In this emotionally charged ballad, the artist explores the complexities of lingering affection after a tumultuous relationship. The protagonist is grappling with an internal conflict, where she cherishes the 'good stuff,' or positive memories, yet acknowledges the 'mess' they created together. Despite acknowledging their destructive patterns, she finds it challenging to move on due to her inability to harbor resentment towards her former lover. This paradoxical state reflects the often confusing emotional aftermath of a fractured relationship. The song serves as a poignant reminder that moving on isn't solely about forgetting but also reconciling with both the good and bad aspects of past relationships.
Good Stuff
Lyrics
Take it back to the start
No, I can't tell you apart
When we lost one another
That's when I rediscovered
My memories in the clouds
But no feet on the ground
'Cause I know I should forget you
Why can't I just regret you?
We were fighting fires every night when you met me
And it's not fair at all
So after everything
Why'd you leave me with the good stuff, babe
And forget about the mess we made?
Oh, I wish that my mouth didn't smile when I think of you
But you left me with the good stuff, babe
And I know that it's a crying shame
It's a million times harder when I don't hate you
Oh, I try to rewind
Every scene in my mind
And for you, I've got tunnel vision
And I've blocked out every collision
And in another life, yeah
Do me a favour and try
To leave me broken and bitter
So moving on's a little quicker
We were fighting fires every night when you met me
And it's not fair at all
So after everything
Why'd you leave me with the good stuff, babe
And forget about the mess we made?
Oh, I wish that my mouth didn't smile when I think of you
But you left me with the good stuff, babe
And I know that it's a crying shame
It's a million times harder when I don't hate you
Let me ask you why
I wonder if you're going through the same
As I tonight
Why'd you leave me with the good stuff, babe
And forget about the mess we made?
Oh, I wish that my mouth didn't smile when I think of you
Oh, why'd you leave me with the good stuff, babe
And forget about the mess we made?
Oh, I wish that my mouth didn't smile when I think of you
But you left me with the good stuff, babe
And I know that it's a crying shame
It's a million times harder when I don't hate you
When I don't hate you
