Bad Guy
Jesse and the Dandelions Lyrics

Why you ain't home
Why are you not at home with me?

What did I say
What did I do wrong?

Where'd you go
Where did you go without me?

Baby come back to me
Please come back to me, I need you.

Say it ain't so
Tell me it's not true.

Running away
Escaping from the problems and responsibilities.

All alone
Feeling lonely and abandoned.

I can't spend this much time by myself
I cannot handle being alone for this long.

I might just go buy another slice
I might resort to buying drugs to cope with my loneliness.

Get high by myself
I find solace in getting high alone.

I look dead in my own eyes
I confront the emptiness within myself.

I like to lie to myself
I deceive myself in order to escape reality.

Saying it's the last time I'm a bad guy to myself
Promising myself that I won't self-destruct anymore.

And I don't even know what's going on outside
I am detached from the outside world and its happenings.

And I don't care
I am indifferent to everything else.

Cause I'll be fine in here
Because I believe I can find solace within myself.

Don't stop doing what you're doing baby
Please don't stop doing whatever you are doing that makes me temporarily forget my loneliness.

Oh wait I'm all alone
Oh wait, I am reminded that I am still alone.

Been a long time think I'm going crazy
It has been a long time since I've had companionship, and it's driving me insane.

Spend too much time at home
I spend excessive amounts of time alone at home.

I can't see the road no more I'm running freely
I have lost direction in life and am aimlessly escaping from my problems.

Just need something to hold
I just need someone or something to provide comfort and support.

Make time to waste time I hate time
I deliberately allocate time to waste because I despise the passing of time.

Replay time rewind tape to fill
I replay past memories and rewind time in my mind to fill the emptiness.

Days up with great times I stayed high
I mask my loneliness by reminiscing on the good times and staying intoxicated.

Replace time with more time to kill
I replace productive activities with actions that further harm myself.

Won't sign the bill
I refuse to face the consequences of my destructive behavior.

No sign they will
There is no indication that things will improve.

Hold signs and go cry
I put on a facade of being fine in public, but deep inside, I am crying for help.

Oh like they feel
Others pretend to understand, but they cannot truly empathize.

Lows from the hill
The lowest moments come from the highest achievements.

Hope died when Kobe died
The loss of hope and inspiration was felt when Kobe Bryant died.

Oh well just have to deal
Despite the hardships, I have no choice but to cope with the situation.

Fuck that concealed
I reject hiding my pain and struggles.

Guns blast the ones that love has to kill
Love sometimes results in hurting the ones we care about.

So love can rebuild
Love has the power to heal and rebuild after causing harm.

A bloodbath will spill
The consequences of our actions will be messy and harmful.

From cuts that will heal
The wounds caused will eventually mend and heal.

Hungry but ran out of meals
I am hungry for companionship, but all my options have been exhausted.

Time to eat the rich I'm a cannibal in the field
It is time to take advantage of those who have it all; I will do whatever it takes to survive.

If my Family's got to eat I'll grab a handful of the steel
If it means providing for my family, I will resort to violence or crime.

Slip a note to the teller
I will discreetly give a note to the bank teller.

Tell her empty every till
Instructing her to empty all the money from the cash register.

If not I'm a just take a handful of the pills
If she doesn't comply, I will resort to taking a handful of pills as an escape.

Oh baby
Expressing a plea for understanding and compassion.

Why you ain't home
I wonder why you are not here with me.

Where'd you go
I miss your presence, where did you go?

Say it ain't so
Please tell me this situation is not true.

Running away
Escaping from reality and responsibilities.

All alone
Feeling abandoned and isolated.

Baby come back to me
I yearn for your return, please come back to me.
