BAD INTENTIONS

Intro You don't look like a mistake. You look premeditated.

Verse 1 You took the empty stool and left one in between Like distance ever stopped a bad idea from breathing Didn't ask my name, didn't offer yours Just let the whole damn room turn into background noise You said, "This ends badly." I said, "Probably true." You smiled like that was the best thing I'd said to you No promises hanging, no future to defend Just two grown people watching exactly where this ends

Pre-Chorus If you came looking for good judgment Wrong table Wrong night

Chorus Bad intentions No disguise You got trouble in your smile I got none left in my eyes Bad intentions No innocent goodbye I don't want your number I want your alibi We ain't falling in love We're leaving fingerprints Call it whatever you want, darling — We came with bad intentions

Post-Chorus Bad intentions.

Verse 2 You moved one stool closer without moving fast Like somebody who already knew better than to ask I said, "You always this calm when a room catches fire?" You said, "Only when I'm standing next to the lighter." That got a laugh out of me no good man should give You had the kind of honesty that never ends well No damsel, no rescue, no lie about fate Just two bad decisions showing up early for the same damn date

Pre-Chorus We could still walk away Neither one moves

Chorus Bad intentions No disguise You got trouble in your smile I got none left in my eyes Bad intentions No innocent goodbye I don't want your number I want your alibi We ain't falling in love We're leaving fingerprints Call it whatever you want, darling — We came with bad intentions

Bridge Here's the lie people tell tomorrow: "It just happened." No. It happened slow enough to stop Clear enough to name We watched every exit stay exactly where it was And neither one of us moved an inch So don't blame the night The night was minding its business

Final Chorus Bad intentions Still no disguise You know exactly what this is So do I Bad intentions No morning-after lie Keep your number, darling I already got the alibi We ain't calling this forever We ain't calling it a sin We just quit pretending We were trying not to give in No promises No innocence No accident Just bad intentions

Outro Heads, we leave. Tails, we leave. We both lied.
