broke a heart, that's gentle and true.
Well, I broke a heart over someone like you.
I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knees.
I wouldn't blame him if he said to me...

You're no good,
You're no good,
You're no good.

Baby, you're no good.
I'm gonna say it again.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Max Duke's song "No Good" describe the regret and guilt that comes from breaking someone's heart. The singer admits to breaking the heart of someone who was gentle and true, all for the sake of being with someone who the singer knew was not good for them. The singer acknowledges the gravity of their actions and is willing to beg for forgiveness, but also understands that the person they hurt may not be able to forgive them.

The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the message that the singer is trying to convey - that they are "no good" and that their actions were "no good" as well. The lyrics also suggest a cyclical pattern - the singer broke a heart and is now experiencing their own heartbreak as a result of their actions.

Overall, "No Good" is a poignant song that explores the consequences of making choices that we know are not the best for us or for those around us.
