Bad Love

White Lies · Ritual [2011]

I was waiting in the back-seat of the car

When I knew I'd given up

Down one of the back-streets by the park

So sick of the taste of blood



I'm gonna write your girl a letter

It'll make everything better



Screaming down the phone-line to your mum

She said 'Honey ain't home right now'

I bought a tuxedo and I bought a gun

And wore them all around this town



Nobody dares to lift a finger

They can see my heart is down and injured



If I'm guilty of anything

It's loving you too much

Honey, sometimes love

Means getting a little rough



This is not bad love

This is not bad love



I've been going to church but I don't believe

I'll ever be clear this pain

Walk like a ghost through the streets

Soaked from the pouring rain



And I won't ask your God for mercy

My spirit is low, my soul is dirty



If I'm guilty of anything

It's loving you too much

Honey, sometimes love

Means getting a little rough

This is not bad love

This is not bad love [3x]
