Revival

Bad Husband (Feat. X Ambassadors)

공유하기
We never saw
from each other's sides,
or eye to eye
Just eye for eye, lie for lie,
fight or flight
So much baggage,
need a luggage rack
But we carry on
with our public spats
and our feuds
Up back in the news, love taps
when I dissed you
Like it was fun, actually used
to run back to the booth
Jump back in the studio,
give you a tongue lashing,
then you
Laughed at the stomach tat
with the tomb stone
It was funny back in our youth
But then it wasn't after we knew
That we were done
and actually through
(and actually through)
But if there's
one fraction of truth
If it could be spun back
I would do
So many things different
(things different)
'Cause it was such
a dumbass excuse
You hit me once
and that I would use
To continue the pattern of abuse
Why did I punch back?
Girls, your dad is a scumbag,
I'm confused
Because

How come you can be
a Lord and a loser?
How come, how come,
you can be a liar
and a good father?
A good dad, but a bad husband
Why are you a good father?
A great dad, but a bad husband

You were the beat
I loved with a writer's block
The line that's hot,
that I forgot
We laughed a little, cried a lot
I'll never forget
when you came home
and you held Hailie
Day before you went
to jail and daily
How we'd wait for
that mail lady
Or by the phone for mom to call
And I watched
you pull yourself up
and we decided on
Givin' it
one more try despite it all
You're my lightning rod
when my sky gets dark
I'm your shiny rocks in
that tiny box
When we tied the knot,
when we broke the knot
Every line we crossed
we were supposed to not
Every time we fought,
the insults, they got,
thrown too far
Words that we said
that we didn't mean
The words that we meant
that we didn't say
The ones that we thought
that we shoulda said
Letters written
that we coulda read
Which maybe woulda
lead to some good instead
And had this put to bed
But I'd be lyin' still
if I said I wasn't
sittin' here askin' myself

How come you can be
a Lord and a loser?
How come, how come,
you can be a liar
and a good father?
A good dad, but a bad husband
Why are you a good father?
A great dad,
but a bad husband
(Dad) (you said)
Forever be a hero
in my eyes (I reply)
But there's always
another side to a good father
A great dad, but a bad husband

We brought out the worst
in each other
Someone had to make
the sparring end
'Cause I loved you,
but I hated that me
And I don't wanna see
that side again
But I'm sorry, Kim
More than you could
ever comprehend
Leavin' you was
fuckin' harder than
Sawing off a fuckin' body limb
Once upon a time
where all we had
Maybe that's what drew us
To each other,
it was true love
Shit, we never knew was possible
We might have
loved each other too much
And maybe that's what
made us do what
We did to each other,
all the screw-ups
'Cause you always
thought that you was
More in love with me
And I was thinkin'
I was more in love than you was
For all the times
that we thought it worked
'Til we saw how wrong we were
When the dust settles now
and all the dirt
If I touch the rawest nerve
All I want is for us not to hurt
And it's been
an exhaustive search
to find the words
But I just heard "Mockingbird"
And got the urge
to jot some verses and thoughts
The purpose was not
to stir up or open wounds
I've caused a few and so have you
Or argue whose fault it was
Partly yours, partly mine,
but really no one's
This is so tough,
I'm gettin' choked up
Oh fuck it, we both suck
We broke up, got back together
We both thought we had forever
Not bad people, just bad together
We were so nuts,
backstabbed each other
Another blow struck,
but there's no duckin' this blow
'Cause it's over and it's closure
But I'm not so sure
how to close this
I just don't know
how some people
can be so good
At one thing and so fucked
at a whole nother
Shit, it's no wonder

How come, how come,
you can be a Lord and a loser?
How come, how come,
you can be a liar
and a good father?
A good dad, but a bad husband
Why are you a good father?
A great dad, but a bad husband
(Dad) (you said)
Forever be a hero
in my eyes (I reply)
But there's always another side
to a good father
A great dad, but a bad husband
