bad for you

Deep in my heart,
I've got a sadness too sorry to mention.
I'll play the part
and be the boy who gets all the attention.
You've turned my world around,
shut me up and shot me down.
You did what you could,
did what you had to.
Do what you will,
I'll still be bad for you.

Deep in my mind,
there's an encryption I can't decipher.
I'll lay behind
and wait for the one I'd be willing to die for.
Tender lovers and their sins.
Tenor sax and violins.
You did what you could,
did what you had to.
Do what you will,
I'll still be bad for you.

Deep in my soul,
I don't know why but I've been searching for ages.
I'll play my role
and be the guy who says something outrageous.
Whether shocking or unreal,
this is just the way I feel.
You did what you could,
did what you had to.
Do what you will,
I'll still be bad for you.

You only did what you had to...
