Bad Guy
Casey Donahew Lyrics

Well, I drink too much
I tend to drink excessively and beyond my limits

And I stay out all night long
I remain outside till late hours with no intention of returning home

If you need someone to blame
In case of any wrongdoing, you can hold me responsible

Hell, I've always been wrong
I have always had a history of making mistakes

Double wells of single malts
I consume high-value alcoholic drinks in large quantities

I'll twist the truth 'til it's your fault
I often manipulate the facts until you are blamed for things that I did

Twelve-step coins from meetings
I have been trying to overcome my addiction and replace it with something positive

Just to live this life
But it seems difficult to live the life that I have dreamt of

Maybe I'm just a bad guy, I don't know why
Perhaps, it's my inherent nature to be a troublemaker, and I have no specific reason behind my actions

But you'll curse the day we met
You'll regret the moment we came across each other

I'll be your downfall 'til it's last call
My presence in your life might lead to your ultimate downfall, and it will continue until the very end

And I'm not coming home to you
I have no intention of returning home to you, as I am comfortable with my current lifestyle

And I'll break everything you love and make you cry
I will destroy your most prized possessions and make you shed tears of sorrow

'Cause baby, I'm just a bad guy
I am just someone who tends to cause disturbances and inflict pain

Like these guitar strings
Like the strings of a guitar, my behavior and actions tend to fluctuate spontaneously

I'll always change my tune
I will constantly alter my behavior and attitude to suit my current motives and agenda

I'll swear to what you want
I'll promise something that you want to hear, even if it's a lie

And I'll promise you the moon
I'll make you believe that I have the resources and capabilities to give you the impossible

You do your best to change my heart
You would try your best to bring out the best in me, but it's pointless

But broken always falls apart
No matter the attempts, broken things fail to work correctly

It won't matter how hard you try
It is irrelevant how sincere or dedicated you are in trying to fix me

'Cause I'm just a bad guy
My nature is fundamentally flawed, and I tend to cause trouble

I'll never turn you loose
I will never let you go and will always tether you to the relationship

Or set you free
I will never permit you to experience true freedom and happiness

And when you think of pain, baby
When you experience distress or sorrow, my memories will flash before your eyes

You'll think of me
I will always be associated with your saddest and darkest moments
