Bad Habits

Bad Habits is a song that reflects Ed’s past habits of constant drinking and late night partying and what this leads to. Ed Sheeran is now a father and reflects in this song how he cannot continue these bad habits within himself. The vampire costume he uses reflects the dark side of him and displays the ‘bad habits’ he carries with himself and how he can’t seem to make it disappear.

[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 starin' at space And I know I'll 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 truе, 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 lеad to you [Verse 2] Every pure intention ends when the good times start Fallin' over everything to reach the first-time 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 starin' at space And I know I'll 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 And 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 starin' at space And I know I'll 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 you
