BAD
B.B. King; U2 Lyrics

If you twist and turn away
If you try to avoid something because it scares you or you can't handle it

If you tear yourself in two again
If you hurt yourself or make yourself upset again

If I could, yes I would
If I were capable of it, I would do it

If I could, I would
If I were able to, I would do it

Let it go
Stop holding onto this, it's time to move on

Surrender
Give up, it's not worth fighting

Dislocate
You have become disconnected from something, it's time to let it go

If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
If I could give you something to hold on to, I would

Leave this heart of clay
Get rid of your hardened emotions and be more open

See you walk, walk away
Watch you leave

Into the night
Disappearing into the darkness

And through the rain
Going through tough times

Into the half-light
Going into a period of confusion and uncertainty

And through the flame
Going through a difficult and painful experience

If I could through myself
If I could do something to help you

Set your spirit free, I'd lead your heart away
Help you become more independent in mind and soul

See you break, break away
Watch you escape from something or someone

Into the light
Entering a brighter phase of life

And to the day
Starting fresh with new opportunities

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Vocalization

To let it go
Release yourself from your worries or fears

And so to fade away
Let things calm down

Wide awake
Completely alert and conscious

I'm wide awake
Completely alert and conscious

Wide awake
Completely alert and conscious

I'm not sleeping
Not asleep, but attentive and active

If you should ask then maybe they'd
Asking someone else for validation

Tell you what I would say
Retelling what I've said to someone else

True colors fly in blue and black
Revealing one's true emotions

Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Emotions that are conflicting and painful

Colors crash, collide in bloodshot eyes
The meeting of two opposing emotions

This desperation
A feeling of intense hopelessness

Dislocation
Disconnection from a social or emotional environment

Separation, condemnation
Feeling ostracized or rejected

Revelation in temptation
Realizing something important during an emotional trial

Isolation, desolation
Being completely alone and hopeless

Let it go
Release yourself from your anxieties or sorrows

Oh now, and so to fade away
A sigh of relief that things can calm down now
