Good For Nothing
Drama Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You give me your word
There's nothing better than a good love letter to confess
And I thought that there was nothing left
You could care less for love
I bet you tried to write it off as a mistake
I bet you thought you was done
And you would just move on and go and find the one, but, darling
I'll run to you
I'll run, I'll run to you
I'll run, I'll run to you

And I used to dream of fallin' in love
I had some dark strange fantasy of
Finding the one
And everything would make sense
But I couldn't even keep a good for nothing
And I tried
But I couldn't even keep a good for something
But i couldn't even keep a

Tired of callin'
Tired of fallin', I'm
Tired of waitin', hopin'
You're thinkin' of me, I'm
Tired of bein' the only one
Tired just thinkin' 'bout how tired I was

Runnin' to you
I'll run, I'll run to you
I'll run, I'll run to you

And I used to dream of fallin' in love
I had some dark strange fantasy of
Finding the one
And everything would make sense
But I couldn't even keep a good for nothing
And I tried
But I couldn't even keep a good for something
But i couldn't even keep a...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Drama's song Good For Nothing speak about the struggle of finding and holding on to love. The song begins with the singer receiving a love letter from their partner, which they appreciate greatly. The listener gets the sense that the singer has been hurt in the past, which is why they express surprise that they have found someone who is willing to write them such a heartfelt letter about love. However, the singer also reflects on the fact that they themselves have not been successful in holding on to love in the past. They have tried and failed to keep a good relationship going, even when they had everything going for them. This realization seems to make the singer feel hopeless and tired of the constant cycle of trying and failing at love.


Despite this, the singer makes a vow to run to their partner - to fight for their love even when it seems difficult or hopeless. The repeated line "I'll run to you" emphasizes not only the singer's determination to make the relationship work, but also the importance of making an effort in relationships, rather than simply giving up. Overall, the song emphasizes the difficulties of love and the constant struggle and hope required to make it work.
