Verse 1] I know it hurts that we don't touch anymore It's even worse because we built this from the floor It's just as hard for me to know I might see you 'round It's just as hard for me to worry 'bout reachin' out [Pre-Chorus] The more I think about you, the more I keep the ghost alive Yeah, the more I think about you, the more I keep the ghost alive [Chorus] I want you bad, but it's done I'm bleeding out, 'cause we can't go on I want you bad, till I shake I want what we had, but what's broken don't unbreak [Verse 2] Just when I'm ready to get over you, you call me up And then I crumble when you say you're getting over us [Pre-Chorus] But the more I think about you, the more I keep the ghost alive Yeah, the more that I'm without you, the less I know if I was right [Chorus] I want you bad, but it's done I'm bleeding out, 'cause we can't go on I want you bad, till I shake I want what we had, but what's broken don't unbreak [Bridge] And I won't tell you what I want to What I want to I'm falling through, I can't hide it But I learn to [Chorus] I want you bad, but it's done I'm bleeding out, 'cause we can't go on I want you bad, till I shake I want what we had, but what's broken don't unbreak [Outro] I want you bad, but it's done I want you bad, but we can't go on
l love this kind of music style from James Bay. It reminded me "chaos and the calm", the best album ever. So pure, and can feel his emotions when he is performing.
I take this song a little differently. It reminds me of my girlfriend who passed away last year, the only way she can call me up is in my dreams and that’s the only way I can keep her ghost alive. I want her bad. Sadly it’s over & it wasn’t a break up, there’s no happy endings, no love story, no kids just a black void that will always weigh upon my shoulders. I miss you baby ❤️
So sorry for you🥺🥹 your beautiful interpretation keeps her memory alive, and if music can help you in your sorrow that's all that matters... one Day you will hear another song and it will bring you new interpretations to be happy ❤️🩹💓✨️
I am just in love with this song..Brilliantly written. Since it was released, I keep listening and sharing with friends. Keep it coming James, even the saddest songs make me so happy cause they explain my feelings so well as If I write them on my own.
Just amazing, incredible, I've run out of words to describe this man, every single song he releases, every single day I'm waiting for the acoustic version, perfect.
I don't think I'll ever forget seeing him live, and him coming out for his encore with just him and his guitar, and singing a (then unreleased) song that felt like the saddest thing I'd ever heard. Easily the best show I have ever been to, and way better live than recorded.
Just imagine. This is a live performance. Voice is so pure. So am I to understand that when he wakes up in the morning first thing, he can sing like this? I wanna be his upstairs neighbor. So that when he sings in the kitchen or bathroom .... God bless your voice.
Oh my WORD!!!!!!!!! Where have you been all my life?????? His voice 😳😳😳😳😍😍😍😍 I feel it in my soul, every song gives me goose bumps and an ache in my heart. Thank goodness for RU-vid, otherwise we wouldn’t be sharing these amazing songs. ❤️
Absoulty love this song and the new EP.. I love how it embraces both chaos and the clam vibes and pink lemonade vibes!!! Can't wait till he tours again
One day it won't hurt me anymore. One day I won't want what we had anymore. One day I will still want you bad but I will understand that what its in the past is in the past. "what it's broken don't unbreak"
Wonderful video. Being yours fan, I learned from the pain and distance that fans love is so much more than words can say. Whenever I hear you singing BAD I want to run to you and hold you.👏👏👏👏❤❤❤
Uhhhh, somebody got himself a telly custom there... That's what I love about James. He can take up a guitar and sing and it's amazing. He knows how to perform without a band in his back and that's what a real good musician should be able to!
