Taylor Swift
Lyrics to "Down Bad" from Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department album leaked the night before its release. See the "Down Bad" song lyrics from Track 4 below.
Did you really beam me up?
In a cloud of sparkling dust
Just to do experiments on
Tell me I was the chosen one
Showed me this world is bigger than us
Then sent me back where I came from
For a moment I knew cosmic love

Now I’m down bad, crying at the gym
Everything comes out teenage petulance
F—k it if I cant have him.
I might just die it would make no difference.
Down bad waking up in blood
Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up
F—k it if I cant have us
I might not just get up, I might stay down bad
F—k it if I cant have him
Down bad
F—k it if I cant have him
Did you take all my old clothes
Just to leave me here naked and alone
In a field in my same old town
That somehow seems so hollow now
They’ll say I'm nuts if I talk about the existence of you
For a moment I was heaven struck

Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym
Everything comes out teenage petulance
F—k it if I can’t have him.
I might just die it would make no difference
Down bad waking up in blood
Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up
F—k it if I cant have us
I might just not get up,
I might stay down bad
Like I lost my twin
F—k it if I cant have him, down bad
Down bad, waving at the ship
F—k it if I cant have him.
I loved your hostile takeovers
Encounters closer and closer
All your indecent exposures
How you dare you say that it’s…

I build you a fort on some planet
Where they can all understand it
How dare you think its romantic
Leaving me safe and stranded
'Cause f—k it I was in love
So f—k you if I cant have us
'Cause f—k it I was in love
Now I’m down bad, crying at the gym
Everything comes out teenage petulance
F—k it if I cant have him.
I might just die it would make no difference.
Down bad, waking up in blood
Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up
F—k it if I cant have us
I might not just get up
I might stay down bad
F—k it if I cant have him
Down bad
F—k it if I cant have him
Like I lost my twin
Waving at the ship
Like I lost my twin
F—k it if I cant have him
