[Bad of the Heart] [ Verse 1 ] The city lights were pulsing in a sapphire blue I stood beside the station platform next to you You checked your silver watch at half past twelve o'clock Your sudden presence hit me like a seismic shock [ Pre-Chorus 1 ] A heavy rhythm started climbing in my chest I fell for every promise that you manifest [ Chorus 1 ] You’re bad, you’re bad, you’re bad, you’re bad of the heart You tear a perfect world and rip it all apart I never thought you’d turn and change your mind on me Now I am drifting out across a stormy sea [ Verse 2 ] You signed the lease on Friday then you tore the page A quiet hunter watching from a gilded cage Your love became a riddle with no secret rhyme A clever clock that simply ran away from time [ Pre-Chorus 2 ] The jagged shadows started moving on the wall I never realized you’d let me take the fall [ Chorus 2 ] You’re bad, you’re bad, you’re bad, you’re bad of the heart You tear a perfect world and rip it all apart I never thought you’d turn and change your mind on me Now I am drifting out across a stormy sea [Instrumental Break - Melodic Piano Solo and Acoustic Guitar Accents] [ Bridge ] The lightning struck and scattered sparks into the rain A sudden flash of white that signaled all the pain Your velvet charm became a weapon in the night A thief who came to steal away the morning light [ Verse 3 ] I’m walking through the ruins like a hollow ghost I’m drifting further from the safety of the coast The Excommunicado mark is on my skin Still paying for the game I didn't want to win [ Pre-Chorus 3 ] The silver mirror shows a stranger in the glass I watch the lonely hours of the winter pass [ Final Chorus ] You’re bad, you’re cold, you’re bad, you’re bad of the heart You took my entire world and ripped it all apart You chose to turn around and shut the door on me To leave me drowning in a dark and stormy sea [ Outro ] A jagged shadow follows down the city street I hear the echo of your cold and heavy feet Excommunicado, left with no defense The price of loving you is never making sense
