No Good
X.C.V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't even want to try
I'm no good at sharing
Just the thought makes me want to cry
I see the people staring
I wanna gouge their eyes out with a spoon
I'm no good at sharing
When it comes to you
When my friend is moving I'm down to load a truck or two
And I embrace the concept we all help to make a better place
But my lofty thoughts go sideways
When I see them smiling at your face
I'm no good at sharing
I don't even want to try
I'm no good at sharing
Just the thought makes me want to cry
I see the people staring
I wanna gouge their eyes out with a spoon
I'm no good at sharing
When it comes to you
I like to think I'm modern
An intellectual logic man
I like to think I'm righteous
Kindness dominates my plan
But sometimes I get hijacked
A trigger from my primal past
And instinct takes over
My frontal cortex comes in last
I'm no good at sharing
I'm no good at sharing
I'm no good at
I'm no good at sharing
I don't even want to try
I'm no good at sharing
Just the thought makes me want to cry
I see the people staring
I wanna gouge their eyes out with a spoon
I'm no good at sharing
When it comes to you
I'm no good at sharing
When it comes to you
When it comes to you
