“good TV” is a sad pop ballad centered around the concept of the 1998 American film The Truman Show—a psychological and comedy-drama film about a man named Truman.

[Verse 1]
I'm aware, I'm aware, I'm aware I'm starring in The Truman Show
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I finally have to let you go
I'm happy when we're touchin', then you go back home to him
We can act like this was nothin', but secrets don't make friends
[Pre-Chorus]
Take a bow, cue the spotlight
You've been working so hard, living two lives
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, go live your life
Go make some memories tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he'll treat you right
You'll forget you were ever mine
And I'll be waitin' like a dog for you to come home to me
In case you never do, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight
[Post-Chorus]
Bu-dum-bum, bu-dum-bum
Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight
Bu-dum-bum, bu-dum-bum
Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight
[Verse 2]
I'm aware, I'm aware, I'm aware you've got way more to lose than me
I don't know, but I hope that for you this wasn't just some good TV
Is my heartbreak entertaining? How's this season gonna end?
With your happy ever after and me on my own again?
[Pre-Chorus]
Take a bow, cue the spotlight
You've been so torn apart, living two lives
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, go live your life
Go make some memories tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he'll treat you right
You'll forget you were ever mine
And I'll be waitin' like a dog for you to come home to me
In case you never do, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight
[Post-Chorus]
Bu-dum-bum, bu-dum-bum
Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight
Bu-dum-bum, bu-dum-bum
Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight
[Bridge]
(If you don't need me) Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight
(Then go 'head and leave me) Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, go live your life
Go make some memories tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he'll treat you right
You'll forget you were ever mine
