The Only Good

Take a step back now

Do you remember how

Before the world started falling around you

You were pressed to be

A mess so squeaky clean

Lifted by the shoulders, I found you

 

When I was the only good,

You’re moving on, how do I take care of myself

If you don’t need me anymore

Am I still the only good,

You’re moving on, how do I like myself

If you don’t need me anymore.

 

You looked at me to say

If I needed you, you’d stay

Try and get me to confess weakness

Is that what this is for?

Love is just keeping score,

But I remember when you, too had demons

 

When I was the only good,

You’re moving on, how do I take care of myself

If you don’t need me anymore

Am I still the only good,

You’re moving on, how do I like myself

If you don’t need me anymore.

 

That’s not to say

You can’t feel okay

If I’m not by your side.

I just wanna know

Did I push you away?

Were there words to avoid?

Is there a way,

I can get back the time?

 

When I was the only good,

You’re moving on, how do I take care of myself

If you don’t need me anymore

Am I still the only good,

You’re moving on, how do I like myself

If you don’t need me anymore.
