Another Bad Love
Scandal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night is endless
No peace can be found
Another broken heart
Hits the ground

It's the same old story
A heart that won't be true
It's a twisted love of
Another bad love
Another bad love

You walk so slowly
All she does is cry
Guilt and pain
They both let their love die

It's a sad sad story
You've heard it all before
It's a twisted love of
Another bad love (bad love)
Another bad love (bad love)

Why did you lie
Why didn't you try
To understand
She's just a woman
Not an angel
And he's just a man

The night is endless
No peace can be found
Another broken heart
Hits the ground

It's the same old story
A heart that can't be true
It's a twisted love of
Another bad love
Another bad love

Another bad love
Another bad love
(Bad love)
(Bad love)




(Bad love)
(Bad love)
