Title: Bad at Love Style: Dark melodic pop / sung confession Verse 1 I keep the lights low So I don’t have to see All the empty places Where somebody should be I say I want love Then I hide when it comes I reach for the warmth Then I fear what it wants I want to be held But I’m scared of the hands I want to be known But I don’t think they can I want someone close When the night gets rough But I know myself I don’t love soft enough Pre-Chorus And I sing to the dark Like it knows my name Like it understands Why I’m built this way I don’t want to hurt nobody I don’t want to be alone But every time love finds me I turn my heart to stone Chorus I’m bad, I’m bad at, Bad at love I want too much Then I don’t trust enough You don’t understand Don’t feel my pain Don’t know the nights That made me this way I’m selfish Want someone for me But I’m scared if they stay They’ll see all of me I’m bad, I’m bad at, Bad at love But God knows I still want some Verse 2 I want a soft voice At the end of the day But I fear every promise Has a price I’ll pay I want a real heart Not a borrowed touch But when someone gives me love I hold it too much I’ve been the strong one The quiet one too The “he’ll be fine” one Nobody saw through So when I finally need I need like a storm I want the whole fire Then I fear getting warm Pre-Chorus 2 And I sing to the walls Like they’re singing back Like they know every place Where my heart went black I don’t want to be broken I don’t want to break trust But how do I love someone When I’m still scared of love? Chorus I’m bad, I’m bad at, Bad at love I want too much Then I don’t trust enough You don’t understand Don’t feel my pain Don’t know the nights That made me this way I’m selfish Want someone for me But I’m scared if they stay They’ll see all of me I’m bad, I’m bad at, Bad at love But God knows I still want some Bridge Maybe I need healing Before I need a hand Maybe I need silence That don’t feel like the end Maybe I need patience Maybe I need time Maybe I need me Before I call you mine But I still want somebody To sit in the dark And not run from the shadows I keep in my heart I still want a love That don’t make me bleed I still want someone Who can stay with me Final Chorus I’m bad, I’m bad at, Bad at love I want too much Then I don’t trust enough You don’t understand Don’t feel my pain Don’t know the nights That made me this way I’m selfish Want someone for me But I’m learning maybe Love starts with me I’m bad, I’m bad at, Bad at love But I ain’t done Trying to become enough Outro I’m bad, I’m bad at, Bad at love But God knows I still want some I’m bad, I’m bad at, Bad at love But maybe I’m still Worth being loved
