Good Side
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There're so many ways to fuck up a life
I try to be original
Done plenty more wrong than I ever did right
Still, I'm not a criminal
If I wanted to make this last even longer
I'd do what I did, only sweeter and strong
But that wouldn't stop my true nature from showin' up, eventually
When you think back on us
I don't want you to feel bad
Gonna leave you with my good side
Gonna leave you with my good side
Gonna leave you with my good side
So I'm not calling or coming to the party
Thinking up ways to make you want me
I like what we had and that's as good as it gets
If we say goodbye now and that's how we part
It'll never be sad, and we'll finish what we started
And we won't have regrets
I'm gonna leave you with my good side
I'm gonna leave you with my good side
I'm gonna leave you with my good side
(Why does the chicken cross the road?)
('Cause it wants to dig a Brad Pitt)
(Why does the chicken cross the road?)
('Cause it wants to dig a Brad Pitt)
(Why does the chicken cross the road?)
('Cause it wants to dig a Brad Pitt)
(Why does the chicken cross the road?)
('Cause it wants to dig a Brad Pitt)
When you think back on us
I don't want you to feel bad
You'll find in due time
You're gonna miss what we had
Gonna leave you with
Gonna leave you with
Gonna leave you with my good side
Gonna leave you with my good side
You're gonna miss me and my blue eyes
You're gonna leave me with the good side
