Bad at Love
Halsey Lyrics

Got a boy back home in Michigan
I have a boyfriend in Michigan.

And it tastes like Jack when I'm kissing him
Kissing him reminds me of the taste of Jack Daniel's whiskey.

So I told him that I never really liked his friends
I didn't like his friends, so I told him so.

Now he's gone and he's calling me a bitch again
He left me and is now disrespectfully calling me a name.

There's a guy that lives in a garden state
There is a man who lives in New Jersey.

And he told me that we make it 'til we graduate
He had faith in our relationship lasting until we graduated from college.

So I told him that the music would be worth the wait
I convinced him to wait for the music to make our relationship stronger.

But he wants me in the kitchen with a dinner plate
However, he just sees me as domestic, wanting me to cook for him.

I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
I have faith, I have faith, I have faith, I have faith.

That we're meant to be
I believe that we are destined to be together.

But jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
However, my jealousy keeps getting in the way.

Get the best of me
It overwhelms me.

Look, I don't mean to frustrate, but I
I don't intend to irritate, but I still do.

Always make the same mistakes, yeah I
I always repeat the same errors.

Always make the same mistakes 'cause
I keep making those mistakes because I never learn from them.

I'm bad at love (ooh-ooh)
I'm not skilled at maintaining a romantic relationship.

But you can't blame me for tryin'
But at least I'm trying my best.

You know I'd be lyin' sayin'
I would be lying if I said

You were the one (ooh-ooh)
That you were the person who could finally make it work.

That could finally fix me
That could finally mend my romantic shortcomings.

Lookin' at my history
Reflecting on my past relationships.

I'm bad at love
I truly am not good at keeping a loving connection.

Got a girl with California eyes
I'm interested in a girl with an attractive Californian look.

And I thought that she could really be the one this time
I was convinced that she was going to be the perfect fit for me.

But I never got the chance to make her mine
Unfortunately, we didn't have a chance to be together.

Because she fell in love with little thin white lines
She ended up being fond of drugs more than me.

London girl with an attitude
I met a girl from London who had an edgy demeanor.

We never told no one but we look so cute
We kept our relationship a secret, but we looked adorable together.

Both got way better things to do
We are incredibly busy with more important things.

But I always think about it when I'm riding through
But I secretly reminisce about our time together as I pass through places.

I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
I am confident, I am confident, I am confident, I am confident.

That I'm in too deep
But I realize that I'm too invested.

And jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Still, my envious behavior causes issues.

Get the best in me
It remains problematic and challenges me greatly.

Look, I don't mean to frustrate, but I
I really don't want to annoy anyone, but I still do it regardless.

Always make the same mistakes, yeah I
I'm known for having a pattern of making identical errors.

Always make the same mistakes 'cause
I haven't learned from my mistakes.

I'm bad at love (ooh-ooh)
I'm not experienced in the art of amorous relationships.

Oh, you know, you know, you know, you know (ooh)
You just know.

I know that you're afraid
I know that you are scared.

I'm gonna walk away
That I will leave you.

Each time the feeling fades
Every instance that we lose the spark we had.

You know I'm bad at love (ooh-ooh)
I'm just not skilled at navigating romantic love.

But you can't blame me for tryin'
You can't fault me for at least attempting to give it a try.

You know I'd be lyin' sayin'
It wouldn't be truthful if I said.

That you were the one (ooh-ooh)
That only you were capable of fixing my romantic shortcomings.

That could finally fix me
That can finally mend my romantic shortcomings.

Lookin' at my history
Analyzing my previous relationships.

I'm bad at love (ooh-ooh)
I'm not good at keeping romantic connections.

Oh, you know, you know, you know, you know (ooh)
You just know.

I'm bad at love (ooh-ooh)
I struggle with amorous relationships.
