[Verse 1]
I didn't mean it
Swear I didn't want to
But I said I didn't love you
And I love you
Do you believe me?
Shouldn't have to ask that question
How many times this gotta happen
'Til your forgiveness turns to leaving? Oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Now that the dust is clearing, mm
I'm tryna figure it out
[Chorus]
'Cause, every time we're too good for too long (Ooh-ooh)
I find a way to make it go wrong (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
Turning waterfalls into rust
And, any time it's goin' our way (Ooh-ooh)
I can see the turn it shouldn't take (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
Don't know why I fuck with our love
'Cause, truth is, all I want for us (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Is to be too good for too long
Too good for too long, mm-mm
[Verse 2]
I should've seen it
Everything was going perfect
But living right below the surface
Was the feelin' I don't deserve this, no
[Pre-Chorus]
So, maybe my mama was right, mm
This is why we can't have anything nice
[Chorus]
'Cause, every time we're too good for too long (Ooh-ooh)
I find a way to make it go wrong (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
Turning waterfalls into rust
And, any time it's goin' our way (Ooh-ooh)
I can see the turn it shouldn't take (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
Don't know why I fuck with our love
'Cause, truth is, all I want for us (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Is to be too good for too long
Too good for too long, mm-mm
[Bridge]
I don't wanna be right, no
I just wanna be yours
I don't wanna be right no more
I just wanna be yours and
[Refrain]
Too good for too long
Too good for too long
I just wanna be too good for too long
Too good for too long
[Outro]
I didn't mean it
I swear I didn't want to
But I said I didn't love you
And I love you
