[Intro]
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it

[Refrain 1]
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 1]
We were young and drinking in the park
There was nowhere else to go
And you said you always had my back
Oh, but how were we to know?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
That these are the days that bind you
Together, forever
And these little things define you
Forever, forever

[Chorus]
All this bad blood here
Won't you let it dry?
It's been cold for years
Won't you let it lie?

[Refrain 2]
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
If we're only ever looking back
We will drive ourselves insane
As the friendship goes, resentment grows
We will walk our different ways

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But those are the days that bind us
Together, forever
And those little things define us
Forever, forever

[Chorus]
All this bad blood here
Won't you let it dry?
It's been cold for years
Won't you let it lie?

[Bridge]
I don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore
I don't wanna hear you talk about it anymore
I don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore
I don't wanna hear you talk about it anymore

[Chorus]
All this bad blood here
Won't you let it dry?
It's been cold for years
Won't you let it lie?

[Refrain 1]
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Bastille

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
