Bad Bad Bar He’s sittin’ on the counter like he owns the place Wrapped in foil, smug little smirk on his face He’s 50% sweet and 100% wrong But I’ve wanted him all damn day long He whispers sweet things like “you deserve a break” I say, “I’m strong”, but that’s clearly fake 'Cause I know he’s trouble in a pretty disguise Bitterness dressed up in sugar and lies I’ve read this plot, I’ve played this part Girl meets bad bar, then falls apart Swore I was done with reckless bites But here he is, in fluorescent light He’s a bad idea wrapped in silver and charm Like texting that guy with the snake tattooed arm Leaves me high for a moment, then hits me with shame But oh god, I love losing this game I want him, I hate it, I’ll cry when it’s through He melts in my mouth like he melted my rules I should walk away, but I never get far I’m in love, I’m in pain - with a bad, bad bar He’s got that snap when he breaks in two Like the sound of me breaking promises too Said no more 2 a.m. regrets in bed But here I am with cocoa on my breath Told myself I’m healing, told myself I’ve grown But one little bite and I’m dialing my ex on the phone This not love, it’s not care — it’s just habit in disguise But that doesn’t stop the butterflies He’s a bad idea… So here’s to weak will and all my sweet sins To dancing with devils wrapped in tin foil He’s not good for me, but I still let him stay Guess some cravings don’t go away He’s a bad idea…
