Good Guy Lyrics by Isobel

Good Guy

2023

[Verse 1]
I tried not to get bitter
Tried not to get mad
Tried to pray it away
Came back twice as bad
I tried to be the good guy
Always arranging, changing
Making spaces safe for you
I tried to be the good guy
But I can't keep track of the people I please
Or all my personalities
Anything to get along, anything to be the good guy
[Chorus]
I gotta get to the root
Not the roundabout
Direct to you
No more interference now
[Verse 2]
You saw me in the crowd
You ran the other way
I tried to save face
Hopе you know I tried to show my good side
And you might not care
But I swеar I hope one day
I can walk up to you and say
"Hey, I think we're good, right?"
[Chorus 2]
We gotta get to the root
Not the roundabout
No ill intent
But I had to protect myself
Saying sorry
But I don't know for what now
Being human
That's all I wanna be now
[Outro]
Even though we're over
I know you'd still shake my shoulders and say
"Why the fuck do you try to be the good guy?"
And I know that we're over
Don't know why I try to be the good guy
