Bad Blood Lyrics

If you look at Will and all he's done
and you look at me and I am none
And I look at how I'd like to see
myself in you and you in me

Then I wonder how we've softened up
and the rugged world is buttercups
Something blocked my throat and your head it seems-
it's not in you and it's not in me

It's bad blood
(There's nothing but a hole between
what is said and what is seen)
Just bad blood
(There's nothing but a hole in me)
It's bad blood

If we started out with not enough
then a look away would not be rough
But we started right and you turn away
from the thing that looks upon your face

Say I'm what I seem to be
and we're left with something torn between
A moment's love can be forgot
but a moment's hate, it stains our cough

It's bad blood
(There's nothing but a hole between
what is said and what is seen)
Just bad blood
(There's nothing but a hole in me)
Bad blood
(There's nothing but a hole between
what is said and what is seen)
Just bad blood
(There's nothing but a hole in me)
Bad blood
(There's nothing but a hole between)
Bad blood

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
