Good Thing

Album: In the Lonely Hour (2014)

  • I had a dream I was mugged outside your house
    I had a dream in a panic you came running out
    For a moment you were sure I'd die on you
    For a moment I believed you loved me too
    But life is never like this, and you're never strong

    Too much of a good thing won't be good for long
    Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong
    Too much of a good thing won't be good anymore
    Watch where I tread before I fall

    We'd talk maybe twenty times a day
    And still I never say what I want to say
    I thought I wouldn't need to
    I guess I read you wrong

    Too much of a good thing won't be good for long
    Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong
    Too much of a good thing won't be good anymore
    Watch where I tread before I fall

    You refuse to see this, don't see it anymore
    I have made the decision not to answer your calls
    'Cause I put everything out there and I got nothing at all

    Too much of a good thing isn't good and you know
    I watch where I walk before I fall
    Before I fall Writer/s: Francis Anthony White, Samuel Frederick Smith
