Bad
Los Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You used to love me on my bad days
When the sun wouldn't come out
When I was called to make a statement
I'd wait for you to figure out

Why what you said just a minute ago
Triggered feelings from before
From the time you don't remember
Well I forgot, but can't let go

If it was easy, I'd forget about you, baby
But I never really understood
How people move on from a heart to love another
Oh, if I could, I would
If it was easy, I'd forget about you, baby
But I never really understood
How people move on from a heart to love another
Oh, if I could, I would

I picked at all that I could think of
I guess I picked that up from you
No one could make me feel so useless
I know I did it to you, too

Why cut so deep every word that we speak?
Triggers, shit we never thought
I still remember all the good times
If not, I'll recreate 'em all

If it was easy, I'd forget about you, baby
But I never really understood
How people move on from a heart to love another
Oh, if I could, I would
If it was easy, I'd forget about you, baby
But I never really understood
How people move on from a heart to love another
Oh, if I could, I would

If I could, I would
Oh, if I could, I would

Yeah, I try
But we're in the same crowd
Always at the same scene
So I don't know how
I'm supposed to act fine
When we used to be burning love
That died
Colder than ice
Why am I surprised?
But I guess that's how
I guess that's how we do it now

If it was easy, I'd forget about you, baby
But I never really understood
How people move on from a heart to love another
Oh, if I could, I would
If it was easy, I'd forget about you, baby
But I never really understood
How people move on from a heart to love another
Oh, if I could, I would





If I could, I would

Line by Line Meaning

You used to love me on my bad days
You were once there for me even on my worst days


When the sun wouldn't come out
When everything around me seemed dark and gloomy


When I was called to make a statement
When I was faced with making a difficult decision


I'd wait for you to figure out
I relied on your support and guidance to get through those tough times


Why what you said just a minute ago
Why your recent words triggered old feelings and memories


Triggered feelings from before
Caused me to relive past emotions that are still affecting me


From the time you don't remember
From a time that you may have forgotten but still has an impact on me


Well I forgot, but can't let go
I may have forgotten the details but the wounds still run deep


If it was easy, I'd forget about you, baby
If moving on were easy, I would have left you behind by now


But I never really understood
I can't comprehend how someone can just move on from a broken heart


How people move on from a heart to love another
I can't fathom how someone can open up and love again after getting their heart broken


I picked at all that I could think of
I examined every detail and played out every scenario in my head


I guess I picked that up from you
Maybe I learned that behavior from you and how you used to analyze everything as well


No one could make me feel so useless
I felt so worthless like no one could possibly love or accept me


I know I did it to you, too
I also caused you to feel the same way and that's not fair


Why cut so deep every word that we speak?
Why do even the simplest words cut so deeply and hurt so much?


Triggers, shit we never thought
Unexpected moments and things bring up painful memories and emotions


I still remember all the good times
I can't forget the wonderful memories we shared together


If not, I'll recreate 'em all
If I can't remember them well enough, I'll do my best to create new ones that are just as special


Yeah, I try
I'm trying my hardest to move on


But we're in the same crowd
We still run in the same circles and see each other often


Always at the same scene
We're often at the same events and locations


So I don't know how
I'm not sure how to deal with the situation


I'm supposed to act fine
I'm expected to just act normal and pretend like everything is okay


When we used to be burning love
When we used to be madly in love with each other


That died
But now that love is dead


Colder than ice
Now our relationship is devoid of any warmth or affection


Why am I surprised?
I shouldn't be surprised that things turned out this way


But I guess that's how
But I suppose that's just how things are


I guess that's how we do it now
This is how we deal with our broken relationship now, by pretending like everything is okay when it's not


If I could, I would
If it were possible, I would move on and forget about you
