Bad Things
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Bad things happen to the people you love
And you find yourself praying the heaven above
But honestly I've never had much sympathy
'Cause those bad things always saw them coming for me
I'm gonna run, run away, run, run away, run away
Run away and never come back
Run, run away, run, run away, run away show 'em which color is black
Bad things happen to the people you love
And you find yourself praying the heaven above
But honestly I've never had much sympathy
'Cause those bad things always saw them coming for me
It would take some time too just to see me shine
For the whole world to see me here with all of my light
But honestly I've given up on all the fights
So that then one day I'll have you all wrapped in my light
I'm gonna run, run away, run, run away, run away, run away
And never come back
Run, run away, run, run away, run away show 'em which color is black
I'm gonna run, run away, run, run away, run away, run away
And never come back
Run, run away run, run away, run away show 'em which color is black
Bad things happen to the people you love
And you find yourself praying the heaven above
But honestly I've never had much sympathy
'Cause those bad things always saw them coming for me
Bad things happen to the people you love
And you find yourself praying the heaven above
But honestly I've never had much sympathy
'Cause those bad things always saw them coming for me
