Everything's coming off And I'm falling faster than our clothes can hit the floor I know I shouldn't ask you if you hate it I said, "honey are you sure?" I know we're moving fast But where we're headed you haven't been before And I know we aren't perfect But at least we won't be lonely anymore How are you so good to me? How are you so good to me? By the fire in your eyes and the skin of my teeth How are you so good to me? It started with the walks around the block When you were mad to clear your mind And every now and then became more often Now you're sorry all the time But time can be a prison or a dream Depending on how you read the clock You say you're going to leave me And I hope someday the tick does more than talk How are you so good to me? How are you so good to me? I see the fire in your eyes, by the skin of my teeth Why are you doing this to me? I started making plans A little poison in your drink to ease my nerves I hated every second I gave to you I know you don't deserve But I want you like a dying man Who gave up on his dreams when he was young Naming every hour that he wasted After things he could have done But I won't put up with it No I'll put it down I've learned to bury things I hate deep in the ground And I carry all the little trophies of your touch But today, I'm gonna beat you to the punch Why are you so good to me? How are you so good to me? I see the fire in your eyes, by the skin of my teeth How are you so good to me? Now you'll always be good to me I stared at all the things we'd never have And the blood around my feet became my throne I ran my little fingers down his back Whispered "I'm the only love you'll never know"
