Bad Idea Lyrics

I cannot stay this close to you
I know that now
I got carried away just like I always do
I'd like to keep you next to me
But I can't sleep
I'm nothing but a slave of my misery

Once I got love
Now I've got trauma
I got so used to all of that drama
Life is a bitch but you know so is karma

Bottle of wine and marijuana
Doing what I do best
Getting fucked up
Hotel room, broken hearts in a hot tub
But you know

There's darkness and it follows me
Don't hold on so tight
Don't hold on so tight
I'm never gonna let you in
Don't hold on so tight
Don't hold on so tight
Baby, I'm a bad idea

I can not play this game with you
I wish I could
But I'm running away just like I always do
I hate to say it but it's true
I feel so cruel
But maybe I'm just not that into you

Done so many things I'm not proud of
Time runs out and you're getting wound up
There's no doubt I'm wearing your heart out

Book the plane, let's go to Bahamas
You want to get away from your mama's
You can call it love if you wanna
But you know

There's darkness and it follows me
Don't hold on so tight
Don't hold on so tight
I'm never gonna let you in
Don't hold on so tight
Don't hold on so tight
Baby, I'm a bad idea

I'm never gonna let you in
Never gonna let you in
Baby, I'm a bad idea
I'm never gonna let you in
Never gonna let you in
Baby, I'm a bad idea

(You should know that)

Ooh
There's darkness and it follows me
Don't hold on so tight
Don't hold on so tight
I'm never gonna let you in
Don't hold on so tight
Don't hold on so tight
Baby, I'm a bad idea

I'm never gonna let you in
Never gonna let you in
Baby, I'm a bad idea
I'm never gonna let you in
Never gonna let you in
Baby, I'm a bad idea

I'm never gonna let you in
Never gonna let you in
Baby, I'm a bad idea
I'm never gonna let you in
Never gonna let you in

(You should know that)
