Bad For Me

**Verse 1**

I keep your number like a loaded gun

Sitting heavy in my jeans

Say I’m done, then I call at one

Like I don’t know what that means

You taste like smoke and gasoline

Like something I should fear

But I lean in close to watch it burn

And say, “Just leave it here.”

**Pre-Chorus**

We don’t talk about the damage

We just laugh and pour another

You say, “We’re only temporary.”

I say, “Good. Don’t recover.”

**Chorus**

You’re bad for me, I love it

Every red flag feels like heaven

We don’t sleep, we just spiral

Past three, past four, past seven

We crash and call it chemistry

Bruised up beautifully

If this is how it ends again

Don’t try to rescue me

**Verse 2**

We fight in parking lots at night

Then kiss like we might die

You say I bring out your worst side

I say, “That’s why I’m alive.”

Every promise tastes like static

Every future’s just a dare

We’re building something tragic

But we don’t even care

**Pre-Chorus**

I know the script, I know the scene

You disappear, I come unclean

But I’d still press play again

**Chorus**

You’re bad for me, I need it

Like a vice I can’t release

Every time we try to quit

We just make it harder to breathe

We’re a beautiful addiction

With no intention of getting clean

If loving you’s a slow collapse

Then let it bury me

**Bridge (reckless, breathless)**

We don’t want forever

We want right now

We want slammed doors

And screaming too loud

We want broken glass

On bedroom floors

We want one more hit

Then one more

**Breakdown (raw, unhinged)**

I know you’re poison

But I like the taste

I know you’ll leave

But I like the chase

I’d rather feel this burn

Than nothing at all

So strike the match

And watch me fall

**Final Chorus (explosive)**

You’re bad for me, don’t fix it

Don’t soften what we are

We’re lightning in a bottle

We’re wreckage in a car

And when it all goes silent

When the high finally leaves

I’ll swear I’ve had enough of you

Then beg you back to me

**Outro**

We don’t call it self-destruction.

We call it love.

And that’s the problem.
