[Verse 1] You said you’d be five minutes Came back in a different year Same boots, same cracked leather But a stranger in the mirror here Coffee gone cold on the counter Your keys still in the door Lipstick on your collar That shade I don’t wear anymore [Chorus] This is a bad romance Burned down in a rented kitchen Ashes on your hoodie Smell like every wrong decision You say “we can fix this” While you twist the same old knife This is a bad romance But I keep coming back to life [Verse 2] You laugh like nothing happened Turn the TV up too loud I’m counting all your secrets Like the stains in our old couch Your phone face-down on the table Buzzing like a guilty heart I trace the crack in the drywall Where we swore we’d never fall apart [Chorus] This is a bad romance Burned down in a rented kitchen Ashes on your hoodie Smell like every wrong decision You say “we can fix this” While you twist the same old knife This is a bad romance But I keep coming back to life [Bridge] I pack my bags in my head Every night, every night (oh) But my hands don’t move When you say it’ll be alright You’re the bruise I press Just to feel something You’re the word I bite back Every time the phone rings [Chorus] This is a bad romance Burned down in a rented kitchen Ashes on your hoodie Smell like every wrong decision You say “we can fix this” While you twist the same old knife This is a bad romance Still I keep coming back Keep coming back to life (oh)
