Good Thing
India Lake Lyrics

I hate to say I told you so
I don't want to say I warned you, but I did, and now you have to accept it.

But I said you'd miss me when I go
I knew you'd realize my worth after I leave.

You think that you know better
You believe you have more knowledge and experience than me.

Just cause you're a little older
You believe your age makes you wiser.

But you don't know much
Despite your age, your knowledge and understanding are limited.

You keep saying that it hurts you now
You express sadness over my current relationship status.

Seeing me with someone else
You are bothered by the fact that I am with another person.

But I could count the tears I've cried
You leaving me caused me immense pain and led to countless tears.

Since you left me high and dry
You abandoned me and left me alone when I needed you the most.

Guess you didn't know a good thing til it's gone
You didn't truly realize my worth until I was no longer present in your life.

Guess you didn't know a good love til you lost it
You failed to recognize and appreciate the love we had until it was too late.

And I hate to let you down
I do not want to disappoint you.

But I am doing better now
I have improved and am in a better place now.

You took a chance on someone else
You decided to pursue a relationship with another person.

So you can only blame yourself
You are responsible for the consequences of your actions.

So take your superficial love
You can keep your shallow and insincere affection.

Maybe for her it'd be enough
Perhaps your current partner is content with your superficial love.

And nothing's ever perfect but I thought we could've made it
Our relationship was not perfect, but I thought we could overcome our flaws and make it work.

Guess I don't know much
I admit that I do not possess all the answers or solutions.

Don't tell me to answer when you call
You cannot expect me to always be there for you despite your actions.

And I thought that it would hurt me now
I believed that seeing you with someone else would still cause me pain.

Take your excuses
Do not try to justify your actions or behavior.

I don't wanna hear em now
I am not interested in hearing your excuses or reasons anymore.

You had me, you lost me
You had my love and loyalty, but you lost both because of your actions.

So don't try to hold me now
You cannot expect me to forgive you and return to you so easily.

Didn't know a good thing till it's gone
You did not realize my worth or the quality of our relationship until it was too late.
