(Intro)
You don’t quit me…
You just take breaks.
(Verse 1)
You don’t call it what it is,
But tell your friends “it’s complicated.”
You wear it like it’s yours,
Like I don’t live under your skin.
You say you’re done for good now,
But always come back for more.
You almost believe it,
’Til you’re back at my door.
(Pre-Chorus)
Tell yourself you’re past it,
Say you cut me loose,
Yet you still keep my number…
Like you’re gonna need it.
(Chorus)
I’m a bad habit,
A bad bad habit,
I’m a bad habit,
a bad bad habit,
I’m your bad habit
You don’t come back to me,
You come back to how I ruin you,
They don’t do it like I did,
You just needed someone bad enough
(Verse 2)
Not a passenger in your mind,
I live there—no way to rewind.
All the things you used to enjoy,
Just turned to ash.
You picked up my style,
Now you don’t know what is yours.
You keep trying to mold them into me…
But it’s never good enough.
(Pre-Chorus)
Tell yourself you’re past it,
Say you cut me loose,
Yet you still keep my number…
Like you’re gonna need it.
(Chorus)
I’m a bad habit,
A bad bad habit,
I’m a bad habit,
a bad bad habit,
I’m your bad habit
You don’t come back to me,
You come back to how I ruin you,
They don’t do it like I did,
You just needed someone bad enough
(Bridge)
I took everything you had,
’Til you had nothing left.
Now you finally see me,
For what I am.
I’m the weight lingering over you,
NOW IM CRASHING IT OVER YOUR HEAD!
(Instrumental break)
(Final Chorus)
Call it just a habit,
Say you can quit…
Still come back to me
Like you’re built for it.
A bad habit,
A bad bad habit,
A bad habit,
Your bad bad habit,
You don’t come back to me…
You come back to how I ruin you.
They don’t do it like I did…
You just needed someone bad enough.
(Outro)
You want closure,
Still chasing me,
I let you have it, then cut you loose,
But now I have you hooked
You can’t quit me,
But I quit you.
