Bad Company
Boys of Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never let this go
I just suffocate
But you already know
Spare me time
Let me have my hate
Cause you love to watch
My heart break
Lately
I've been thinking I've been too quick to say I'm sorry
So don't stay with me
If you say I'm bad company
It's okay with me
If all your friends just hate me
I'm not good with this whole optimistic thing
Baby don't you know my misery loves company
So how do I
How do I tell myself that
I'd rather run from here than get trapped
Stuck in a place I just don't relate
Think of your face
Think of the way that you taste
Thinking of happier days
You took them from me
You took them from me
And lately, I've been such
I've been such bad, bad company
And I don't like the way that you talk me, so
I don't, I don't know, but you should, you should save the speech
Cause I'm done listening
So don't stay with me
If you say I'm bad company
It's okay with me
If all your friends just hate me
I'm not good with this whole optimistic thing
Baby, don't you know my misery loves company
Just make me believe you ever even showed me a real side of you that loved me
I let you bring out the worst in me
The worst in me
I let you bring out the worst in me
I've been such bad, bad Company
So don't stay with me
If you say I'm bad company
It's okay with me
If all your friends just hate me
I'm not good with this whole optimistic thing
Baby, don't you know my misery loves company
Just make me believe you ever even showed me a real side of you that loved me
I let you bring out the worst in me
The worst in me
In the song "Bad Company" by Boys of Fall, the lyrics delve into a tumultuous relationship where the singer acknowledges their shortcomings and the negative impact they have had on their partner. The opening lines, "Let's get one thing straight, I never let this go, I just suffocate, But you already know" highlight the internal struggle the singer faces, as they are unable to let go of their negative emotions and resentment towards their partner.
The chorus expresses the singer's acceptance of their role as "bad company" in the relationship. They are aware that their actions and behavior have caused their partner's friends to dislike them. The line, "I'm not good with this whole optimistic thing, Baby don't you know my misery loves company" suggests that the singer finds comfort in their own misery and negativity, and struggles with maintaining a positive outlook on their relationship.
The second verse further emphasizes the internal conflict within the singer. They express a desire to escape the situation rather than becoming trapped in a place where they feel disconnected. The mention of "happier days" that were taken from them reflects a sense of loss and longing for a time when the relationship was more positive. However, the chorus repeats the acceptance of being "bad company" and the inability to change that aspect of themselves.
The bridge of the song shows the singer's vulnerability and their longing for true affection from their partner. They yearn for their partner to show them a genuine side that truly loves and cares for them. However, they acknowledge that they have allowed their partner to bring out the worst in them, suggesting a toxic dynamic in the relationship.
Overall, "Bad Company" explores the complexities and conflicts within a troubled relationship, where the singer grapples with their own negative tendencies and the impact they have on their partner.
Line by Line Meaning
Let's get one thing straight
Let's clarify something right from the start
I never let this go
I never moved on from this
I just suffocate
I feel suffocated by these feelings
But you already know
But you're already aware of it
Spare me time
Give me some space
Let me have my hate
Allow me to feel angry
Cause you love to watch
Because you enjoy witnessing
My heart break
My emotional pain
Lately
Recently
I've been thinking I've been too quick to say I'm sorry
I've realized that I apologize too quickly
So don't stay with me
So please don't continue being with me
If you say I'm bad company
If you believe that I'm a negative influence
It's okay with me
I'm fine with that
If all your friends just hate me
If all your friends despise me
I'm not good with this whole optimistic thing
I struggle with being optimistic
Baby don't you know my misery loves company
Baby, don't you understand that I find solace in the misery of others
So how do I
So how can I
How do I tell myself that
How do I convince myself
I'd rather run from here than get trapped
I prefer escaping from this situation than getting stuck in it
Stuck in a place I just don't relate
Trapped in a situation where I can't connect or identify
Think of your face
Remember your face
Think of the way that you taste
Recall the sensation of kissing you
Thinking of happier days
Reflecting on happier times
You took them from me
You deprived me of those moments
And lately, I've been such
And recently, I've been like
I've been such bad, bad company
I've been a terrible companion
And I don't like the way that you talk me, so
And I don't appreciate how you speak to me
I don't, I don't know, but you should, you should save the speech
I don't, I don't know, but you should refrain from lecturing
Cause I'm done listening
Because I've stopped paying attention
Just make me believe you ever even showed me a real side of you that loved me
Just make me believe that you ever truly revealed a genuine side of yourself that loved me
I let you bring out the worst in me
I allowed you to bring out the negative aspects of my personality
I've been such bad, bad Company
I've been a terrible companion
Just make me believe you ever even showed me a real side of you that loved me
Just make me believe that you ever truly revealed a genuine side of yourself that loved me
I let you bring out the worst in me
I allowed you to bring out the negative aspects of my personality
The worst in me
The most unfavorable parts of me

Banger, very unique style of pop punk. Color me excited.
Guitars & Tech
@Myles Buchanan probably the instrumentals, they're good musicians especially the lead guitarist. The rhythm guitarist and drummer have it pretty tight too.
