Just Because
Nick Isham Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Confident
We were only looking at the compliments
On the surface there was nothing wrong with it
Maybe we were blinded by love
Your hand in mine
Honestly I thought forever was implied
Didn't think we'd ever even have to try
I guess that it wasn't enough

So we could try to fake these smiles
But we both know the truth
Just because it's good doesn't mean that it's right doesn't mean that it's right no
And just because it works doesn't mean it's for life no it ain't worth the fight oh
And yea I know it's
Hard to say it, I'm hesitating, and I know you feel the same
Just because it's good doesn't mean that it's right doesn't mean that it's right no
Oh oh oh oh
We used to stay up
Till 3 in the morning
You'd tell me bout your day
How much you miss and you want me
But when I'm alone
And you're not here with me
I get to overthinking
How the future is hard to see but clearly
If I'm thinking bout this every day and every night
Maybe I should get this off my mind
Just because it's good doesn't mean that it's right doesn't mean that it's right no
And just because it works doesn't mean it's for life no it ain't worth the fight oh
And yea I know it's
Hard to say it, I'm hesitating, and I know you feel the same
Just because it's good doesn't mean that it's right doesn't mean that it's right no
Oh oh oh oh
So we could try to fake these smiles
But we both know the truth
Just because it's good doesn't mean that it's right doesn't mean that it's right no
And just because it works doesn't mean it's for life no it ain't worth the fight oh
And yea I know it's
Hard to say it, I'm hesitating, and I know you feel the same
Just because it's good doesn't mean that it's right doesn't mean that it's right no
Oh oh oh oh
Just because it's good doesn't mean that it's right no
Just because it's good doesn't mean that it's right no

Oh oh oh oh
Just because it's good doesn't mean that it's right doesn't mean that it's right no

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nick Isham's song "Just Because" are about a relationship that appears to be good on the surface, but deep down both parties know that it's not right. They were initially blinded by love and confident in the relationship, but now they're struggling with the realization that just because something feels good, it doesn't necessarily mean it's right. The song presents the idea that the right decision isn't always the easy one and that maintaining a relationship just because it's convenient or comfortable isn't worth the fight.

The chorus is particularly powerful in conveying this message: "Just because it's good doesn't mean that it's right, and just because it works doesn't mean it's for life, and yeah, I know it's hard to say it, I'm hesitating, and I know you feel the same." The song speaks to the difficulty of making the tough decision to end a relationship that isn't right, even if there's nothing particularly wrong with it. The lyrics suggest that while it may be hard to leave something that feels good, it's important to remember that good isn't always the same as right.

Overall, "Just Because" is a powerful and relatable song that speaks to the complexities of relationships and the difficulty of making tough decisions. It's a reminder that just because something feels good, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the right choice.

Line by Line Meaning

Confident
Starting strong

We were only looking at the compliments
We were only seeing the good things

On the surface there was nothing wrong with it
At first glance, everything seemed fine

Maybe we were blinded by love
Our emotions may have clouded our judgment

Your hand in mine
We were committed to each other

Honestly I thought forever was implied
I believed that we would be together forever

Didn't think we'd ever even have to try
I thought our love was effortless

I guess that it wasn't enough
Our love was not sufficient

So we could try to fake these smiles
We could pretend to be happy

But we both know the truth
We are aware of what is really going on

Just because it's good doesn't mean that it's right doesn't mean that it's right no
Just because something seems good, it doesn't mean it's the right thing to do

And just because it works doesn't mean it's for life no it ain't worth the fight oh
Just because something works, it may not be worth the effort to keep it going

And yea I know it's Hard to say it, I'm hesitating, and I know you feel the same
It's difficult to talk about, and I know you feel the same way

We used to stay up Till 3 in the morning
We used to spend a lot of time together

You'd tell me bout your day How much you miss and you want me
You would update me on your life and express your love for me

But when I'm alone And you're not here with me
When I'm by myself and you're not around

I get to overthinking How the future is hard to see but clearly
I start to overthink about the uncertain future

If I'm thinking bout this every day and every night Maybe I should get this off my mind
If I'm constantly worrying about this, maybe I should address it

Just because it's good doesn't mean that it's right doesn't mean that it's right no
Once again, just because something seems good, it doesn't mean it's the right decision

And just because it works doesn't mean it's for life no it ain't worth the fight oh
Again, just because it works doesn't mean it's worth the fight to keep going

Oh oh oh oh
Vocalization

So we could try to fake these smiles
We can try to pretend to be happy

But we both know the truth
But we both know the reality of the situation

Just because it's good doesn't mean that it's right doesn't mean that it's right no
Repeating the idea once more

Just because it's good doesn't mean that it's right no
Another reminder

Oh oh oh oh
Vocalization

Just because it's good doesn't mean that it's right doesn't mean that it's right no
A final repetition of the main idea
