Bad Blood
Macy Kate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

‘Cause baby, now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
‘Cause baby, now we got bad blood (hey)
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve them
You made a really deep cut
And, baby, now we got bad blood (hey)

Did you have to do this
I was thinking that you could be trusted
Did you have to ruin
What was shiny, now it's all rusted
Did you have to hit me
Where I'm weak baby, I couldn't breathe
And rub it in so deep
Salt in the wound like you're laughing right at me

Oh, it's so sad to
Think about the good times,
You and I

‘Cause baby, now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
‘Cause baby, now we got bad blood (Hey!)
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve them
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we got bad blood (Hey!)

Did you think we'd be fine
Still got scars from the back of your knife
So don't think it's in the past
These kinda wounds they last and they last
Did you think it all through?
All these things will catch up to you
And time can heal but this won't
So if you're coming my way, just don't

Oh, it's so sad to
Think about the good times,
You and I

‘Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
‘Cause, baby, now we got bad blood (Hey!)
‘Cause baby, now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve them
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we got bad blood (Hey!)

Band-aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
If you live like that, you live with ghosts
Band-aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
If you live like that, you live with ghosts
Cause if you love like that, blood runs cold

‘Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
‘Cause, baby, now we got bad blood (Hey!)
Cause baby, now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve them
You made a really deep cut
And baby, now we got bad blood (Hey!)

‘Cause now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
Cause, baby, now we got bad blood (Hey!)
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve them




You made a really deep cut
And, baby, now we got bad blood

Overall Meaning

Macy Kate's “Bad Blood” is a song about a relationship that was once filled with love but is now poisoned with hatred and grudges. The song's lyrics discuss how a betrayal leads to a deep cut and bad blood between two people who used to have a good relationship. The chorus of the song states, “‘Cause baby, now we got bad blood/ You know it used to be mad love/ So take a look what you've done/ ‘Cause baby, now we got bad blood (hey).” The song portrays a story of a relationship gone wrong due to a breach of trust, leading to permanent damage and the inability to fix it.


The song's lines “Band-aids don't fix bullet holes/ You say sorry just for show/ If you live like that, you live with ghosts” reveal the extent of the damage the betrayal has done. The chorus repeats to reinforce this point, underscoring how the hurt caused by the betrayal is irreversible. Although time might heal wounds, some scars never heal completely, and they leave the relationship permanently damaged.
