Mallewi - Good Boy

I’m right there by your side
In me, you can confide
Your light, I’ll be your guide
I am such a good boy
Your guy, your ride or die
Denied, but still I tried
You lied, I didn’t cry
I am such a good boy
I’m such a good boy
Was such a good boy
I am such a good boy
I was in a broken state of mind
And I was scavenging for justifications
For you to feed my low self-esteem
Broken state of mind
Broken state of mind
Broken state of mind
Bro
Broken state of mind
You say you want a good boy
Now I know your words are empty
Promises broken like your mind
Trying to tempt me
Believing that you want me
A good boy, honest and true
But your love has only shown me
That a good thing's too taboo
You call me "honey", "sugar", "kind", and "sweet"
You got a mean sweet tooth
Rottin’ with too much eye candy
That pudding with too much proof
With every O-K I gave you
I died a little inside
Then I K-O’d with the breakthrough
That you’d never swallow your pride
I
I was such a good boy
But then I lost it
Took for granted my joy
Now, I’m exhausted
I took your word
And then you took away the kindness from me
I broke apart
And remembered who I’m supposed to be
I had to take it in stride
You showed your colors
I learned it’s not ‘bout bein’ nice
Or good for others
I took your word
And then you took away the kindness from me
I broke apart
And now I know who I’m supposed to be
(Oh)
I was in love with you
Watched it on sub with you
Chilled out and grubbed with you
You!
Liked the idea of me
Not being fair to me
Not being clear to me
I
Missed all the signs
With my heart on the line
I was acting benign
I was wasting my time
Left on read like the flags
Your love gone like my dad
I was got, I was had
It went bad, I went mad
Your love's got me deranged
Got me feelin’ estranged
But with nothing to lose
I was feelin’ the pain
Good boy cracked
Game got hacked
Caught in the act
Then you lied, then I blacked
Out
And got me feelin’ prescribed
And still I tried and tried again
I tried to let it slide time and time
I tried to let it slide but I
I was such a good boy
But then I lost it
Took for granted my joy
Now, I’m exhausted
I took your word
And then you took away the kindness from me
I broke apart
And remembered who I’m supposed to be
I had to take it in stride
You showed your colors
I learned it’s not ‘bout bein’ nice
Or good for others
I took your word
And then you took away the kindness from me
I broke apart
And now I know who I’m supposed to be
I’m kind, not all the time
That’s fine, my heart and mind
In time will be alright
I’m still such a good boy
Alive, I have survived
Besides, love’s a delight
Despite its current fight
I'm still such a good boy
I’m such a good boy
Was such a good boy
I am such a good boy
