BAD HABITS Lyrics – ED SHEERAN

The lyrics of Ed Sheeran’s infectious pop song “Bad Habits” explore the struggle of being drawn to harmful vices and behaviors that you know aren’t good for you. Despite recognizing the negativity of these bad habits, there’s an irresistible allure that feels impossible to break free from. The lyrics veer from acknowledging the wreckage bad habits cause to almost glorifying their tempting grip, like a dangerous addiction. Sheeran captures the cyclical mindset of justifying and rationalizing why you return to patterns like drinking, smoking, toxic relationships or other addictions that ultimately only lead to feeling “lost”. Overall, “Bad Habits” dives into the complexity of human weaknesses with an eerily catchy vibe. Do read BAD HABITS Lyrics below.

[Intro]
(One, two, three, four)
Ooh, ooh[Verse 1]
Every time you come around, you know I can’t say no
Every time the sun goes down, I let you take control
I can feel the paradise before my world implodes
And tonight had something wonderful[Chorus]
My bad habits lead to late nights endin’ alone
Conversations with a stranger I barely know
Swearin’ this will be the last, but it probably won’t
I got nothin’ left to lose, or use, or do
My bad habits lead to wide eyes stare into space
And I know I lose control of the things that I say
Yeah, I was lookin’ for a way out, now I can’t escape
Nothin’ happens aftеr two, it’s true, it’s true
My bad habits lead to you

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
My bad habits lеad to you
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
My bad habits lead to you

[Verse 2]
Every pure intention ends when the good times start
Fallin’ over everything to reach the first time’s spark
It started under neon lights and then it all got dark
I only know how to go too far

[Chorus]
My bad habits lead to late nights endin’ alone
Conversations with a stranger I barely know

Swearin’ this will be the last, but it probably won’t
I got nothin’ left to lose, or use, or do
My bad habits lead to wide eyes stare into space
And I know I lose control of the things that I say
Yeah, I was lookin’ for a way out, now I can’t escape
Nothin’ happens after two, it’s true, it’s true
My bad habits lead to you

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
My bad habits lead to you
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
We took the long way ’round
Burned ’til the fun ran out, now
[Chorus]
My bad habits lead to late nights endin’ alone
Conversations with a stranger I barely know
Swearin’ this will be the last, but it probably won’t
I got nothin’ left to lose, or use, or do
My bad habits lead to wide eyes stare into space
And I know I lose control of the things that I say
Yeah, I was lookin’ for a way out, now I can’t escape
Nothin’ happens after two, it’s true, it’s true
My bad habits lead to you

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
My bad habits lead to you
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
My bad habits lead to you27
