Bad Desire

(Jim Melko, L.B. Fred, and James Patrick Dunne)

 

 

Verse 1

My name is Matt and my story's hard to tell

I threw away my heaven and there's no peace in hell

I had a wife, a solid job, and a baby on the way

I didn't think I was in jail until I needed to escape

 

I met her in a bar room in the middle of the day

Work was too much pressure and my bills were in the way

Like a secret lover she soothed away my cares

Oh, how I wish I'd never taken comfort there 

 

Chorus

She was smooth and cool but she burned in me like fire

I let her tear my life apart, she was a bad desire

 

Verse 2

I started coming home late, reeking of her scent

Anything my wife would say would start an argument

It fell apart one screaming night, I didn't even watch her go

I just turned back to my mistress, whiskey smooth and slow

 

Repeat Chorus

 

Bridge

The next three days, I can't recall a thing

Somewhere I lost the diamond from my wedding ring

One night I looked deep in my bloodshot eyes

I take it day by day since then, but I take it staying dry

 

Repeat Chorus
