Lyrics
[verse]
I saw you standing at the counter and I froze up
Wanted to say something but my nerve just closed up
Wish I'd said hello instead of looking away
Now the moment's gone and I'm replaying it today
[chorus]
It's a bad habit, always overthinking twice
Bad habit, never taking my advice
I keep quiet when I should be brave and clear
Bad habit, why's the truth so hard to hear
Bad habit, bad habit, holding back again
Bad habit, bad habit, wondering what could've been
[verse]
Every chance that comes I find a way to let it pass
Building up excuses that I know will never last
I want to change the pattern, want to break the loop I'm in
Before another moment slips away again
[chorus]
It's a bad habit, always overthinking twice
Bad habit, never taking my advice
I keep quiet when I should be brave and clear
Bad habit, why's the truth so hard to hear
Bad habit, bad habit, holding back again
Bad habit, bad habit, wondering what could've been
[bridge]
Maybe this time I'll say what's on my mind
Maybe this time I'll leave the fear behind
No more bad habits keeping me from you
Just the truth, plain and simple, coming through
[chorus]
It's a bad habit, always overthinking twice
Bad habit, never taking my advice
I keep quiet when I should be brave and clear
Bad habit, why's the truth so hard to hear
Bad habit, bad habit, holding back again
Bad habit, bad habit, wondering what could've been
