Nothing But Good To You

Well I gave my heart to you, then you beat it black and blue. 
When I’ve been nothing but good to you. 

Well, thank the gods it’s over, couldn’t carry on much longer, 
Trying to keep it all from dying, stem the bleeding, stop the heart, 
Tired of waking up in panicked fits, to fix it all and can it be? 
I held it all together just to watch it fall apart. 

I zealously made love the god I prayed to, 
And jealousy and heresy betrayed you, 
I’d open up the hymnal and then fall out of the pew, 
When you wouldn’t even share your point of view. 

You took my love and with a “thanks” you treat me like you do 
When I’ve been nothing but good to you. 

Tired of waking in the middle, tired of listening to a liar, 
Tired of dealing with the bullshit after putting out the fires, 
Tired of being sold your healing and your “wildness” and your magic, 
And your endless love that ended about the time the next thing came. 

But it’s not from lack of trying that we made it here. 
And if that needs clarifying let me make it clear, 
If it wasn’t for your lying, then my love that was undying, 
Wouldn’t be buried and gone within the year. 

Well a perfect chord’s a triad, but what if it falls out of tune? 
I’ve been nothing but good to you. 

Well you hid your love inside a heart I couldn’t break into, 
I’ve been nothing but good to you. 

But it’s not from lack of trying that we made it here. 
And if that needs clarifying let me make it clear, 
If it wasn’t for your lying, then my love that was couldn’t die, 
would still be alive and well saying “no hard feelings”... 

But my last memory of us was of our last rendezvous 
So I’ll have nothing to do with you. 

When I gave you all my heart and then you slapped it black and blue, 
When I’ve been nothing but good to you.
