Bad Decisions
Moxie Raia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People die for the things that I love and I love you
I love you
We say we try but it wasn't enough but I miss you
I miss you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Whenever the sun shine after the rain
There ain't a pleasure in the pain
I make bad decisions that I'm payin' for
It can be lonely chasin' a dream
Nobody knows you truthfully
I make bad decisions and I make some more
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh, oh, oh

People die for the things that I love and I love you
I love you
We actin' life we got nothin' to lose but it's not true
It's not true
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Whenever the sun shine after the rain
There ain't a pleasure in the pain
I make bad decisions that I'm payin' for
It can be lonely chasin' a dream
Nobody knows you truthfully
I make bad decisions and I make some more
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oooh, oh, oh

People die for the things that I love and I love you
I love you
We say we try but it wasn't enough I miss you

People die for the things that they love
Would you die for me?
Would you sacrifice yours to the skies above?
Would you fly for me?
Leave me stranded, would you ride for me?
This here is my sincere apology
I know I make some bad decisions
Just hope I'm forgivin'
Cause shorty I miss you
I need to bleed so I can feel alive
And please believe that's how I feel inside
(?) that's my overdose
Life's only as good as your bad decisions, oh-oh




Life's only as good as your bad decisions, oh-oh
Life's only as good as your bad decisions
