BAD CHILD – English Lyrics

• By: TONES AND I

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

My family always said I was the bad child

Throwing me away into the bad pile

All my life been putting on a fake smile

Sitting on my own, feel like I'm exiled

Feeling like I always do the wrong things

Telling all their friends that I'm the bad kid

Now I'm on my own, I lost my magic

Dealing with your bullshit, now I'm over it

And you took a part of me

Left me with the memories, oh

We were never a family

Now you're standing in front of my door

Like none of this happened at all, all, all

I guess I'm always gonna be the bad child

I guess I'm always gonna be the mad child

'Cause you will never understand my weird mind

My weird mind

And to every single person here that doubts me

Telling me that they could live without me

'Cause they will never understand my weird mind

My weird mind

...

I've never really been the one to reach out

Acting like my life was squeaky clean now

Like everything I do is just a let down

Feeling like I always do the wrong things

Telling all their friends that I'm the bad kid

Now I'm on my own, I lost my magic

Dealing with your bullshit, now I'm over it

And you took a part of me

Left me with the memories, oh

We were never a family

Now you're standing in front of my door

Like none of this happened at all, all, all

I guess I'm always gonna be the bad child

I guess I'm always gonna be the mad child

'Cause you will never understand my weird mind

My weird mind

And to every single person here that doubts me

Telling me that they could live without me

'Cause they will never understand my weird mind

My weird mind

They say I've lost my mind

They say I'll never find it

I think they're kind of right

In fact I kind of like it

They say I've lost my mind

They say I'll never find it

I think they're kind of right

I guess I'm always gonna be the bad child

I guess I'm always gonna be the mad child

'Cause you will never understand my weird mind

My weird mind

And to every single person here that doubts me

Telling me that they could live without me

'Cause they will never understand my weird mind

My weird mind (oh)

...

My family always said I was the bad child

...
