Seldom do I tell you That I need you in the way that I do Pretended we were opposites But it's not the truth of it I denied you Physical and feminine These are just the words that we use They don't mean a thing When I got the blues I feel The bad blood rising It's real Like I'm somebody else I ran to California Felt the water at my feet But I still got a dark side of me Sippy cup adrenaline Tryin' to make the skeleton move I treat myself like firewood Even though I knew I could Learn to adore you With me like a shadow But I always had to hide it away But then I let it grow Too big for the cage I feel The bad blood rising It's real Like I'm somebody else I know I can't afford to let this overtake me But I still got a dark side I feel The bad blood rising It's real Like I'm somebody else I always tried to warn you there are casualties 'Cause I still got a dark side of me I still got a dark side of me
