Lyrics

Bad Things

[Verse 1]

Oh, shit, here we go again

It's the same old lie, same instrument, like

La-la-la, I'm broken, and I'm dead

(Doesn't ever really happen to me anyway)

If I'd known I'd be where I'm at today, I think I'd give it all away

I wish I'd never left my home

[Pre-Chorus]

But when I hear you say my name, tell me everything's okay

I forget about the world, I forget about the pain

'Cause when I see you wear my shirt, listen to your calming words

I remember that the rain doesn't hurt me when I say, ay, ay

[Chorus]

I love it, I love it, I love the fear, I love the way

You make the bad things run away, ay-ay, ay-ay

I love it, I love it, I love the tears, I love the pain

You make the bad things run away

(Ay-yay, ay-yay)

[Verse 2]

Shut the fuck up, I don't wanna hear your voice, no

Save your breath or you gon' give yourself a sore throat

I need a little bit of space, I wanna lay low

It's okay, I'll make it one day, oh

Guilty, I'm a counterfeit musician

I only say the things I say so you will listen

Some say it's the product of a vision I don’t fuck with

It's not my decision

[Pre-Chorus]

But when I hear you say my name, tell me everything's okay

I forget about the world, I forget about the pain

'Cause when I see you wear my shirt, listen to your calming words

I remember that the rain doesn't hurt me when I say, ay, ay

[Chorus]

I love it, I love it, I love the fear, I love the way

You make the bad things run away, ay-ay, ay-ay

I love it, I love it, I love the tears, I love the pain

You make the bad things run away

[Bridge]

I'm better off all by myself

No one to call, no one will help

No one at fault, no one can quell‎‎

No, I'm not well, no, I'm not well

Irrational, inadequate, unnatural, inanimate

I'll never change, I wanna quit

So full of rage, so full of shit

[Chorus]

I love it, I love it, I love the fear, I love the way

You make the bad things run away‎

I love it, I love it, I love the tears, I love the pain

You make the bad things run away‎

[Outro]

But when I hear you say my name, I know everything's okay

I forget about the world, I forget about the pain

When I'm struggling to breathe, and all I think are bad things

I remember that you're mine, I remember everything
