Bad Love

[Chorus]
You can't separate what you need and what you want
Bad love isn't better than none
You try to simulate it, and you're always holding on
But bad love isn't better than none

[Verse 1]
"So scared of being alone," she says, "when the beasts come out at night
And at times it gets so cold"
"It's so long that I've been on my own," she says, "it feels like my whole life
And sometimes it gets so old"
I tell her, "Try to have some patience, good things always seem to come
To the souls who takes it slow"
She tells me there's no point in waiting
She has control

[Chorus]
You can't separate what you need and what you want
Bad love isn't better than none
You try to simulate it, and you're always holding on
But bad love isn't better than none

[Verse 2]
I watch her as she tries to calculate and now she tries to imitate
The things she hears about
I offer her a helping hand, she chooses to stay on the ground
She won't stop 'till she figures out
What is fate?
Because she wants one but loneliness drives her to the wrong one
I say, "You'll see the winds are changing"
She doesn't see she's rearranging
She has control

[Chorus]
You can't separate what you need and what you want
Bad love isn't better than none
You try to simulate it, and you're always holding on
But bad love isn't better than none

[Bridge]
Banging down the doors of anyone who listens
Screaming out loud, "There must be more than this," and you
Never find the end to your lonely nights
'Til you fill them with the space made for Mister Right
You're so afraid of having nothing
And you really don't believe that good love is a-coming
All you see is doubt
Say you'd rather have a bad love than go without

[Chorus]
You can't separate what you need and what you want
Bad love isn't better than none
You try to simulate it, and you're always holding on
But bad love isn't better than none
You can't separate what you need and what you want
Bad love isn't better than none
You try to simulate it, and you're always holding on
But bad love isn't better than none
