​i could have been worse lyrics

[Intro]
Don't let

[Verse 1]
I could have dragged your name through the mud
'Cause you did everything that you could
Made it impossible
To like you, in the end kept my mouth shut
I'm trying to be a good person

[Pre-Chorus]
I didn't say
All the things you did
I kept you safe
Protected your name
But maybe I let a little slip

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm bad
But I could've been worse
Maybe we should look on the bright side
'Cause I held back
You'll get what you deserve
If I really wanted to, baby I could ruin you
Bad, but I could've been worse
I really could've been worse
[Verse 2]
I've been professional
You wouldn't know her, she's like, not from around here
Discretional
I don't like to talk sh*t, but I can't keep a secret forever (forever)
And ever (and ever)
But at some point it's gonna come out
You can do better
Let's say it together
What goes around comes back around

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm bad
But I could've been worse
Maybe we should look on the bright side
'Cause I held back
You'll get what you deserve
If I really wanted to, baby I could ruin you
Bad, but I could've been worse
I really could've been worse

[Outro]
You should count your lucky stars
I don't like taking it too far
Oh, there's no point in holding on
Life got so good when you were gone
You should thank your lucky stars
I don't like taking it too far
If I did what I really want
I'd hit you with my f*cking car
You should count your lucky stars
I don't like taking it too far
Oh, there's no point in holding on
Life got so good when you were gone
You should thank your lucky stars
I don't like taking it too far
If I did what I really want
I'd hit you with my f*cking car
