No Good
Josh Waters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We never see eye to eye
I know I got caught up a couple times baby
You only hear the lies in all that I’m saying
I wouldn’t put it all on you even if I wanted
That don’t mean I don’t I love you
I was In the moment
Where we were was so confusing
I know you don’t wanna see me with somebody else
I couldn’t help
All the things I did
Guess it is what it is
Chorus
We fuss and we fight but nothing comes from it
Tried to walk away but I can’t run from it
Oh I’m tired, so tired
Know your lovings good but you’re no good for me
Know your lovings good but you’re no good for me
I know your lovings good.. but listen
Verse 2.
Lay my cards down every time
Never thought I’d see the end of you and I
Wanted to give you something better baby
But you’re stubborn and stuck in your ways
I couldn’t put it all on you even if I wanted
That don’t mean I don’t love you
I was in the moment
No it don’t excuse it
But where we were was so confusing
I know you don’t wanna see me with somebody else
I couldn’t help
All the things I did
Guess it is what it is
Bridge
Deep down we both want the best for each other
And walking away ain’t the easiest thing to do
Especially after all these tears
And all those years..
just wasn’t enough
Chorus
We fuss and we fight but nothing comes from it
Tried to walk away but I can’t run from it
Oh I’m tired, so tired
Know your lovings good but you’re no good for me
Know your lovings good but you’re no good for me
I know your lovings good.. but listen

In the first verse, he acknowledges the lack of understanding and disagreement between him and his partner. He admits to making mistakes and acknowledges that his partner only hears the lies in his words, possibly indicating a lack of trust. Despite this, he doesn't solely blame his partner for the issues they are facing and expresses his love for them.
Waters recognizes that his actions have hurt his partner and acknowledges that he couldn't control himself at times. He understands the consequences of his behavior but also states that the situation they were in was confusing, possibly implying that their relationship was in a difficult and complicated place. He also acknowledges that his partner doesn't want to see him with someone else, suggesting that there are still strong emotions present.
In the second verse, Waters explains that he always tried to be honest and vulnerable with his partner, but he never expected their relationship to come to an end. He wanted to offer them something better, but their stubbornness and resistance to change prevented that. Again, he emphasizes that he doesn't entirely blame his partner and reiterates his love for them.
The bridge delves into the emotional struggle both parties face in letting go. Waters implies that both he and his partner genuinely want the best for each other, but walking away from the relationship is not an easy decision. The pain and years invested in the relationship make it difficult to part ways, even when it may be the best choice.
Overall, the chorus conveys a sense of frustration and exhaustion. The couple often argues but never finds a resolution. Waters contemplates walking away from the relationship but feels unable to fully detach due to the strong feelings his partner evokes. He acknowledges that while his partner's love is good, it may not be good for him in the long run.
In "No Good," Josh Waters explores the complexities of a troubled relationship, highlighting the difficulties and emotional turmoil that come with love and letting go.

We never see eye to eye
We have disagreements and our perspectives don't align
I know I got caught up a couple times baby
I admit that I made mistakes on a few occasions, my dear
You only hear the lies in all that I’m saying
You choose to believe the falsehoods in everything I say
I wouldn’t put it all on you even if I wanted
I don't solely blame you, even if I desired to
That don’t mean I don’t I love you
That doesn't imply that my love for you has diminished
I was In the moment
I was carried away by the circumstances
No, it don’t excuse it
No, it doesn't justify my actions
Where we were was so confusing
Our relationship was in a state of perplexity
I know you don’t wanna see me with somebody else
I understand that you don't want to witness me being with someone else
I couldn’t help
I couldn't control
All the things I did
All my actions
Guess it is what it is
I suppose it remains as it is
Lay my cards down every time
I always put everything on the line
Never thought I’d see the end of you and I
I never imagined our relationship coming to an end
Wanted to give you something better baby
I desired to provide you with a superior experience, my dear
But you’re stubborn and stuck in your ways
However, you are obstinate and resistant to change
I couldn’t put it all on you even if I wanted
I couldn't blame you entirely, even if I wished to

But our situation was incredibly bewildering
Deep down we both want the best for each other
At the core, we both desire the utmost happiness for one another
And walking away ain’t the easiest thing to do
Moving on is not a simple task
Especially after all these tears
Particularly considering the abundance of tears shed
And all those years..
And all those years we spent together
just wasn’t enough
it simply wasn't sufficient
We fuss and we fight but nothing comes from it
We argue and quarrel, yet it leads to no resolution
Tried to walk away but I can’t run from it
I attempted to leave, but I cannot escape this situation
Oh I’m tired, so tired
Oh, I'm exhausted, incredibly exhausted
Know your lovings good but you’re no good for me
I acknowledge that your affection is wonderful, but you are not suitable for me
Know your lovings good but you’re no good for me
I understand that your love is pleasurable, but you are not beneficial for me
I know your lovings good.. but listen
I am aware that your love is satisfying, but please pay attention
