Sick of Being Good

Verse 1

I kept my hands clean for you

Bit my tongue until it bled

Played the saint you wanted

With a halo on my head

I swallowed every insult

Smiled while you threw the stones

Now something in me snapped

And I am not coming home

Pre-Chorus

You built me up to break me

You taught me how to kneel

But the altar's burning down

And I am done being still

Chorus

I am sick of being good

Sick of bending like a wire

I am sick of being good

Watched my patience catch on fire

No more halo no more chains

No more quiet in my veins

I am sick of being good

(Sick of being good)

Drop

Sick sick sick of being good

Sick sick sick of being good

Verse 2

Counted every single slight

Stacked them in a quiet room

Told myself that peace was strength

Now the ceiling's caving through

I was gentle I was kind

I was everything you used

You took the softness from my chest

Left me nothing left to lose

Pre-Chorus

You carved me into silence

You fed me to the dark

But the ashes in my throat

Are the fuel that lights the spark

Chorus

I am sick of being good

Sick of bending like a wire

I am sick of being good

Watched my patience catch on fire

No more halo no more chains

No more quiet in my veins

I am sick of being good

(Sick of being good)

Bridge

Good

Good

I was never good enough

Good

Good

So I'll be everything you're not

Chorus

I am sick of being good

Sick of bending like a wire

I am sick of being good

Watched my patience catch on fire

No more halo no more chains

No more quiet in my veins

I am sick of being good

(Sick of being good)

Drop

Sick sick sick of being good

Sick sick sick of being good
