Bad Habit
Everything I ever wanted
was nothing you ever gave me
Each day I wake not to see your face
is the best day of my week.
I've never been good at quitting
or really at following through
so you might find you might ask
then what is it I do
I just go back to you.
I see it's hasn't been snowing again
last year I think we made a bet
we made the same one the year before
and you still have not paid me yet.
You're the worst bad habit,
but you're so good at it.
I think I've lost my head this time for sure
so if I'm acting crazy,
like I do so much lately
it's my bad habit baby
my bad habit made me
A perfect situation
well we were the opposite.
You were just too cool to care
and I could not get a grip.
But you like to come by
I think to remind me you can
with barely even asking
you can make this us thing happen
again and again
I need a new plan
I see it's getting warm again
taking layers off like shedding skin
you look at me with heated eyes
and I find that I'm drawn in
You're the worst bad habit,
but you're so good at it.
I think I've lost my head this time for sure
so if I'm acting crazy,
like I do so much lately
it's my bad habit baby
my bad habit made me
Everything I ever wanted
was nothing you ever gave me
even though I always tried
to give you everything.
after all this time I'm just
a pretty puppet on a string.
make me dance, dance, dance
make me dance, dance, dance.
You're the worst bad habit,
but you're so good at it.
