Bad For Me
The house goes quiet after midnight
I end up standing in the kitchen again
I said tonight I’d leave you alone
But I never do
You sit there waiting where I left you
Like you know how this will go
I try to walk away sometimes
But I always turn around
You make it easy to forget things
That’s the part that pulls me in
Just one more minute near you
Then I swear I’ll quit
You’re gone before the morning
Like you were never there
But every night I find you again
Right where you always are
I know you're bad for me
Everybody can see
But every night
You're exactly where I wanna be
I say I'm done
I swear I'll leave
But every time I try
You pull on me
You change things the moment I touch you
Leave your mark on everything near
A quiet kind of damage
That disappears by morning
I watch you fade a little slower
Every time I stay too long
Still I stand here knowing
I’m the one doing this
There’s a box on the counter
I open it without thinking
A bowl
A spoon
Cold milk
Those little pieces of Cocoa Pebbles
Final Verse
You’re perfect for a minute
Then you start to fall apart
If I leave you sitting too long
You lose what made you sharp
I guess that’s kind of fitting
For the way this thing goes
Leave you alone too long
And you get soggy
Final Chorus
I know you're bad for me
Everybody can see
But every night
You're exactly where I wanna be
I say I'm done
I swear I'll leave
But every time I try
You pull on me
