Bad for Me is about discovering that the person you loved is bad for you, really frickin' bad, and the relationship you tried so hard to make work was based on lies. It’s about seeing someone clearly for the first time and rising from the emotional ashes to become stronger, empowered, and happy on your own terms. It's an especially powerful song for women who've been held down and made insecure by a jealous lover.
Lyrics
Wake me up
Set me free
I'm trapped in this nightmarish dream
Chew me up
Spit me out
Did I leave a bad taste in your mouth?
Broken promises
Empty hugs and kisses
Every second that we spent was one more second wasted
Checking my location
Got mad cos I had friends
You can take your pretty face and leave
You're bad for me
And it's my fault, apparently
Made me feel safe in my own skin
And then you ripped me open again
You're bad for me
You left me crying on my knees
Promise me one more time
Insist that this one isn't a lie
Build me up
Break me down
While I dig my nails into the ground
Broken promises
Empty hugs and kisses
Every second that we spent was one more second wasted
Tell me you don't trust me
I find that kinda funny
Cause you were hiding way more than I could
You're bad for me
You caused this insecurity
In me
Made me feel safe in my own skin
And then you ripped my heart out again
You're bad for me
You left me crying on my
Tell me one more time that I'm the liar
Make me walk on eggshells
Try to drag me through hell
Now I'm sleeping on a bed of roses
I've never felt better
Since I burned your letters
You did me a favor and I mean it
I'm finally thriving
I got so sick of swallowing my pride
You're bad for me
Tried to blame me for everything
While you watched me bleed
I'm doing fine in my own skin
I love the life I'm living in
You're bad for me
And now I'm standing on my-
-You're bad for me
I did my time, and now I'm free
From your first degree
I'm living life in my own skin
I wouldn't trade it for anything
You're bad for me
But now I'm standing on my feet
