Bad Blood
Megan Davies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 on my back from your knife
So don't think it's in the past, these kinda wounds they last and they last.
Now 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
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 (ghosts)
Band-aids don't fix bullet holes (hey)
You say sorry just for show (hey)
If you live like that, you live with ghosts (hey)
If you love like that blood runs cold

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love (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 (think we can solve them)
You made a really deep cut
And, baby, now we got bad blood
(Hey)

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done (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
I trusted you, but did you really have to ruin everything like this?


Did you have to ruin what was shiny? Now it's all rusted
You destroyed something beautiful and now it's ruined beyond repair


Did you have to hit me, where I'm weak? Baby, I couldn't breathe
You hurt me deeply in a place where I am vulnerable and it was hard for me to recover


And rub it in so deep, salt in the wound like you're laughing right at me
You mocked me while I was suffering and made things worse for me


'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood You know it used to be mad love So take a look what you've done
Our relationship has deteriorated and we're both angry and hurt because of what you did


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
We have serious issues that can't be fixed easily because of the serious harm you caused


Did you think we'd be fine? Still got scars on my back from your knife So don't think it's in the past, these kinda wounds they last and they last.
You thought everything would be okay, but the harm you caused left deep, lasting scars that can't be ignored


Now 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
You didn't think about the consequences of your actions, but they'll eventually catch up to you. Time might heal some wounds, but not this one, so stay away from me


Band-aids don't fix bullet holes You say sorry just for show If you live like that, you live with ghosts (ghosts)
Superficial apologies won't fix the deep harm you caused. If you don't take it seriously, you're living in the past and haunted by your mistakes


If you love like that blood runs cold
If you love in a way that's careless and harmful, you'll end up lonely and cold

i feel like this version is the sadder version. the original is the kind of version that is the anger phase of betrayal. this is the aftermath and it makes it all the more powerful

Personally, don't like this song, I don't like the style of music of Taylor Swift...
But you, you give a different 'touch', I love as it sounds. 
Good job, again!
