Bad for Me

You're the salt in my wound

You're the sting in my tail

You're the last of all answers to my prayers

You're the storm on the horizon

You're the wind and the rain

And I'll find no shelter there

My Mother warned me that a man like you

Would only bring sorrow and pain

She said "he'll drag you down to the belly of your bones

and leave you broken just where you lay"

Just where you lay

I've been at war

And I've been at peace

I've walked every road in between

Good men try but they can't set you free

I know just what I need

And it's bad for me

You're the thorn on the rose

You're the ink in the well

You're all of my nightmares come true

Every plays tragedy

Every broken melody

Each and every one of them is you

With a bloodshot sky and the shadows creeping in

You're the devil always knocking at my door

You're the last shot in a bottle of gin

When I thought I couldn't take any more

Take any more

I've been at war

And I've been at peace

I've walked every road in between

Good men try but they can't set you free

I know just what I need

And it's bad for me

I've been at war

And I've been at peace

I've walked every road in between

Good men try but they can't set you free

I know just what I need

And it's bad for me
