[Intro]
Why'd we make the simplest things so hard?
[Verse 1]
I brought you breakfast, then you stared at your rings
The air was fragrant and thick with our silence
I held my breath as something deep inside pinched
I touched the bump on your wrist you were born with
[Pre-Chorus]
Watching you tryna push away
It hurts when you see it coming
You're too proud to tell me that you care
Watching you tryna push away
It hurts when you see it coming
Never use your words to show you care
[Chorus]
I think you know it
Too cool to show it
Babe you're so good, you're too good to be true
I think you know it
Too cool to show it
Babe you're so good, you're too good to be true
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Why'd we make the simplеst things so hard?
[Verse 2]
I let my pain out through the way that I sit
And start to pick at the rips in my Nikеs
You quote Thom Yorke and lean in for a quick kiss
But still you just won't admit that you like me
[Pre-Chorus]
Watching you lower both your eyes
It hurts when you know it's over
Still too stubborn to show that you care
Watching you lower both your eyes
It hurts when you know it's over
I feel like you never really cared
[Chorus]
I think you know it
Too cool to show it
Babe you're so good, you're too good to be true
I think you know it
Too cool to show it
Babe you're so good, you're too good to be true
I think you know it (Oh)
Too cool to show it
Babe you're so good, you're too good to be true
I think you know it
Too cool to show it
Babe you're so good, you're too good to be true
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Why'd we make the simplest things so hard?
Oh-oh-oh
Why'd we make the simplest things so hard?
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh
Sunspots in your eyes, dark green
You still mean the world to me
Oh-oh-oh
Why'd we make the simplest things so hard?
Why'd we make the simplest things so hard?
Too Good was written by Arlo Parks & Paul Epworth.
Too Good was produced by Paul Epworth.
Arlo Parks released Too Good on Fri Jan 29 2021.
I did this one with Paul Epworth in one of our first days of sessions. I showed him all the music that I was obsessed with at the time, from ’70s Zambian psychedelic rock to MF DOOM and the hip-hop that I love via Tame Impala and big ’90s throwback pop by TLC. From there, it was a whirlwind. Paul st...
