Bad Opinions is about breaking apart a toxic relationship – no one is one hundred percent bad, so it’s rarely an easy decision, but sometimes it has to be done.
It is track ten off of Elyse Shackleton’s debut album, Car Conversations.
(Intro)
You always had bad opinions
Of people that pulled away from you
You always had good intentions
Until attention no longer had you in view
You always had bad opinions
Of people that called you out for what you were
You always had good intentions
Until the tension no longer was bearable
(Verse 1)
I know it’s hard to sit through
The stretching then tearing of bonds you thought would last, you thought you knew
I know it’s hard to sit still
But in our best interests I’m feigning disinterest
And leaving so we can heal
(Chorus 1)
You always had bad opinions
Of people that pulled away from you
You always had good intentions
Until attention no longer had you in view
You always had bad opinions
Of people that called you out for what you were
You always had good intentions
Until the tension no longer was bearable
(Verse 2)
You should know it’s hard on me too
In breaking a friendship, I’m breaking what’s precious
And hoping I made the right move
You should know I think about you
I pass by your house where I lost what I found
And remind myself why we’re through
(Chorus 2)
You always had bad opinions
Of people that pulled away from you
You always had good intentions
Until attention no longer had you in view
You always had bad opinions
Of people that called you out for what you were
You always had good intentions
Until the tension no longer was bearable
(Bridge)
So for the good of me and my own
I’m going to walk away and not come back
Because of you I’ve lost so much that I love
Including you, including us, including all of our past
[Instrumental]
(Chorus 3)
You always had good intentions
You went out of your way to make me smile
Nobody’s one hundred percent bad
But you still have to decide
You always had kindness in you
That I knew was there at the end of day
And those things don’t mean that I can stay
(Chorus 4)
You always had bad opinions
Of people that pulled away from you
You always had good intentions
Until attention no longer had you in view
You always had bad opinions
Of people that called you out for what you were
You always had good intentions
Until the tension no longer was bearable
(Outro)
You always had bad opinions
Good intentions
Bad opinions
You always had bad opinions
Good intentions
Bad opinions
You always had bad opinions
Of people that called you out for What you were
You always had good intentions
Until the tension no longer was bearable
