“When we wrote this song, we wanted to explore how confusing love can be at a young age when you don’t have the tools to communicate it. ‘Bad Friend’ is a melancholic look into the past and a kind of apology to the people we hurt.” -Fritz Hager
[Verse]
Headlights out on a one-way drive
Running from my own advice
Say to you, “darling don’t think twice”
We were dancing out on a frozen lake
Waiting for the ice to break
We just never knew that our love had weight
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried following the course
You needed me and I needed more
It was my fault that you’re cut off
Guess I read it wrong, what a waste of it all
[Chorus]
Didn’t know what I’d lose
Falling in love with you
You called me a bad friend
Was I a bad friend?
Seventeen in my room
I didn’t know the rules
Of being a good man
But was I a bad friend?
Was I a bad friend
[Verse]
Couldn’t see tears in the pouring rain
You were always washed away
I just want a muse and I was weak
Wish you could’ve known all the ways I’ve changed
You’re numbing me like Novocain
I don’t even have another shot to take
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried following the course
You needed me and I needed more
It was my fault that you’re cut off
Guess I read it wrong, what a waste of it all
[Chorus]
Didn’t know what I’d lose
Falling in love with you
You called me a bad friend
Was I a bad friend?
Seventeen in my room
I didn’t know the rules
Of being a good man
But was I a bad friend?
Was I a bad friend?
Was I a bad friend?
[Outro]
We were dancing out on a frozen lake
Waiting for the ice to break
You just never knew that our love had weight
