[Verse 1]
You called me once
Then let it ring
I stared at my phone
Like it meant everything
Your last text sat there
Cold on the screen
I kept my cool
But you know what I mean
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to play it off
Tried to let it slide
But my chest went tight
And I could not lie
[Chorus]
How bad is it?
How bad is it?
Tell me straight, babe
How bad is it? (how bad is it?)
If I’m honest now
I’m losing sleep
How bad is it?
How bad is it?
[Verse 2]
I walked past your place
Saw the porch light on
The whole front yard
Looked like something was gone
I laughed too loud
At a stupid joke
But my hands shook hard
When I lit that smoke
[Pre-Chorus]
I said I’m fine
I said I’m good
But the words kept slipping
Like I knew they would
[Chorus]
How bad is it?
How bad is it?
Tell me straight, babe
How bad is it? (how bad is it?)
If I’m honest now
I’m losing sleep
How bad is it?
How bad is it?
[Bridge]
Don’t dress it up
Don’t make me guess
If it’s over, say it
If it’s love, say less
My heart’s on the table
Face down, bare
I need the truth
Not a half-said prayer
[Chorus]
How bad is it?
How bad is it?
Tell me straight, babe
How bad is it? (how bad is it?)
If I’m honest now
I’m losing sleep
How bad is it?
How bad is it? (how bad is it)
