[Verse 1]
Why do so many men bad?
I keep asking myself that
I know there’s good men
But you made my heart go hard
Dad walked out the door
Left a hole in the house
Brother, you ignore me
Like I’m not even around
[Pre-Chorus]
And when I speak up
You call it too much
When I ask for truth
You turn it to dust
I learned the shape of pain
From the ones I loved
Now I guard my name
Like a cut in my glove
[Chorus]
Bad men, bad men
I got too many scars
Bad men, bad men
You left marks on my heart
I know there’s good men
Still, I flinch and I run
Bad men, bad men
You ruined trust for one
[Verse 2]
Manipulative words
Wrapped in a sweet tone
Say you want the real me
Then you leave me alone
If I raise my voice
You twist it back on me
Like I’m asking too much
For basic decency
[Pre-Chorus]
And when I speak up
You call it too loud
But I’m done shrinking down
Just to keep the peace now
I learned the shape of pain
From the ones I loved
So I’m healing slow
From the ones I trusted most
[Chorus]
Bad men, bad men
I got too many scars
Bad men, bad men
You left marks on my heart
I know there’s good men
Still, I flinch and I run
Bad men, bad men
You ruined trust for one
[Bridge]
Maybe one day
I won’t brace for the blow
Maybe one day
I’ll let somebody close
But tonight I’m honest
And tonight I say
You broke the map
Then walked away
[Final Chorus]
Bad men, bad men
I got too many scars
Bad men, bad men
You left marks on my heart
I know there’s good men
Still, I’m learning to run
From bad men, bad men
Till the right one comes
