Story Behind The Song
letting you in on all my faults. a strong rockin honest number.
Song Description
"Things rock up for the driving 'My Bad Side', again with that SoCal vibe as Wimmer owns up to her darker inclinations ("look at me and see a nice person/but I fail sometimes passing the test/my mind has thoughts of the things I want climbing over others to get it"), even if she's working hard to keep them under control ("so I must let die/the part of me says hell to you all"). - Mike Davies, folking.com, UK

Lyrics
my bad side - beth wimmer 2020
VERSE
when you look at me you see a nice woman
'cause i do good things and i sing sweet songs
but my bad karma is coming
running up the blue blood veins in my arms
sometimes i lie, take what isn't mine
keep the biggest piece for myself
i know i got to control and stop
habits that are bad for my health
CHORUS
wanna kill that part of me
wanna let my bad side die
i can mourn myself and grieve
then i can look you in the eye
VERSE
everybody knows nobody's perfect
but i come real close when i'm at my best
look at me and see a nice person
but i fail sometimes passing the test
my mind has thoughts of the things i want
climbing over others to get it
but i know hey i should control and die
trying from now on to not let it
wanna kill that part of me
wanna let my bad side die
i can mourn myself and grieve
then i can look you in the eye
when i kill that part of me
when i watch my bad side die
i might mourn myself and grieve
then i can look you in the eye
solo...
BRIDGE -
let my bad side
let my bad side kill that part of me
VERSE
if i could soar above like the birds i love
i'd have no more call to be small
but i just won't fly so i must let die
the part of me says hell to you all
DOUBLE CHORUS....
