Bad Before Good Lyrics by Day One

Probably Art

0

Gotta get bad before it gets good
Its gotta get bad before it gets good
Its gotta get bad before it gets good
I want good now
But it's gotta get bad before it gets good
That's what you say
Its gotta get bad before it gets good
You say stick with me
You know that you should
'Cause its gotta get bad before it gets good

You say you trust me
But just me
Put your faith in me
Then wait patiently

Keep on telling me lies
I'll believe you, believe you
Keep on telling me lies
Like I need you, I need you

You say it's hard now
But good things come from this
So I'll keep on living on your promises

Gotta get bad before it gets good
Its gotta get bad before it gets good
Its gotta get bad before it gets good
I want good now
But it's gotta get bad before it gets good
That's what you say
Its gotta get bad before it gets good
You say stick with me
You know that you should
'Cause its gotta get bad before it gets good

What you used to say
You used to do
If you told me something
I'd know it was true

See, there was a time
I could believe you, believe you
But this time
I could see through, could see through

I used to trust
Before I knew
There was a difference
Between what you say and what you do

Gotta get bad before it gets good
Its gotta get bad before it gets good
Its gotta get bad before it gets good
I want good now
But it's gotta get bad before it gets good
That's what you say
Its gotta get bad before it gets good
You say stick with me
You know that you should
'Cause its gotta get bad before it gets good

You tell me lies
But you do it with style
Saying 'it'll come good
In a little while

You keep on spining your words
That beguile
Then you break your promises
With a film star smile

You say (x5)
But What do you do?
What do you do?

You say (x5)
But What do you do?
What do you do?

Don't care what you say
Just show me what you do
Show me what you do
