Bad Husband Lyrics - X Ambassadors

We never saw from each other's sides 

Or eye to eye 

Just eye for eye, lie for lie, fight or flight 

So much baggage, need a luggage rack 

But we carry on with our public spats and our feuds 

Oh, back in the news 

Love taps when I diss you 

Like it was fun 

Actually used to run 

Back to the booth 

Jump back in the studio 

Give you a tongue 

Lashing than you 

Laughed at a stomach tat with the tomb 

Stoning was fun, back in our youth 

But then it wasn't after we knew 

That we were done and actually through (and actually through) 

But if there's one fraction of truth 

If it could be spun back I would do so many things different

'cause it was such a dumbass excuse 

You hit me once 

And that I would use to continue the pattern of abuse 

Why did I punch back? 

Girls your dad is a scumbag 

I'm confused because 

How come you can be a lord of illusion 

How come, how come, you can be a liar and a good father? 

A good dad, but a bad husband 

Why are you a good father? 

A great dad, but a bad husband 

Photos 

You wouldn't beat our love with a writer's block 

Just a line that's hot, that I forgot 

We laughed a little, cried a lot 

I'll never forget when you came home and you held Hailie 

Day before you went to jail and daily 

How we would wait for that mail lady 

Or by the phone, for mom to call 

And I watch you pull yourself up 

And we decided on giving it one more try despite it all 

You're my lightning rod 

When my sky gets dark 

I'm your shiny rocks 

In that tiny box 

When we tied the knot 

When we broke the knot 

Every line we crossed 

We were supposed to not 

Every time we fought 

Being souls that got 

Thrown too far 

Words that we said that we didn't mean 

The words that we meant that we didn't say 

The ones that we thought that should've said 

Letters written that we could've read 

Which maybe would've lead to some good instead 

And had this put to bed 

But I'd be lying still if I said I wasn't sitting here asking myself 

How come you can be a lord of illusion 

How come, how come, you can be a liar and a good father? 

A good dad, but a bad husband 

Why are you a good father? 

A great dad, but a bad husband 

(dad) (you said) 

Forever be a hero in my eyes 

In my eyes 

But there's always another side to a good father 

A great dad, but a bad husband 

We brought out the worst in each other 

Someone had to make the sparring end 

Cause I loved you but I hated that me 

And I don't wanna see that side again 

But I'm sorry Kim 

More than you could ever comprehend 

Leaving you was fucking harder than 

Sawing off a fucking body limb 

Once upon a time where all we had 

Maybe that was what drew us to each other 

It was true love shit that we never knew was possible 

We might have loved each other too much 

And maybe that's what made us do what we did to each other 

All the screw-ups 

Cause you always thought that you was more in love with me 

And I was thinking I was more in love than you was 

For all the times that we thought it worked 

Till we saw how wrong we were 

When the dust settles now 

And all the dirt 

And if I touch the rawest nerve 

All I want is for us not to hurt 

And it's been an exhaustive search to find the words 

But I just heard Mockingbird 

And got the urge to jot me some verses and thoughts 

The purpose was not to stir up open wounds 

I've got a few 

And so have you 

Or argue who's fault it was 

Partly yours, partly mine 

But really no ones 

This is so tough 

I'm getting choked up 

Oh fuck it, we both suck 

We broke up, got back together 

We both thought we had forever 

Not bad people, just bad together 

We were so nuts 

Backstab each other 

Another blow struck 

But there's no ducking this blow 

Cause it's over 

And it's closure 

But, I'm not so sure how to close this 

I just don't know how some people could be 

so good at one thing and so fucked at another 

It's no wonder 

How come you can be a lord of illusion 

How come, how come, you can be a liar and a good father? 

A good dad, but a bad husband 

Why are you a good father? 

A great dad, but a bad husband 

(dad) (you said) 

Forever be a hero in my eyes 

I reply 

But there's always another side to a good father 

A great dad, but a bad husband
