Analysis of Bad things
I've done some bad things
You're top of that list
You led me down that path
A firm grip on my wrist
I know I let you take me
Down that crazy road unseen
But you went from warm and tender
To a monster dark and mean
And now I sit in limbo
Both in love and way out
Wishing hard for something
That I have no clue about
In need of some protection
So vulnerable and alone
No idea where I'm going
My heart turning to stone
