Bad News
Attack the Sound Lyrics

Now think back a week ago
Reflect on a previous time, specifically one week ago

Oh no
Expressing surprise or concern

Now we stayed silent and it killed me slow
Our lack of communication caused me great emotional pain over time

Oh-oh-oh
Vocalization of emotional distress

And now we're face to face trying to save us
We are currently in a situation where we are trying to salvage our relationship

Next to you I feel alone
Despite being close to you physically, I still feel isolated and lonely

I feel so all alone
I experience a strong sense of loneliness

All the time I never knew
Throughout our time together, I was unaware

Ah-ah-ah
Vocalization denoting realization or surprise

Who you were so tell me are you gonna change
I lacked knowledge of your true self, so I ask if you have intentions to transform

I'll be the bearer of your bad news
I will take on the responsibility of delivering unpleasant information to you

Bad bad news
Referring to the negative information being shared

You tried to play me like a damn fool
You attempted to deceive me and make me look foolish

Damn damn fool
Expressing frustration and feeling foolish

I know you hate just what we're going through
I acknowledge that you dislike the situation we are currently experiencing

Going through
Referring to the difficulties being faced

I'm ashamed to say that while I'm still here loving you
Regrettably, I confess that despite everything, I still harbor love for you

You made this bed now you can lay too
You are responsible for the predicament we find ourselves in, so you must face the consequences as well

Lay lay too
Encouragement for the person to accept accountability

Just so you know there's still a ways for us to go
I want you to understand that there is still a distance to be covered in our journey together

Repetition of the word 'news' as a reinforcing element
