GOODFORNOTHING

​

I see your interest fled

there isn’t enough Svedka in the world

to make a shadow of a difference

your arm’s been twisted

all your exes left you

‘cause your smoking habit’s become such a nuisance

 

you torment me, be it obliviously

or something premeditated to occupy time

you’re playing games

“Compassionate” is not your middle name

but “GoodForNothingFoolForLove” is mine

 

I’m exhausted

what I thought was there, it’s lost

and there’s nothing to be done to mend our fences

and it’s fine by me

if you’re consumed by your own misery

take a sip, or just throw one back

just relax

 

there’s something real peculiar

about the way I fuck with losers

and search for ways to make it all work

imminent failure

you’re nothing short of disastrous

our love terrain is hazardous

and maybe...

 

you’re a good-for-nothing

but you’re good for me

and if all else fails

we’ll just agree to disagree

and maybe some day

you’ll finally start to see

that maybe you’re a good-for-nothing

but you’re good for me

 

you seem alright

but I’m not losing sleep

because I know it’s just a phase and soon you’ll fall back

or maybe that’s me...

let’s give it a month and we’ll see
but I’ve got a newfound faith in myself

 

my conspiracy says that your two left feet

are just a ruse to ensure shoes won’t ever fit you

so, dance as you might just for tonight

you think I’ve lost sight

but I’ve had nothing to lose since I first met you

 

I’d be the first to admit defeat

make amends, but that’s not likely

and yeah, I’ve got a lot to say

as those you tell to shut up tend to

I hoped I’d get my mind straight

yet still you occupy it daily

daily…

 

you’re a good-for-nothing

but you’re good for me

and if all else fails

we’ll just agree to disagree

and maybe some day

you’ll finally start to see

that maybe you’re a good-for-nothing

but you’re good for me

 

I’ve got a newfound faith in myself!

I’ve got a newfound faith in myself!

I’ve got a newfound faith in myself!

we did well

when you get a newfound faith in yourself

bid farewell

 

you’re a good-for-nothing

but that’s what I am

it’s no coincidence I’m into this

you’re quicksand

and I'm up to my eyes

and I'm sinking to stay alive

‘cause maybe you’re a good-for-nothing

but so am I
