Bad for My Heart

Intro

(Ooh-ooh)

(Ah-ah, ah-ah)

You walk in—

And I forget what I was saying

Verse 1

You caught me looking, didn't look away

Just let that second hang a little too late

You said my name like you knew something

I hadn't even told myself yet

Now I'm pretending I don't notice

How you lean in when you talk

I had a whole night planned without you

Now I'm hoping that you don't go

Pre-Chorus

It's in the way you get too close

Then leave me wanting more

I swear I'm better on my own

So why am I at your door?

And I can feel it starting

Before you even touch me

One look and all my good intentions

Don't mean anything

Chorus 1

You're so bad for my heart

But I love the way you start

Every little thing in me

Falling apart, falling apart

I should leave before it goes too far

But I'm right here wherever you are

I know exactly what you are

And you're so bad for my heart

(Ooh-ooh, bad for my heart)

(Ooh-ooh, don't know where to start)

Post-Chorus

I know, I know

But I don't wanna go

I know, I know

And I still want you close

Verse 2

You one text, I read it five times

Write something clever, then delete the whole line

My friends can tell before I say a word

They give me that look like, "Here we go again"

You don't even have to try that hard

That's the part that really gets me

I can see the warning signs in colour

Still, they don't look red when you're with me

Pre-Chorus 2

It's in the way you say goodbye

Like you'll be back before the night

And I hate that you can leave me

Wanting one more minute of your time

I know the game I'm playing

I know the stakes I'm raising

But when you turn around and smile

I'm already changing my mind

Chorus 2

You're so bad for my heart

Now you're all over every thought

I can't get a quiet minute

Since you got inside my head

I used to know just when to stop

Now I keep giving you another shot

You don't even have to break me

I do it every time you call

Post-Chorus 2

One look, I'm gone

One touch, too far

I know what you are

You're bad for my heart

One word, I'm yours

That's the worst part

I know what you are

You're bad for my heart

Bridge

Maybe it's the way you never promise

Anything you can't take back

Maybe it's the space you leave between us

That keeps pulling me like that

I don't think you're some kind of answer

I don't think you're meant to stay

I just hate how I can see it clearly

And still want you anyway

(Ooh, anyway)

Still want you anyway

Build

If I kissed you, would it change a thing?

Would I finally know what this is?

Or would I wake up wanting more

Of something I can't live with?

I can hear my better judgement

Trying to get through all this noise

But you look at me like that again

And I don't hear it anymore

Final Chorus

You're so bad for my heart

Now I know you by the dark

Every little warning I ignored

Is written in the way we are

And I could walk away tonight

I could finally get it right

But the truth I never say out loud

I don't wanna lose this high

You're so bad, so bad for my heart

Got me falling before I start

I can see the ending from the beginning

Still, I want you where you are

(Ooh-ooh, bad for my heart)

(So bad, so bad)

(I know, I know)

(Still I want you close)

Outro

Maybe that's the worst part

I know exactly who you are

And I still want you

(Ooh-ooh)

Bad for my heart
