Bad Blood
Taylor Swift琀 Lyrics

'Cause baby now we got bad blood
Our relationship is now filled with animosity and hostility

You know it used to be mad love
We used to have a strong and passionate love

So take a look at what you've done
Reflect on your actions and the consequences that resulted

Hey! I can't take it back, look where I'm at
I can't undo the past, and now look at the position we are in

We was OG like D.O.C., remember that?
We were original gangsters like D.O.C., don't forget our roots

My TLC was quite OD, ID my facts
My tender love and care was excessive, identify the truth

Now POV of you and me, similar Iraq
Now my point of view of our relationship is akin to the warfare in Iraq

I don't hate you, but I hate to critique, overrate you
I don't despise you, but I dislike having to criticize and overvalue you

These beats of a dark heart, use basslines to replace you
The beats of my cold and bitter heart use basslines to substitute for you

Take time and erase you, love don't hear no more
I'll take my time and erase you from my life, because love no longer exists

Better yet, respect ain't quite sincere no more
Even better, the respect we once had for each other is no longer genuine

Oh, it's so sad to think about the good times, you and I
It brings me sadness to reminisce about the happy moments we shared

Now we've got problems, and I don't think we can solve 'em
Our relationship is now fraught with issues, and I don't believe we can resolve them

You made a really deep cut, and baby, now we've got bad blood, hey!
Your actions inflicted significant damage on our relationship, and now we hold resentment towards each other

Remember when you tried to write me off?
Do you recall when you attempted to dismiss me as unimportant?

Remember when you thought I'd take a loss?
Remember when you believed I would suffer a defeat?

Don't you remember? You thought that I would need ya
Don't you remember how you thought that I couldn't function without you?

Follow procedure, remember? Oh, wait, you got amnesia
Adhere to the proper protocol, remember? Oh wait, you conveniently forgot

It was my season for battle wounds, battle scars, body bumped, bruised
It was the period of my life where I experienced injuries, scars, and physical pain

Stabbed in the back; brimstone, fire jumping through
Betrayed and hurt, feeling as if I'm burning in fiery flames

Still, all my life, I got money and power
Despite all the pain, throughout my life I obtained financial stability and influence

And you gotta live with the bad blood now
You have to accept that the tension between us will exist from now on

Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes
Small remedies won't fix significant problems

You say sorry just for show
Your apologies are insincere and lacking true remorse

You live like that, you live with ghosts
If you continue to live this way, you'll be haunted by your mistakes and negative energy

(You forgive, you forget, but you never let it go)
(You may forgive and forget, but you'll never truly move on)

If you love like that, blood runs cold
If you love with insincerity and selfishness, your heart will turn cold
