Bad Decisions
Madyx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't have the heart to tell you
That I think I made a big mistake

I made a big mistake
I don't have the guts to speak the truth

Cause I think it might make your heart ache
Make your heart ache
You're the reason why I lost my innocence

Your love's a weapon I lost my innocence

You're the reason why (ooohhhh)
You're the reason why (ooohhhh)
I just wanna make bad decisions, bad decisions
It starts with a little question

Some things I probably shouldn't say
It's always good intentions
That end up getting in the way
You're the reason why I lost my innocence
Your love's a weapon I lost my innocence




You're the reason why (ooohhhh)
I just wanna make bad decisions, bad decisions

Pretty cool! By the way, my husband has a page on Youtube, (Andrew Burns Music) and was having a hard time to reach out to new subscribers. I know that he has been working very hard on his channel, and I think that there are several of his songs that are incredibly similar to the songs that you have on this channel, so I thought I could be extra nice and share with you as well. If you enjoy all the phenomenal songs on this channel, I am sure that you will enjoy his music also! 💕
