Bad Friend is the second single on Gruff Rhys' album “Sadness Sets Me Free”. It is a song about how there are “good” friends and “bad” friends and that they’re still friends at the end of the day.
[Verse 1]
Though I can't promise you every hour of every day
I need to feed the kids and take them to the park to play
They say it's impossible to be everything for everyone
All I can say is that I'll have your back for your panic attacks
[Chorus]
And though I'm a bad friend
Yes, I've been a really bad slack friend
Just know I'm well-meaning
And that I'll be there at the end
Oh yes, I'm a bad friend
But maybe bad friends are still friends
Just know you're a good friend
And that I'll be there at the end
[Verse 2]
Though it's a struggle when you can't take everyone away
On a caravan holiday to the western edge of Wales
Just know it was raining and the beer was warm and the chips were wet
And you were missed a lot and we took selfies in your name
[Chorus]
And though I'm a bad friend
Yes, I'm a really bad slack friend
Just know I'm well-meaning
And that I'll be there at the end
Oh yes, I'm a bad friend
But maybe bad friends are still friends
And better than an enemy
And I will be there at the end
[Bridge]
All those good times that we shared upon the road
All those struggles disappear
All those troubles in the world in relief
Given friendship, never shiver
[Outro]
You know I'm as reliable as asking a seal to deliver the post
Or a random Pokémon to remember the number of your phone
And though I'm a bad friend
Yes, I'm a really, really bad friend
Just know I'm well-meaning
And I'm still here at the end
