Too Good To Be True
Motorhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd had enough of heartbreak
I told myself that I could never fall again
Then sure as fate she came, I,
Just had to get to her and,
She gave me all her numbers, gave me all her names
Cold and lonely without you
Don't know if I can make it through,
You been gone way too long,
Too good to let it go, too good to be true
We left and we went home,
Unbelievable,
I looked into her eyes, thunder in my heart,
And we were joined forever
Our bodies slick together,
I told her everything, confessions in the dark
Cold and lonely without you
Don't know if I can make it through,
Maybe you'll hear this song
You been gone way too long,
Too good to let it go, too good to be true
She painted inspiration
Onto my fractured soul, I
Was never sure she knew how much she meant to me
She never trusted me, I know she didn't see
The night she left she killed the heart inside of me
Cold and lonely without you
Don't know if I can make it through,
Maybe you'll hear this song
You been gone way too long,
Too good to let it go, too good to be true
Cold and lonely without you
Don't know if I can make it through,
Maybe you'll hear this song
You been gone way too long,
Too good to let it go, too good to be true

I believe our relationship is too precious to let go, but I also question its long-term viability
We left and we went home,
We left the public setting and proceeded to a private location
Unbelievable,
I found it hard to believe that I was with her and that my feelings were reciprocated
I looked into her eyes, thunder in my heart,
When I looked into her eyes, I felt a strong surge of emotion and passion
And we were joined forever
Our physical and emotional connection was strong enough to create a lasting bond
Our bodies slick together,
We were physically intimate with each other

I shared all my deepest secrets and emotions with her, in the privacy of darkness

Was never sure she knew how much she meant to me
I was uncertain if she truly understood the depth of my love for her
She never trusted me, I know she didn't see
She did not have complete faith in me, which made me doubt if she truly understood my feelings for her
The night she left she killed the heart inside of me
When she left me, it devastated me emotionally, and I felt like a part of me died
