Bad News
Kanye West Lyrics
Didn't you know
I was waiting on you
Waiting on a dream
That'll never come true
Didn't you know
I was waiting on you
My face turned to stone
When I heard the news
When you decide to break the rules
People will talk
Like its old news
I played it off and act like I already knew
Let me ask you
How long have you known too
You played it off and act like he's brand new
When you decide to break the rules
'Cause I just heard some real bad news
Real bad news
Real bad news
Real bad news
Oh you just gonna
Keep another no you wont
Oh you just gonna
Keep it like you never knew
Oh you just gonna
Keep another love for you
Oh you just gonna
Keep it like you never knew
While I'm waiting on a dream
That'll never come true
Oh you just gonna
Keep it like you never knew
My face turned to stone
When I heard the news
Whats on the news

Didn't you know, I was waiting on you
Waiting on a dream that'll never come true
Didn't you know, I was waiting on you

Let me ask you how long have you known dude
You played it off and act like he's brand new

One of Kanye’s most tragic songs ever. It perfectly describes what it feels like to be cheated on or abandoned by the person you love. The lyrics are so simple yet they capture everything, jealously, paranoia, shock, longing, heartbreak. To top it off you can hear the pain in Kanye’s voice
Kwabena Johnson
Between the shit his fiancee did and his mother death oozes out all over this album

@Ivan Flores I feel this song so hard right now. Fave Kanye album
Ivan Flores
Thinking this lately, the lyrics are as honest and simple as they get! This is one of Kanye’s greatest songs of all time. It’s a shame this album isn’t praised as much as MBDTF
Cole Brown
Yup
NY__Josh
Arman C she didn’t she cheat on him though

The violin part sends me to another world.
Cam Lizabeth
@Time Traveller exactly me too. Especially since I play the violin and I’m a sucker for orchestra Music

@Jordan Walls I completely understand you bro i too pay attention to every small detail in music which paints a clearer picture of what the song is about and all the emotions of the artist
Jordan Walls
