[Chorus]
Hey, why you say you're good
When you're not good?
You're lying when you tell me that you're fine (La-la-la-la-la)
[Verse 1]
Are you behind my back?
Or does it just feel like that?
Oh, why won't you look me in my face?
Do you really wanna do it like this?
Making me guess what it is?
Just dish it out, put it all on my plate
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I can't sit here with this movie on
Pretend that nothing's wrong
D'on't forget whose side I'm on
[Chorus]
Hey, why you say you're good
When you're not good?
You're lying when you tell me that you're fine
So why you say you're good when you're not?
No, something isn't feelin' quite right
[Verse 2]
Time to get it off your chest
Baby girl, I know you best
And you give a lot away with those eyes
So much harder than it has to be
Why can't ya come clean to me?
Put my suspicions to bed while it's still light
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I can't sit here with the TV on
While I know something's wrong
D'you forget whose side I'm on?
[Chorus]
Hey, why you say you're good
When you're not good?
You're lying when you tell me that you're fine
So why you say you're good when you're not?
No, something isn't feelin' quite right
[Bridge]
It's not wrong
To not be fine
To say you're not okay
If you're not alright
Send me a sign
Get this off your brain
[Chorus]
Hey, why you say you're good
When you're not good?
You're lying when you tell me that you're fine
So why you say you're good when you're not? (When you're not)
No, something isn't feelin' quite right
[Outro]
So why you say you're good? (When you're not)
Why you say you're good when you're not? (Not good)
Why you say you're good? (When you're not)

Not Good was produced by Hauskey.
It could be about a relationship with one person, but I wanted to have that dual meaning of mental health, and if you’re not okay you should be honest with people and not hide it and not tell people you’re good when you’re not. It’s very important and it’s something that I’m trying to get better at....
