Good Ones
Charli XCX Lyrics

I wish you gave me a reason
I wish you had given me an explanation for leaving me.

That you were better at leavin'
You were good at leaving me behind without any explanation.

That you got your kicks from seein' me low
You enjoyed seeing me suffer and feeling miserable.

I always let the good ones go
I tend to lose good people in my life and keep the bad ones instead.

Don't want the kisses, unless they're bitter
I do not want any sweet gestures unless they come with a negative feeling.

I'm hooked on touches that leave me weaker
I am addicted to the touches and contacts that make me feel vulnerable and drained.

I swear that I love nothin' more than broke
I claim that I love only broken things or situations more than anything else.

And baby, you couldn't have loved me any better
You had shown me the best kind of love I could have received from anyone.

But doin' this is all that I've known ever
However, chasing after and being with bad people is all I have ever done and known.

I want the bad ones, 'cause they're all I know
I desire the bad people in my life because that's the kind of relationship I am familiar with.

Let you down easy, I'm tryin'
I am trying to let you go as smoothly and painlessly as possible.

'Cause you're everything I've spent my whole life fightin'
Because being with someone like you, who is genuinely good, is something I have been struggling with all my life.

So when I walk away, it's not your fault
When I decide to end things between us, it's not because of anything you did wrong.

I always let the good ones go
I always end up losing good people in my life.
