If It Wasn't for Bad
Unveiling the Bittersweet Symphony of Love and Deception
Lyrics
I knew from the first night I met you
I had an intuition about you from our first meeting.
Something just wasn't quite right
Sensed that something was off or not quite right.
Loving like an innocent stranger
Our love appeared pure and unfamiliar, like that of strangers.
But somethin' was just out of sight
However, there was an element hidden from my view.
How could I know that you abused me
Realized that you mistreated or took advantage of me.
Fill out some plan of your own
Executed a plan or agenda without my awareness.
I couldn't know you'd abuse me
I couldn't anticipate the harm you would cause.
Leave me here hurt and alone
Left me wounded and isolated.
If it wasn't for you I'd be happy
Expressing that my happiness is compromised because of you.
If it wasn't for lies you'd be true
If it weren't for your deceit, you could be trustworthy.
I know that you could be just like you should
Believing that you have the potential to be genuine.
If it wasn't for bad you'd be good
Highlighting that your negative actions overshadow your goodness.
I only saw what I wanted to see
I perceived only what I wanted to see, an idealized image of you.
You were a dream in my mind
You existed as a perfect vision in my imagination.
I'll never know how you really could be
Unable to comprehend your true nature.
It didn't take long for me to find
Discovering the reality about you didn't take long.
I guess that it's my fault for seeing
Accepting responsibility for seeing only what I wanted.
Only what I wanted to see
My perception was limited to my desires.
I couldn't know you were being
Unaware that you were playing a role, acting for my benefit.
A player just acting for me
You were a player, not genuine in your actions toward me.
If it wasn't for you I'd be happy
Reiterating that your presence denies my happiness.
If it wasn't for lies you'd be true
If not for the lies, you could embody truthfulness.
I know you could be just like you should
Believing in your potential to be the person you should be.
If it wasn't for bad you'd be good
Emphasizing that your negative traits hinder your goodness.
I knew from the first night I met you
Repeating the initial realization about your unsettling nature.
Something just wasn't quite right
Feeling that something was amiss from the start.
Loving like an innocent stranger
Describing our love as innocent but with an obscured element.
But something was just out of sight
Reiterating the feeling that something was hidden from view.
If it wasn't for you I'd be happy
Stating once again that your presence hinders my happiness.
If it wasn't for lies you'd be true
Highlighting the impact of lies on your ability to be truthful.
I know you could be just like you should
Believing in your potential to be the person you should be.
If it wasn't for bad you'd be good
Emphasizing that your negative traits hinder your goodness.
If it wasn't for bad you'd be good
Repeating the idea that without the negative, you could be good.
