Good For You
Alex and The Talai Lama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A partner for my crimes
Collecting all our old mistakes
We'd laugh until we cried
Thought you'd be mine forever
Nothing could tear us apart
Beside me through the worst times
You helped sew up my broken heart
And though it breaks my heart, we're not in the past
You're no good for me
You're no good for me
You're no good for me
Anymore
You're no good for me
You're no good for me
You're no good for me
Anymore
You knew me in my dark times
Heard all my secrets too
You were my biggest lifeline
Our bond was resolute
But then things started changing
We used to fit so well
No longer on the same page
Sorry for all that I withheld
I guess some things aren't meant to last
And though it breaks my heart, we're not in the past
You're no good for me
You're no good for me
You're no good for me
Anymore
You're no good for me
You're no good for me
You're no good for me
Anymore
They say that what's meant for you will be yours in due time
I pray your life is full of joy and that you're doin' fine
I think of my mistakes and each one makes me want to hide
But I hope our happy memories still live on in your mind
I guess some things aren't meant to last
And though it breaks my heart, we're not in the past
You're no good for me
You're no good for me
You're no good for me
Anymore
You're no good for me
You're no good for me
You're no good for me
Anymore
You're no good for me
You're no good for me
You're no good for me
Anymore
The song "Good For You" by Alex and The Talai Lama is a heartfelt tribute to a former best friend who has since become toxic to the singer. The lyrics detail a relationship filled with laughter, shared secrets and support through tough times. However, the friendship has since lost its spark and become emotionally damaging to the singer. It is a sobering realization that some relationships are not meant to last forever.
The chorus, "You're no good for me anymore," serves as a declaration and a painful admission. The singer acknowledges that their former best friend was once a positive influence in their life, but has since become a negative force that must be let go. The songwriting also emphasizes the importance of healthy boundaries and separating from those who no longer serve a positive purpose in your life.
Overall, "Good For You" is a bittersweet song about the end of a friendship and the realization that some relationships are not meant to last forever. It is an emotional and powerful reminder to prioritize one's own well-being and walk away from toxic relationships, no matter how difficult it may be.
