Lyrics
You said we were good
That was the first lie
Same room, cold air, both of us dressed calm
Hands in my pockets just to keep them off the alarm
You say my name like it never held weight
Like we didn’t build a bridge just to burn it in place
I got a smile with a locked jaw under it
Talk real soft with a hard stop under it
Every little word got a blade in the back
Every little pause got a train off track
We don’t fight, no, we just reload
Say less, breathe slow, watch the teeth show
Old friend, new scar, same old place
I can’t even hate you without seeing your face
I tried to let it go
But it came back mean
Now every time you speak
It gets under me
Bad blood
Between you and me
Bad blood
Now it talks when I breathe
I can wash my hands
I can change my name
But it burns back through
Every time you say my name
Bad blood
Yeah, we made it deep
Bad blood
Now it wakes when I sleep
You can call it done
You can call it clean
But it still bites down
When I try to breathe
Still moving in me
Still moving in me
Bad blood
Still moving in me
You kept your side clean, left mine in the mud
Turned every truth to a version that you loved
Now I walk in rooms with my guard up first
Like a kind word coming is a new kind of curse
I learned real quick how the rot gets passed
One bad cut and the whole thing lasts
Not in the veins like a sickness from birth
But in the way I flinch when I hear your words
You made me harder, I hate that most
Made me shake hands like I’m holding a ghost
Now I see your shadow in people I trust
And I hate myself when I sound like us
I tried to let it go
But it learned my name
Now every time I heal
It opens the same
Bad blood
Between you and me
Bad blood
Now it talks when I breathe
I can wash my hands
I can change my name
But it burns back through
Every time you say my name
Bad blood
Yeah, we made it deep
Bad blood
Now it wakes when I sleep
You can call it done
You can call it clean
But it still bites down
When I try to breathe
I don’t miss you
I miss who I was
Before every nerve
Had a reason to judge
I don’t hate you
I hate what stayed
The way your voice
Got inside my veins
I cut the cord
But it left a thread
I closed the door
But it learned my head
I said it’s over
I said I’m free
Then why does your damage
Still answer for me?
Get out of my mouth
Get out of my sleep
Get out of the part of me
Trying to breathe
Get out of my chest
Get out of my teeth
Get out of the blood
You left in me
Bad blood
Between you and me
Bad blood
Now it talks when I breathe
I can wash my hands
I can change my name
But it burns back through
Every time you say my name
Bad blood
Yeah, we made it deep
Bad blood
Now it wakes when I sleep
You can call it done
You can call it clean
But it still bites down
When I try to breathe
You said we were good
That was the first lie
Bad blood
Still moving in me
