The Official Music Video for "Don't Take the Bait" by Our County Line.

The Story: We wrote this anthem about the trap of a toxic cycle. Those arguments where neither side is able (or willing) to let go. You know you're part of the problem. You know they are too. "Don't Take the Bait" lives in that exact breaking point. The split second where you have to decide whether to drag this out for one more round, or to finally change the game?

Lyrics:

(Intro)
Yeah
Don't do it
You walked in loud, kicking the door
Looking for a reason to start a war

(Verse 1)
You're the ones digging up yesterday's dirt
Looking for a way just to make me hurt
It ain't the first time, but it might be the last
We're running out of future and drowning in the past

(Pre-Chorus)
I'm part of the problem
But damn it, you are too
Why's it always on me to make it all right for you?

(Chorus)
Don't take the bait
No, don't you trip that wire
Every single time we throw a match on our fire
We stand on different sides, supposed to have each other's back
But the blame and the shame ain't nothing but a trap
Baby, before it's too late
Don't take the bait
'Cause there ain't no coming back

(Bridge)
It's you
It's you
It's me
The last place I wanna be
I hate you
I love you
I break you
I'm broken
I'm trying, I'm failing
I can't do this no more

(Pre-Chorus)
I'm part of the problem
But damn it, you are too
Why's it always on me to make it all right for you?

(Chorus)
Don't take the bait
No, don't you trip that wire
Every single time we throw a match on our fire
We stand on different sides, supposed to have each other's back
But the blame and the shame ain't nothing but a trap
Baby, before it's too late
Don't take the bait
'Cause there ain't no coming back

(Outro)
Blinded by the anger
Hard to even breathe
Skin is tense and dry
Who was gonna break the silence?
Who's gonna take the lead?
Stop
Don't take the bait
