Lyrics

[Chorus] You can't separate what you need and what you want Bad love isn't better than none You try to simulate it, and you're always holding on But bad love isn't better than none [Verse 1] "So scared of being alone," she says, "when the beasts come out at night And at times it gets so cold" "It's so long that I've been on my own," she says, "it feels like my whole life And sometimes it gets so old" I tell her, "Try to have some patience, good things always seem to come To the souls who takes it slow" She tells me there's no point in waiting She has control [Chorus] You can't separate what you need and what you want Bad love isn't better than none You try to simulate it, and you're always holding on But bad love isn't better than none [Verse 2] I watch her as she tries to calculate and now she tries to imitate The things she hears about I offer her a helping hand, she chooses to stay on the ground She won't stop 'till she figures out What is fate? Because she wants one but loneliness drives her to the wrong one I say, "You'll see the winds are changing" She doesn't see she's rearranging She has control [Chorus] You can't separate what you need and what you want Bad love isn't better than none You try to simulate it, and you're always holding on But bad love isn't better than none [Bridge] Banging down the doors of anyone who listens Screaming out loud, "There must be more than this," and you Never find the end to your lonely nights 'Til you fill them with the space made for Mister Right You're so afraid of having nothing And you really don't believe that good love is a-coming All you see is doubt Say you'd rather have a bad love than go without [Chorus] You can't separate what you need and what you want Bad love isn't better than none You try to simulate it, and you're always holding on But bad love isn't better than none You can't separate what you need and what you want Bad love isn't better than none You try to simulate it, and you're always holding on But bad love isn't better than none
