Meghan Trainor Bad For Me

Trainor wrote “Bad for Me” with Ajay Bhattacharyya and Stephen Wrabel, strangers to her at the time, about a personal situation she experienced. She stated: “Toxic relationships can be in your family and you can step away from them and it sucks. But it’s doable.” That night, Daryl Sabara suggested that the song is the right one for Trainor to record as a duet with Swims, who she had wished to collaborate with for a long time. Swims, friends with Bhattacharyya and Wrabel, responded to the proposition: “I would be honored to be part of this”, and they recorded it in Trainor’s home studio the following week.

Lyrics

[Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
Please don’t make promises that you can’t keep
Your best intentions end up hurting me
No matter what, I’ll love you endlessly
I know we’re blood, but this love is bad for me

[Verse 1: Meghan Trainor]
I can’t tell you what I wanna say
‘Cause I, I’m afraid that you won’t change
Sometimes, I just wanna scream in your face
But when you’re in pain, I just walk away

[Pre-Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
And my, my therapist told me to write you a letter, mmm
She said if I did, it would make me feel better
But it wouldn’t do shit even if I sent it
‘Cause you won’t get it, you’re too damn selfish, mmm

[Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
Please don’t make promises that you can’t keep
Your best intentions end up hurting me
No matter what, I’ll love you endlessly
But I gotta run, I gotta run from your reality
I know we’re blood, but this love is bad for me

[Verse 2: Teddy Swims]
Damn, it’s hard for me to let go
From someone I held so close, mmm
Damn, it’s hard for me to draw that line
And leave you on the other side

[Pre-Chorus: Teddy Swims, Meghan Trainor, Both]
But my, my therapist told me to write you a letter, mmm
She said if I did, it would make me feel better, oh
But it wouldn’t do shit even if I sent it
‘Cause you won’t get it, you’re too damn selfish, oh

[Chorus: Meghan Trainor & Teddy Swims]
Please don’t make promises that you can’t keep
Your best intentions end up hurting me
No matter what, I’ll love you endlessly
But I gotta run, I gotta run from your reality
I know we’re blood, but this love is bad for me

[Bridge: Meghan Trainor, Teddy Swims, Both]
And when you lie (And when you lie)
There’s a part of you that dies
That I’m left with (I’m left with)
It gets hectic (It gets hectic)
When you lie (And when you lie)
I wonder why I try
But you can’t help it, you’re too damn selfish, mmm

[Chorus: Meghan Trainor, Meghan Trainor & Teddy Swims]
Please don’t make promises that you can’t keep
‘Cause your best intentions end up hurting me
No matter what, I’ll love you endlessly
But I gotta run, I gotta run from your reality
I know we’re blood, but this love is bad for me
I know we’re blood, but this love is bad for me
