So Bad

"**So Bad**" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Brandon Colbein (also known as Brandon Skeie) that was released on January 22, 2016.

## Background

Brandon Skeie explained to Nylon in an interview that the song was about the first serious relationship he's had.

> "*'So Bad' is actually based off a previous relationship. It was my first serious relationship. It was about wanting somebody so much and being in this relationship, but after about maybe six, seven months I figured out this isn’t right—this isn’t going to continue on the way I’d hoped it had. We’d gone through a lot of issues. But at the end of it, I still wanted him so bad. No matter what he did, no matter how much we argued, I always went back to the fact that I’m so in love with him, and I just really wanted to be with this person, but knowing that I couldn’t be. It’s about that struggle of knowing you want something or someone so bad, but knowing that it’s not the right time, the right place, or the right circumstance for it to actually happen.*"

## MIIA feature

It was later discovered on ASCAP's repertory that MIIA was listed as a performer for the song. Considering their collaborations during this time, it is highly likely that MIIA was indeed included on a remixed version of the song, containing new lyrics sung by her, likely a bridge since the song has none, however, none of this has been confirmed to date. The collaboration was not released and never spoken about publicly.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Every day, every word that I say, lip service

I'm ok, I'll deny what's beneath the surface

Without you here I don't know what I'm doing

Can't hide my fears I try but I'm in ruins

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I could sit and lie to you

But what's the point, what's the use

You can see I'm blind for you

You break the rules and I'm the fool that wants you badly

No matter what you do

I still love you madly with your every move

**[Chorus]**

I want you so bad

Ba da da da, ba da da da, ba da da da

I want you so bad

Ba da da da, ba da da da, ba da da da

I want you so

**[Verse 2]**

Where do you go when you go, I know I know

But I pretend I don't

Where do you go far from home, you go you go

But still, I know

Without you here I don't know what I'm doing

Can't hide my fears I try but I'm just human

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I could sit and lie to you

But what's the point, what's the use

You can see I'm blind for you

You break the rules and I'm the fool that wants you badly

No matter what you do

I still love you madly with your every move

**[Chorus]**

I want you so bad

Ba da da da, ba da da da, ba da da da

I want you so bad

Ba da da da, ba da da da, ba da da da

I want you so bad

Oh, badly

**[Verse 3]**

A better day is on the way

When Saturday comes I'll leave ya

I know the game, we love to play

You walk I'll follow the leader, leader

I'll follow the leader, leader

'Cause you're my leader

And I want you badly no matter what you do

I still love you madly with your every move

**[Chorus]**

And I want you so bad

Ba da da da, ba da da da, ba da da da

I want you so bad

Ba da da da, ba da da da, ba da da da

I want you so bad

Ba da da da, ba da da da, ba da da da

I want you so bad

Ba da da da, ba da da da, ba da da da

I want you so
