Bad Example by Joey Origami Lyrics
[Intro]
Hurting others in the process
Treating them like objects
It's toxic, But I got to
'Cause I'm still waiting for you
Though you told me not to
It should be simple to get over
But you not anybody...
[Verse 1]
Hopeless romantic but trying not to panic
My priorities fucked up I'm such a bad example
I've been escaping reality in pussy
Because the fall won't ever hurt if you got cushion
You won't find if you're way too busy looking
I'm a hypocrite though
Since I've been looking for somebody like you
Knowing I can never land another
My mind and heart always arguing
They can't get along because they can't understand each other
Chasing women who duck me
Afraid of the ones who love me
Hardly trust myself enough to convince someone else to trust me
I'm a real nice guy
They just caught me at the wrong time
Tripping off somebody I can't have, for a long time
Hurting others in the process
Treating them like objects
It's toxic, But I got to
'Cause I'm still waiting for you
Though you told me not to
It should be simple to get over
But you not anybody and they not you
[Hook]
I never thought I'd be so conflicted
I got good intentions though
But make bad decisions (-cisions)
I never thought I'd be so conflicted
I got good intentions though
But make bad decisions (-cisions)
[Verse 2]
Ruined a friendship but trying not to panic
My priorities fucked up I'm such a bad example
I don't think I'm depressed
I just think I'm obsessed
And me not getting who I want feels like a knife through the chest
I even asked God about it
Haven't got an answer though
Sick of feeling sick of shit
I really need an antidote
I really could use a text from you
Never would've guessed that wanting more of you would get me less of you
You're better for me than vegetables
You're on a pedestal
But I digress
I apologize if I ever brought you stress
Those were not intentions
Should've continued pretending
At least you'd still be around
But I went swinging for fences and striking out
Hurting others in the process
Treating them like objects
It's toxic, But I got to
'Cause I'm still waiting for you
Though you told me not to
It should be simple to get over
But you not anybody and they not you
[Hook]
I never thought I'd be so conflicted
I got good intentions though
But make bad decisions (-cisions)
I never thought I'd be so conflicted
I got good intentions though
But make bad decisions (-cisions)
[Outro]
Hurting others in the process
Treating them like objects
It's toxic, But I got to
'Cause I'm still waiting for you
Though you told me not to
It should be simple to get over
But you not anybody and they not you
Hurting others in the process
Treating them like objects
It's toxic, But I got to
'Cause I'm still waiting for you
Though you told me not to
It should be simple to get over
But you not anybody...
