(Best bad news)
(Best bad news)
Here I go again
Thought that I'd take a shot in the dark
Thought that I'd fix the hole in my heart
But I bet that you'll just leave another one
Here I go again
Swallow the lump in my throat and then
Play it all out before I arrive, before I unwind
Looking for places to hide
Oh, if I could only read off of your script
Maybe it'd tell me something I didn't know before
I play cool and in the morning
I'm still acting, laying on your mattress
Hiding my bad habits
Stop
How'd I get so tongue-tied?
I'm not usually this uptight
And why am I running
When you're the best bad news I've ever had?
(Best bad news)
I can't help myself
Thinking about you thinking 'bout me
I'm feelin' hopeless
Hopin' this works
These lines I've rehearsed
The ones that you haven't heard
Oh, if I could only read off of your script
Maybe it'd tell me something I didn't know before
I play cool and in the morning
I'm still acting, laying on your mattress
Hiding my bad habits
Stop
How'd I get so tongue-tied?
I'm not usually this uptight
And why am I running
When you're the best bad news I've ever had?
What
If you think I'm too much?
Last one kinda left a deep cut
I'm done, tired of running
When you're the best bad news I've ever had
(I've ever had)
You're the best bad news
With my hands on you
There's warning signs, but I'll walk right through
Best bad news
With my hands on you
A warning sign's never looked so good
You're the best bad news
With my hands on you
There's warning signs, but I'll walk right through
You're the best bad news
With my hands on you
A warning sign's never looked so good
Stop
How'd I get so tongue-tied?
I'm not usually this uptight
And why am I running
When you're the best bad news I've ever had?
What
If you think I'm too much?
Last one kinda left a deep cut
I'm done, tired of running
When you're the best bad news I've ever had
(Best bad news, hands on you)
(Warning sign, walk right through)
(Best bad news, hands on you)
(Warning sign, looked so good)
