Very Bad Things

What happens in Nashville stays in the ground

What happens in Nashville makes no sound

We swore we'd never tell a soul

About the very bad things we can't control

It started out like any night

Pink bus rolling, feeling right

But somewhere between the third and fourth bar

Things went way too far

Nobody talks about what we saw

Nobody mentions breaking the law

Delete the photos, burn the proof

We're burying the truth

Shh, don't say a word

Act like nothing occurred

Smile for the camera, play your part

Hide the darkness in your heart

Very Bad Things happened here tonight

Very Bad Things hidden from the light

We made a pact, we made a vow

Very Bad Things haunt us now

Very Bad Things we can't confess

Very Bad Things, what a mess

Keep it secret, lock it down

Very Bad Things in this town

Can't sit still

Trying to forget it all

Take a pill to feel anything

The bride says"Get it together now

We're not gonna let this ruin my vow"

So we buried what we did last night

Pretend that everything's alright

But the ghost of what we've done

Follows everyone

Can't wash the guilt away

It grows stronger every day

Check your story, keep it straight

We were never at that place

If they ask you where you've been

We were at a different sin

Very Bad Things happened here tonight

Very Bad Things hidden from the light

We made a pact, we made a vow

Very Bad Things haunt us now

Very Bad Things we can't confess

Very Bad Things, what a mess

Keep it secret, lock it down

Very Bad Things in this town

We promised we would take it to the grave

But secrets never stay where you put them, babe

The truth is like a body in the floor

Eventually it comes up through the door

Every text is evidence

Every lie is recompense

For the Very Bad Things we did

For the Very Bad Things we hid

Someone's gonna talk someday

Someone's gonna make us pay

The guilt is eating us alive

We won't make it to the bride

Very Bad Things happened here tonight

Very Bad Things coming to light

We made a pact, we broke our vow

Very Bad Things catch us now

Very Bad Things, can't pretend

Very Bad Things, this is the end

Couldn't keep it locked down

Very Bad Things in this town

Sirens in the distance growing near

Everything we feared

The Very Bad Things we tried to hide

Are standing right outside

What happens in Nashville

Doesn't stay in Nashville

What happens in Nashville

Will kill, will kill, will kill

Very Bad Things

Very Bad Things

Very Bad Things

Coming for us all
