Lyrics for Bad

If you twist and turn away If you tear yourself in two again If I could, yes I would If I could, I would let it go Surrender Dislocate If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away Into the night, and through the rain Into the half light and through the flame If I could, through myself, set your spirit free I'd lead your heart away, see you break, breakaway Into the light and to the day Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh To let it go and so to fade away To let it go and so fade away I'm wide-awake I'm wide-awake, wide-awake I'm not sleeping, oh no, no, no If you should ask, then maybe they'd tell you what I would say True colours fly in blue and black Bruised silken sky and burning flak Colours crash, collide in bloodshot eyes Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh If I could, you know I would If I could, I would let it go This desperation Dislocation Separation, condemnation, revelation, in temptation, isolation, desolation Let it go and so to fade-away To let it go, oh yeah, and so to fade-away To let it go, oh no, and so to fade-away I'm wide-awake I'm wide-awake, wide-awake I'm not sleeping Oh no, no, no
