Bad Habits
Ed Sheeran Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(One, two, three, four)

Ooh
Every time you come around, you know I can't say no
Every time the sun goes down, I let you take control
I can feel the paradise before my world implodes
And tonight had something wonderful

My bad habits lead to late nights ending alone
Conversations with a stranger I barely know
Swearing this will be the last but it probably won't
I've got nothing left to lose, or use, or do
My bad habits lead to wide eyes staring at space
And I know I lose control of the things that I say
Yeah, I was looking for a way out, now I can't escape
Nothing happens after two
It's true, it's true
My bad habits lead to you (ooh)

My bad habits lead to you (ooh)
My bad habits lead to you

Every pure intention ends when the good times start
Falling over everything to reach the first-time spark
It started under neon lights and then it all got dark
I only know how to go too far

My bad habits lead to late nights ending alone
Conversations with a stranger I barely know
Swearing this will be the last but it probably won't
I've got nothing left to lose, or use, or do
My bad habits lead to wide eyes staring at space
And I know I lose control of the things that I say
Yeah, I was looking for a way out, now I can't escape
Nothing happens after two
It's true, it's true
My bad habits lead to you (ooh)
My bad habits lead to you (ooh)

We took the long way 'round
And burned 'til the fun ran out, now

My bad habits lead to late nights ending alone
Conversations with a stranger I barely know
Swearing this will be the last but it probably won't
I've got nothing left to lose, or use, or do
My bad habits lead to wide eyes staring at space
And I know I lose control of the things that I say
I was looking for a way out, now I can't escape
Nothing happens after two
It's true, it's true
My bad habits lead to you (ooh)

My bad habits lead to you (ooh)
My bad habits lead to you

Overall Meaning

In Bad Habits, Ed Sheeran sings about the power of bad habits. He acknowledges that every time this person he is singing about comes around, he can't resist their charm, and he lets them take control. He knows that he is heading towards an implosion, but he can feel a glimmer of paradise with this person, and that's what keeps him hooked.


The chorus explains how his bad habits lead him to a lonely ending after late nights, conversations with strangers, and a string of promises that he will eventually break. He loses control of what he says and ends up staring into space, wide-eyed. He acknowledges that he was initially looking for a way out, but now he is trapped in his bad habits, which lead him towards this person.


The bridge of the song is intriguing because we get a glimpse into how it all started under neon lights before things got dark. The person he was with took him on a ride, and he doesn't know how to stop it. He burned until the fun ran out, and now he is trapped in his bad habits that lead him towards this person.


Overall, Bad Habits is a reflection of how bad habits can take over an individual and jeopardize their life, making them cling to something that might not be for their betterment.

I should be dead. They have my eyes and powerful ppl can control you... Inn your dreams and awake... The more soulful evil they can do inn my connection. Siobhan my eyes.. There talking too someone eles.. But use my memory.... That's why places that have been changed..with a fake connection. Mind control.. So They don't show god.... If a religion or country hate me.. It was over. They heard all my phone calls... Now I can't go back inn music. It was just too prove god wrong.. That's all. Cable's are running under are house. They turn them up. So I can't go spiritual. And too kill me... There all using nextdoor....
 We Are all inn a triangle.... I can't be bothered too go deep...
Okay they don't want god.... Not because of heaven.. They don't want the world too end...
Okay the triangle they made.. This was civilisation... Control.. Seeing a world.. Remember nothing is real...
Ppl at the top of the triangle have all the power. They don't need god..... Black magic . Drinking children's blood.. Sports stars get more powerful .. You can become anything you want too be. They hold the power.. Children are the next generation. So there left and see if They can go too the top of the triangle. LA is the devils pit...They don't know god has already taken pure humans with 3 emotions too heaven... Okay the vaccine there giving you. Is changing your DNA... So your not pure human... Why do this.. It's too end ppl inn the bottom of the triangle.. Ppl at the bottom. Hold the key too religion.. Because of poor and poverty... So we pray too god for a better life or family... If your DNA has changed. You lose a link too god....
They need too get riding poverty. Ppl that are depressed... Ppl that live for god... It's all faith... This keeps God's connection too you... Are universe is a tringel.. Think off a 4 wall mirror... You still have the North star. Your connection... Alien life is everywhere... Remember we all light... You can be any image... And God's imagination makes anything looks human.... If we all get a vaccine are DNA is changed... They can kill if everyone inn the lower bottom of the triangle... Celebrity controls you.. ENVY...There told what too do.. Nobody stands up too govements no more.. Because there just kill it clone you...
Children's bloodied drunk. Too make you younger... But you have too do it inn a way there inn so much fear drenalin....
When the bottom of the ppl inn the triangle have gone.. There is no reason for FAITH.... The scientist beat religion Because your have more power.. And money.. So a deep depression and poor of poverty has gone.. A new world order.. Where ppl don't need too pray..
The world can go on.... It's not just your DNA....they can cause disease.... And it's easier too kill ppl.... Tap water medications.
Ppl at the top will not have this vacvine... most Jewish ppl as well...
There trying too kill me.. Ever since God can too me. I was the 17th.. I had my soul stolen when I was a song writer she did work for the fbi. There pouring evil all inn my mind. And mind control..They done everything too kill me... I kept getting out of hospital.... I have a clone Of me...
Someone is trying so hard too keep me alive... She saw god. Inn my connection.. She saw everything she saw the real me.... She wants me alive because she didn't know why they wanted her too hurt me.... think.. Who has the power too delete me of Spotify iTunes amazon..... Goggle .... Goggle is the illuminate....
They have you inn control....
The only way you can keep god is if you all come off social media.... You can go free... They have no tool.. For control.. You won't judge or hate.... It true my connection went all round the earth... A team of.ppl.came too are house and out me as mental health.... They just turned up.... After I write songs.... They did this so I look like a loose cannon..... I made a deal... If I go back too god.. I would choose her... It's all about it I change the background too a sky blue... you have too go spirtal... You have too give god you spirt everything.... You have too connect with Venus... It's your only way too connect with angels.... Because it's too dangerous for angels too come down.. The devil is everywhere...
If we lose technology we can become free... With are one emotions.... If she breaks my connection she knows there kill me... She's hoping I go back spirtal.. And go back.... She knows are settle with her.... I keep my word.... Prince William. Will be king. I can't say more about him..
you don't have too believe this.. It's all about choice... Ppl inn the bottom of the triangle. You hold the power so much.. If you don't judge you can't hate.. God needs this. Because we love and be inn peace. God wanted a free world.. 3 pure humans. With 3 emotions. Too rule the world.. No war. No greed. No programs too mind control you. Playing with your emotions.. The top half of the world is inn greed. And there separating themselves from the bottom half... It's all devil worship.. America and Britain.. Celebs stay young .. Blood. There giving keys. Too tunnels. You can change your light. So your image can change.. God can't tell you. It's up too ppl he goes too.... This spiritual war has gone on so long.... You can only be happy if you don't judge. You can't hate. And red and black will go from your soul.... They have your minds but not your heart.. Listen too your heart and see if god is happy with all this... You should get an answer... If you end social media no more control. Your go free.. Life is about yourself..
