He's a Good Guy!

I guess I never get what I want
'Cause I just don't ask for enough
When you serve the bare minimum
On a silver platter
I'll forgive you again just
So you'd feel better about
What you did to me

But now
I see you secretly creeping
Silently peaking into my life
Subtly speaking to my friends
And questioning them about my nights
Trying to find out who I'm seeing
And who's sheets I could be in
And of course you'd miss me
I am not the problem never have been

So tell me
Was the best worth the worst of me?
Did my love divide us irreversibly?
Is your pride still keeping the space between you and me?
I had a dream the other night told me you loved me
Got back together and you said that you were sorry
I should've known it's in my mind
'Cause no one's as prone to be a victim
More than a man who thinks of himself as a good guy

I guess I was just what you wanted
Though I know you never saw the end coming
Held me down far too long
Underestimated me
Guess the shock still sits deep
That you cannot get ahold of me anymore

So now
I wanna say I wish you all the best
Hope you find someone make it last
Hope you really start to work on yourself
But I wouldn't really mean it
See my wounds they're still bleeding too
And I'd rather put salt in yours so

So tell me
Was the best worth the worst of me?
Did my love divide us irreversibly?
Is your pride still keeping the space between you and me?
I had a dream the other night told me you loved me
Got back together and you said that you were sorry
I should've known it's in my mind
'Cause no one's as prone to be a victim
More than a man who thinks of himself as a good guy

So run fast when you see the signs
Of an opinionated mediocre guy
And I suppose your friends are glad we're through
As they shamelessly tap me now on Grindr too
Getting older is truly a gift
This time last year I still fell for all of it
I've waited 569 days
Just for you to be ready to say you love me

Was the best worth the worst of you?
I'm not sure but I know I would miss me too
And I know I'd question a lot of my choices
If someone told me I was a lot like you
I had a dream where you could finally admit it
Got your shit together and then you just said it
I should've known it's in my mind
'Cause no one's as prone to be a victim more than
A good guy

Was the best worth the worst of me?
Did my love divide us irreversibly?
Is your pride still keeping the space between you and me?
I had a dream the other night told me you loved me
Got back together and you said that you were sorry
I should've known it's in my mind
'Cause no one's as prone to be a victim
More than a man who thinks of himself as a good guy
