Bad For Me

**Verse 1**
I keep your number like a loaded gun
Sitting heavy in my jeans
Say I’m done, then I call at one
Like I don’t know what that means

You taste like smoke and gasoline
Like something I should fear
But I lean in close to watch it burn
And say, “Just leave it here.”

**Pre-Chorus**
We don’t talk about the damage
We just laugh and pour another
You say, “We’re only temporary.”
I say, “Good. Don’t recover.”

**Chorus**
You’re bad for me, I love it
Every red flag feels like heaven
We don’t sleep, we just spiral
Past three, past four, past seven

We crash and call it chemistry
Bruised up beautifully
If this is how it ends again
Don’t try to rescue me

**Verse 2**
We fight in parking lots at night
Then kiss like we might die
You say I bring out your worst side
I say, “That’s why I’m alive.”

Every promise tastes like static
Every future’s just a dare
We’re building something tragic
But we don’t even care

**Pre-Chorus**
I know the script, I know the scene
You disappear, I come unclean
But I’d still press play again

**Chorus**
You’re bad for me, I need it
Like a vice I can’t release
Every time we try to quit
We just make it harder to breathe

We’re a beautiful addiction
With no intention of getting clean
If loving you’s a slow collapse
Then let it bury me

**Bridge (reckless, breathless)**
We don’t want forever
We want right now
We want slammed doors
And screaming too loud

We want broken glass
On bedroom floors
We want one more hit
Then one more

**Breakdown (raw, unhinged)**
I know you’re poison
But I like the taste
I know you’ll leave
But I like the chase

I’d rather feel this burn
Than nothing at all
So strike the match
And watch me fall

**Final Chorus (explosive)**
You’re bad for me, don’t fix it
Don’t soften what we are
We’re lightning in a bottle
We’re wreckage in a car

And when it all goes silent
When the high finally leaves
I’ll swear I’ve had enough of you
Then beg you back to me

**Outro**
We don’t call it self-destruction.
We call it love.
And that’s the problem.
