Bad Things
Alison Wonderland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won't make my bed tonight
'Cause I don't feel like sleepin' tight
Wanna ask if you're alright
But I need some time, I need some time

It's a cold place, it's a rat race
It's a long face in the dark
It's a fake smile, is it worthwhile
When you lose half of your heart?

Don't fall in love with the bad things
Remind me why I'm still alive
I'm still alive

Don't fall in love with the bad things
Remind me why I'm still alive
Don't fall in love with the bad things
Remind me why I'm still alive
I'm still alive





Don't fall in love with the bad things
Remind me why I'm still alive

The song expresses the need for space and time to process and deal with the challenges of life. The lines, "Wanna ask if you're alright, but I need some time, I need some time" suggest a desire to reach out to someone, but also the need to prioritize one's own well-being.


The song delves into the harsh realities of life and the struggles that come with it. The lines, "It's a cold place, it's a rat race, it's a long face in the dark" bring to light the sense of isolation and loneliness that can come with navigating through difficult situations. The lines, "It's a fake smile, is it worthwhile, when you lose half of your heart?" express the challenges of coping with loss and heartbreak.

@Alison Wonderland wow people really place you on a pedestal... keep being your imperfect human self, it's where your genuine writing comes from, and that's good enough in my book :) if the stars align hope to collab in the near future
