I want everyone to understand that existence is too complicated to be beating ourselves up over small mistakes and toiling over impossible standards. Every single person makes good and bad choices, and people who seem flawless are just Good at hiding the Bad and the Ugly.
[Verse 1]
If what really matters is the inside
Cut me open so I know what I’m like
Help me find the parts that I’ve lost
I know who I was, I know what I’m not
I compare myself to you
But maybe you have bad days too
I see you as a ray of light
But maybe you can’t sleep at night
I tend to take every mistake as something that takes me
Farther from the person that I wish that I could be
Maybe from what I can see you’re just like me
[Chorus]
We can be good, bad, good
Good, good, bad, and good
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
We’re Good, Bad, and Ugly
We can be good, bad, good
Good, good, bad, and good
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
We’re Good, Bad, and Ugly (Yeah)
We’re Good, Bad, and Ugly
[Verse 2]
When you’ve lived in the shadows for most of your life
Comparing where you are now to the steps left to climb to the sunlight
And the people you idolize in the limelight always look fine
Know they see the light too in the same way
You see their good side, but they’re on the same page
Always worried ‘bout what’s gonna come
But maybe I should stop and think about how I’m alive today
Will I ever think that I deserve respect?
There’s always gonna be another step
And if I look up to you, could you ever look up to me too?
[Chorus]
We can be good, bad, good
Good, good, bad, and good
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
We’re Good, Bad, and Ugly
We can be good, bad, good
Good, good, bad, and good
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
We’re Good, Bad, and Ugly (Yeah)
We’re Good, Bad, and Ugly
[Bridge]
(We’re good, we’re bad, we’re ugly)
If I can be anything why can’t I just be me?
I fight with the feeling that I’m not who I should be
If al I feel is lost, then what does that make me?
I fight with the feeling that I’m not who I should be
If I can be anything why can’t I just be me?
I fight with the feeling that I’m not who I should be
If all I feel is lost, then what does that make me?
I fight with the feeling that I’m not who I should be
If I can be anything why can’t I just be me?
I fight with the feeling that I’m not who I should be
If all I feel is lost, then what does that make me?
I fight with the feeling that I’m not who I should be
[Chorus]
We can be good, bad, good
Good, good, bad, and good
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
We’re Good, Bad, and Ugly
We can be good, bad, good
Good, good, bad, and good
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
We’re Good, Bad, and Ugly
(Good, Bad, and Ugly
Good, bad, good, good, bad, good)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
We’re Good, Bad, and Ugly
