Lyrics
Best Bad Idea I Ever Had
V1
I saw the warning label in your eyes
Fine print truth dressed up as a lie
The room went quiet when you walked in
Like something ending before it begins
V2
My friends spoke caution like a prayer
I smiled back like I wasn’t there
I nodded slow like I understood
Already gone. Already would
Pre1
If I already knew how this would end
Why did I reach for your hand again
If the truth was standing in plain view
Why did I lean in closer to you
Chorus
You’re the best bad idea I ever had
Knew the price. Still paid it glad
Left me changed. Left me bad
You’re the best bad idea I ever had
________________________________________
V3
You felt like fire in borrowed time
Every touch crossed a private line
We didn’t rush. We didn’t stall
We stepped straight through the warning call
V4
I called it timing. Called it chance
Anything but a conscious stance
I dressed it up as destiny
So I wouldn’t say I chose it freely
V5
We burned like thieves with nowhere to go
Stealing hours we couldn’t own
Laughing loud at closing doors
Swearing we’d outrun the score
Pre2
If the fall was written from the start
Why did I bet my better part
If loss was baked into the deal
Why did it all still feel so real
Chorus
You’re the best bad idea I ever had
Knew the price. Still paid it glad
Left me changed. Left me bad
You’re the best bad idea I ever had
________________________________________
V6
Then came the nights I couldn’t sleep
Counting debts I couldn’t keep
Every silence said your name
Every mirror took the blame
V7
Your name still rattles when it’s quiet
Like a truth that won’t stay silent
I hear it most when I stand still
That low regret with teeth and will
V8
I learned regret ain’t just regret
It’s the interest on a choice you met
It compounds slow. It collects due
Long after you swear you’re through
Pre3
If wisdom comes from losing ground
Is this what finding out’s about
If knowing costs more than it seems
Is this the fee they never mean
Chorus
You’re the best bad idea I ever had
Knew the price. Still paid it glad
Left me changed. Left me bad
You’re the best bad idea I ever had
________________________________________
V9
I walk straighter now. Less excuse
I don’t confuse the spark for truth
I read the room. I count the cost
I know what’s real. I know what’s lost
V10
I don’t reach fast. I don’t pretend
Some doors close better than they mend
Some fires teach by burning clean
Not every want is what it seems
Pre4
If growth needs proof you paid it real
Is this the mark you’re meant to feel
If strength is earned by what you face
Is this the scar time couldn’t erase
Chorus
You’re the best bad idea I ever had
Knew the price. Still paid it glad
Left me changed. Left me bad
You’re the best bad idea I ever had
________________________________________
V11
I won’t rewrite you as a sin
You were the cut that let truth in
Not a savior. Not a crime
Just the wrong door at the right time
V12
I don’t advise it. I don’t deny
Some roads exist just to clarify
You don’t walk them to arrive
You walk them just to feel alive
Pre5
If I stood back at that first door
Would I be who I am anymore
If I chose safe instead of brave
Who would I be today
Chorus
You’re the best bad idea I ever had
Knew the price. Still paid it glad
Left me changed. Left me bad
You’re the best bad idea I ever had
________________________________________
V13
I don’t regret you. I regret pretending
Some lessons teach by never ending
I own the choice. I own the weight
I’m not ashamed of what it took
Bridge
I won’t romanticize the pain
But I won’t lie and call it vain
You didn’t save me. Didn’t stay
You just showed me how I pay
Chorus (Extended)
You’re the best bad idea I ever had
Knew the price. Still paid it glad
Left me changed. Left me bad
You’re the best bad idea I ever had
Would I do it again if I had the chance
Outro
Yeah. I would.
And now I know exactly who I am.
