“Bad Habits” is the familiar story of a relationship you know isn’t good for you but you’re addicted to it. No matter how many red flags show, you let them back in. This song is realizing that this is happening and being strong enough to say how you really feel.
**EXPLICIT**
{Verse 1}
I've been losing myself for you
When did I get so helpless
I've pushed out every good friend I had
No one thinks your fun when you're sad
So I've been telling your secrets to anyone
That will sit and hear it
I told you that I'm better when I'm independent
But you just told me to forget it
(I'm a hot mess)
{Pre Chorus}
And if they say something against you
I don't know why but I know
I'd still be dumb enough to defend you
Look how you got in my head
{Chorus}
You still keep me up all night and all day
Even in my own house it's your space
Took the pictures off the wall
I can't even look at them
Not okay at all
Trying not show you got me fucked up
All night and all day
Nothing can distract me from your face
Took the pictures off the wall
I couldn't even look, boy
I'd kill for you to call
That would make it all better, baby
{Verse 2}
I could stay in my room with my heart ache
Yeah, you're a habit I can't break
Sick of always feeling bad
No one thinks you're fun when you're mad
So I've been telling your secrets to everyone
That will sit and hear it
I told you that I'm better when I'm by myself
But you wanted something else
(I'm a hot mess)
{Pre Chorus}
And if they say something against you
I don't know why but I know
I'd still be dumb enough to defend you
Look how you got in my head
{Chorus}
You still keep me up all night and all day
Even in my own house it's your space
Took the pictures off the wall
I can't even look at them
Not okay at all
Trying not show you got me fucked up
All night and all day
Nothing can distract me from your face
Took the pictures off the wall
I couldn't even look, boy
I'd kill for you to call
That would make it all better, baby
{Bridge}
If you try I could let my guard down
But you lie
I won't cry my heart out
If you tried, you tried
I could let my guard down
But you lied
How am I supposed to love you when you keep me up
{Chorus}
All night and all day
Even in my own house it's your space
Took the pictures off the wall
I can't even look at them
Not okay at all
Trying not show you got me fucked up
All night and all day
Nothing can distract me from your face
Took the pictures off the wall
I couldn't even look, boy
I'd kill for you to call
That would make it all better, baby
