[Verse 1]
You walked in
Like you knew my shadow
Pulled me close
Said I felt like home
I laughed it off
Played cool
Stayed shallow
But my hands shook
When I held your hopes
You talked kids
Sunday dinners
Records
I joked back
Then I changed the page
You saw gold
Where I saw my fractures
So I packed up
While you slept in faith
[Chorus]
You were too good for my love
So I ran like that was noble
Called it “space
” called it “growing”
But I just broke what I was holding
Now I lie here every night
See your name on every sky
You were too good for my love
And I hate that I believed that lie
[Verse 2]
I still know
How your keychain jangled
Every time
You unlocked my door
How you’d hum
While you made your coffee
Like you’d done
This a thousand mornings before
Now it’s cold
But your cup still’s hanging
On the hook
That you picked in June
I scroll past
All your smiling pictures
Heart in throat
Thumb stuck on your face too soon
[Chorus]
You were too good for my love
So I ran like that was noble
Called it “space
” called it “growing”
But I just broke what I was holding
Now I lie here every night
See your name on every sky
You were too good for my love
And I hate that I believed that lie
[Bridge]
If I called you up at midnight (midnight)
Would your voice still say my name? (my name)
Would you hang up just to hurt me
Or say you hoped I finally changed?
’Cause I still set a place beside me
Talk out loud like you’re still near (still here)
I replay the way I left you
That’s the only thing I fear
[Chorus]
You were too good for my love
So I ran like that was noble
Called it “space
” called it “growing”
But I just broke what I was holding
Now I lie here every night
See your name on every sky
You were too good for my love
And I hate that I believed that lie
[Outro]
So I’ll love you from a distance
Where my sorry can’t be heard
’Cause I’m scared you’ll say you’re happy
And I’m stuck here with my words
You were too good for my love
Now that truth just makes it worse
