15. Good Without
Mimi Webb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You nearly gave me a heart attack
When you sad you're doin' well
Is it obvious you're all I had?
And the last year's been like hell
Guess I'm lonely thinkin' that you ain't moved on
And I'm sorry if I'm comin' off too strong
Never thought I'd see the shape of pain
Standin' in the front porch light
Is it obvious I'm not okay?
Never meant to start a fight
Guess I'm just a moment livin' in your past
But I never thought you'd forget me so fast

'Cause I'm starin' at all these photographs
I guess the good things ain't meant to last
I gave you forever, you gave a month
I've never fallen for anyone
And now I'm looking at the ceilin'
Wonderin' just what you're feelin' now
If that's what love's about
Then I'm so good without

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) I'm so good without
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) I'm so good without
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) I'm so good without
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

I know you probably won't relate
I heard you met somebody new
Don't need no pity for pity's sake
You just do what you gotta do
Is it normal for the pain to grow from fear?
Am I weak for thinkin', "I wish you were here"?

'Cause I'm starin' at all these photographs
I guess the good things ain't meant to last
I gave you forever, you gave a month
I've never fallen for anyone
And now I'm looking at the ceilin'
Wonderin' just what you're feelin' now
If that's what love's about
Then I'm so good without

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) I'm so good without
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) I'm so good without
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) I'm so good without
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

(I'm so good without)
'Cause I'm starin' at all these photographs
I guess the good things ain't meant to last
I gave you forever, you gave a month
I've never fallen for anyone
And now I'm looking at the ceilin'
Wonderin' just what you're feelin' now




If that's what love's about
Then I'm so good without

Overall Meaning

In Mimi Webb's song Good Without, the artist sings about moving on from a past relationship and being independent and strong without her former partner. The first verse talks about the shock and pain of hearing that her ex is doing well without her, and the feeling of loneliness that follows. She wonders if she came on too strong, but also realizes that she never thought she would see the shape of pain like this before her. The chorus highlights the struggle of dealing with the end of a relationship, staring at old photographs and realizing that the good things weren't meant to last. She gave her all to the relationship and received only a fraction in return. Despite this, she is able to acknowledge that she does not need her ex to feel complete and is so good without them.


The second verse addresses the coping mechanism of moving on for both parties. She acknowledges that her ex has met someone new, but refuses to pity herself or wallow in sadness. Instead, she questions if it's normal for fear to cause pain to grow and thinks that she may be weak for wishing her ex was still with her. However, the chorus echoes her strength in being able to exist without her past partner, despite the emotional turmoil. By the end of the song, Mimi Webb declares her independence and ability to thrive alone.


Overall, the message of the song is clear: it is possible to heal and be strong after a tough breakup. Mimi Webb's vocals, combined with the emotional lyrics, make for a soulful and relatable anthem for anyone who has ever had their heart broken.
