Good Thing
Smith Lyrics

I had a dream I was mugged outside your house
I dreamed that something terrible happened while I was near your house, indicating the danger you pose to me.

I had a dream in a panic you came running out
In my dream, I envisioned you only running out to check on me out of fear of losing me, and not out of genuine concern for my well-being.

For a moment you were sure I'd die on you
You were afraid that something would happen to me, but only because of the potential loss it would bring to you and not because you value my life.

For a moment I believed you loved me too
In that brief moment of panic, I thought you genuinely cared about me, but that notion was quickly disproved.

But life is never like this, and you were never strong
The reality is that life never plays out like one's dreams, and you were never strong enough to possess the love and compassion that I need.

Too much of a good thing won't be good for long
Even though the situation appeared positive and I enjoyed our time together, I knew that too much of it would eventually lead to a negative outcome.

Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong
Despite the joy that you brought me, I couldn't continue to be with you due to the negativity that was inevitably on the horizon.

Watch where I tread before I fall
I need to be cautious in my actions and decisions to avoid getting hurt.

We talk maybe twenty times a day
We communicate incessantly, however, there's still so much that I find myself unable to express to you.

And still I never say what I want to say
Despite our frequent conversations, I can never bring myself to truly say what's on my mind.

I thought I wouldn't need to
I assumed that you would be able to understand my unspoken thoughts and feelings without me having to speak them aloud.

I guess I read you wrong
I realized that my assumptions about your level of understanding were misguided, and that I mistakenly thought we were on the same page.

You refuse to see this, don’t see it anymore
You're incapable of understanding the dangerous path we're on, and you're no longer able to see the situation clearly.

I have made a decision not to answer your calls
In order to avoid further emotional harm, I've chosen to sever communication with you.

'Cause I put everything out there and I got nothing at all
I opened up and gave everything to you, yet you didn't reciprocate in a meaningful way.

Too much of a good thing isn't good and you know
Even you, on some level, understand that too much of a good thing can lead to negative outcomes.

Before I fall
I'm taking steps to protect myself from the inevitable fall that will result from our relationship.
