[Verse 1]
Used to bring you coffee
Balancing two cups in one hand
Laughing at the way you’d burn your tongue
Calling me your “perfect man”
Shared my last clean shirt
With a drunk friend on my floor
Held his head while he was shaking
Drove him home
Locked his door
[Chorus]
I was a good man
Once
Soft hands
Open house
Open heart
You took every fucking piece
Ripped the welcome from my front yard
You turned a good man
Into something you don’t wanna know
You left a good man
Now you’re haunted by a bad ghost
[Verse 2]
You said
“Call me if you need me”
Then you powered off your phone
I was screaming in the hospital
You were busy getting stoned
They were clinking pretty glasses
While I begged them all to stay
Watched my “brothers” check their watches
One by one
They walked away
[Chorus]
I was a good man
Once
Soft hands
Open house
Open heart
You took every fucking piece
Ripped the welcome from my front yard
You turned a good man
Into something you don’t wanna know
You left a good man
Now you’re haunted by a bad ghost
[Bridge]
You made me your doormat
Darling
Wiped your blood and dirt and sweat
Now I’m tearing up the floorboards
Building pyres out of old regrets
I hope my name tastes bitter
When you spit it to your friends
“I don’t know what happened to him”
Bitch
I finally hit the end
[Chorus]
I was a good man
Once
Now I hope that line cuts your throat
You drained every fucking vein
Left me drowning just to stay afloat
You turned a good man
Into something you don’t wanna know
You left a good man
Now you’re praying that this bad ghost
(let you go… fuck that)
This bad ghost
Never lets you go
