Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I couldn't stand the smell of smoke
'Til he lit that cigarette
Never felt a temptation
'Til I smelled it on his breath
And the night we first kissed
On the balcony alone
Well, he tasted like trouble
But he felt like my own
[Chorus]
Bad habit
I can't be without
Oh, bad habit
Bittersweet on my mouth
We got a long, drawn-out story
I don't want to explain
I picked up a bad habit
And I'll never be the same
[Verse 2]
And even after all the love we made
All the records we spun
I was dying for more
Just trying to fill up my lungs
But I knew it right then
He could never love me back
Still, I told myself
I'd never feel anything quite like that
[Chorus]
Bad habit
I can't be without
Oh, bad habit
Bittersweet on my mouth
We got a long, drawn-out story
I don't want to explain
I picked up a bad habit
And I'll never be the same
[Bridge]
I'll light it up, breathe it in
Let it all go and I do it again
Light it up, breathe it in
I swear it almost feels like him
I remember what it felt like the first time
Ain't nothin' like the first time
[Outro]
Bad habit
I'm gonna put you out
Oh, bad habit
I will miss you on my mouth
But we had a long, drawn-out story
And it was bound to end someday
Oh, bad habit
Oh, bad habit
I'll never be the same
