Bad News (At the Best of Times) Lyrics by Maura O’Connell

Blue Is the Colour of Hope

0

[Verse 1]
Well I opened your last letter
Thinking things could only get better
But it was bad news at the best of times
Tap water dressed as tears
I know that trick through all of these years
But it was bad news at the best of times
Some things just cannot be expressed
And some bad things you do for the best
[Chorus]
It would have been bad news at the best of times
It would have been bad news at the best of times
Had my tongue in my cheek, yеah, when you were minе
It would have been bad news at the best of times
[Verse 2]
My eyes are tired of itching
Got me walking around the kitchen
It was been bad news at the best of times
Started coughing once too often
I can't stop 'til I don't think of you
It was been bad news at the best of times
What price for tomorrow's bride
Widowed when her daydream died?
[Chorus]
It would have been bad news at the best of times
Bad news at the best of times
I used to wake up laughing, yeah, when you were mine
It would have been bad news at the best of times
[Bridge]
Baby baby, oh you're leaving me just one more time
I've never asked you to before
Now I'm as guilty as the day that I was born
Begging you, pleading you
Loving you and needing you
[Verse 3]
When things go this wrong
Next time I'd be so strong
It was bad news at the best of times
Driving backwards in a hearse
Thinking things couldn't get no worse
Shoulda been bad news at the best of times
The camera never lies baby, that's for sure
But you're a sight for these eyes so sore
[Chorus]
Would have been bad news at the best of times
It would have been bad news at the best of times
Stronger than memories when you were mine
Would have been bad news at the best of times
[Outro]
(Bad news) Feels like everything I do
(Bad news) Just seems to be a memory of you
(Bad news) Every morning and night
(Bad news) Oh at the best of times
