start a fight
(Female) You say I got a temper and I guess that's fair
But you left my ring in the cupholder of your truck out there
So don't paint me the villain in the story that you sell
You were holding the shovel when we dug this hell
(Male) Oh, you want to point a finger
(Female) Well, I got a finger too
(Both) Yeah, we both went down the road
And the road went through
It took the both of us
To wreck a love this good
We both lit the match
And we both brought the wood
Don't tell the town it's only me to blame
It took the both of us
To burn it down the same
(Male) My buddies say you're crazy
(Female) Well, my sisters say the same
(Male) Now we're both out here with lawyers
(Female) Trying to split a dog with a name
(Male) You took the good skillet
(Female) You took the TV stand
(Male) You kept the photo albums
(Female) Well, you kept the wedding band
(Male) I'd say I'm sorry, baby
(Female) Yeah, I'd say sorry too
(Male) Oh, you want to point a finger
(Female) Well, I got a finger too
(Both) Yeah, we both went down the road
And the road went through
It took the both of us
To wreck a love this good
We both lit the match
And we both brought the wood
(Male) You started it
(Female) No, you started it
(Both) Well, we finished it
(Male) You started it
(Female) No, you started it
(Both) Well, we finished it
It took the both of us
It took the both of us
To wreck a love this good
We both lit the match
And we both brought the wood
Don't tell the town it's only me to blame
It took the both of us
To burn it down the same
