Good For You
Jack Vallier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you are only on the other side
Of the same room that I'm in
Is that a stupid thing to say?
You know I′ve never been the jealous kind
But you got me wonderin'
Have you met a knew man
Has he helped you smile and laugh or love you troubles far away
You know I said that I would
Always try to be your friend
No, it's never gonna happen but I can still pretend
If it′s good for you
If it′s good for you
It's good for me
It′s good for me
If it's good for you
If it′s good for you
It's good for me
It′s good for me
I'll do what I've got to do
Whatever sees you through
The harder times ahead
If it′s good for you
If it′s good for you
It's good for me
It′s good for me too
Love's a risky game to play
With a broken heart
I couldn′t mend making all the same mistakes
These memories never fade away
I still remember all the little things
Like it was yesterday
Have you got new plan?
Are you smiling every day?
Are the pictures that you posted
Tryna make it look that way
You used to send them to me
It was the highlight of my day
Now I only see you with those filters on
I have to look away
If it's good for you
If it′s good for you
It's good for me
It's good for me
If it′s good for you
If it′s good for you
It's good for me
It′s good for me
I'll do what I′ve got to do
Whatever sees you through
The harder times ahead
If it's good for you
If it′s good for you
It's good for me
Because I love you, I will let you go
Because I love you, I will let you go
Because I love you, I will let you go
Because I love you, I will let you go
Because I love you, I will let you go
Because I love you, I will let you go
Because I love you, I will let you go
Because I love you, I will let you go
Because I love you, I will let you go
Because I love you, I will let you go
Because I love you, I will let you go
Because I love you, I will let you go
Because I love you, I will let you go
Because I love you, I will let you go

Feels like you're so far away
Even though you are physically close, emotionally you feel distant
When you are only on the other side
You are just on the opposite side of the room
Of the same room that I'm in
We are in the same physical space
Is that a stupid thing to say?
I am questioning if my feelings are silly or not
You know I've never been the jealous kind
I am not usually one to feel jealous
But you got me wonderin'
Your recent behavior is making me curious and concerned
Have you met a new man
Have you started seeing someone else?
Who you talk to everyday?
Are you communicating with this new man frequently?
Has he helped you smile and laugh or love your troubles far away?
Has this man brought you happiness and comfort?
You know I said that I would always try to be your friend
I promised to be there for you, even though our romantic relationship has ended
No, it's never gonna happen but I can still pretend
I acknowledge that we cannot be together, but I still imagine what it would be like
If it's good for you, it's good for me
Your happiness is important to me, even if it means moving on without me
I'll do what I've got to do
I will make whatever sacrifice is necessary
Whatever sees you through
Whatever helps you cope or succeed
The harder times ahead
I expect there will be challenging times in the future
Love's a risky game to play
Being in love is a risky pursuit
With a broken heart
When you have been hurt before
I couldn't mend, making all the same mistakes
I am limited and keep repeating the same patterns
These memories never fade away
The memories of our time together stay with me
I still remember all the little things
I recall even the small details of our time together
Like it was yesterday
It feels like it happened recently
Have you got a new plan?
Do you have new goals or dreams you're pursuing?
Are you smiling every day?
Are you happy and content?
Are the pictures that you posted tryna make it look that way?
Are your social media posts trying to project happiness and success?
You used to send them to me
You used to share those moments with me
It was the highlight of my day
Seeing those pictures from you used to make me so happy
Now I only see you with those filters on
Your social media posts seem less authentic and more polished
I have to look away
It's painful to see you moving on
Because I love you, I will let you go
I care about your well-being and wish you happiness, even if it means not being with me
