Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Telling your friends I did wrong to you
Didn't know what to do
You got it twisted, it's always you
You were the one who couldn't tell the truth and
Tell the full story, you can't pick and choose yeah
Try'na feel better for your actions huh?
Now you're out here straight acting up
Thought I was yours to keep
But you went and lied on me
You tried to put the blame on me
Now you're try'na take it back
Go right back to what we had, huh?
Now I got you feeling bad, huh?
Wishing we could take it back
Never knew what you had, huh?
That's what I call bad luck
Bad luck
Bad luck
Bad luck
Bad luck
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah… Uh
Gave everything to you
Should've known not to want more from you
You never followed through
I needed more than just words from you
Try'na let it go but I can't do this
Saying that you're sorry but you can't prove it
Won't have me out here looking dumb
Now you're in your feelings 'cause I'm over us
And you feel like you're losing me
Thought I was yours to keep
But you went and lied on me
You tried to put the blame on me
Now you're try'na take it back
Go right back to what we had, huh?
Now I got you feeling bad, huh?
Wishing we could take it back
Never knew what you had, huh?
That's what I call bad luck
Bad luck
Bad luck
Bad luck
Bad luck
We've come as far as we can go
No point holding on
'Cause I can't let go of lies you told
So now I'm moving on
Now you're try'na take it back
Go right back to what we had, huh?
Now I got you feeling bad, huh?
Wishing we could take it back
Never knew what you had, huh?
That's what I call bad luck
Bad luck
Bad luck
Bad luck
Bad luck
The lyrics of the song "Bad" by Courtney Bennett narrate the story of a betrayed lover who is tired of being blamed and accused of something she did not do by her partner. The song begins with the singer talking about how her partner has twisted the truth to their friends, and how she is the one who always gets blamed. She asks why her partner always picks and chooses what to share and tries to feel better for his/her actions by acting up. The singer then takes over and speaks about how she was given everything and how she should have known not to want more. She expresses her disappointment on how her partner never followed through and only gave her words.
In the chorus, the singer expresses how her partner now feels like he/she is losing her but goes back and forth about what they want. The singer makes it clear that her partner lied on her and tried to pin the blame on her, but now they are trying to take it back and go back to what they had. She calls it bad luck and emphasizes how she never knew what her partner had until now. The last verse of the song acknowledges that they have come as far as they can go, and there is no point in holding on. The singer can't let go of the lies her partner told, so she is moving on.
