Description
Sometimes a feeling seems pure at first, almost sacred - like the first line in a new notebook. Everything is smooth, neat, promising. And then - a blot. Small at first, then spreading across the page. It seems like you can still read it, but the meaning is already different.
This is exactly what it's about: how a passion turns into a habit, a habit into a mistake, and then all that remains is a slight smile and a couple of bruises from one's own naivety. It all sounds cheerful, as if the person has already weathered the storm and is now watching its aftermath with coffee and sarcasm.
The melody seems to walk the fine line between “I still love” and “I don't want anymore.” With a hint of regret, but also with that special feeling of relief that only comes after the final “everything.”
Lyrics and translation
Original
I felt good about you 'til I didn't
Crossed lines, past lives, clear vision
Felt good about you, felt good about you
Felt good about you 'til I didn't
Surefire train wreck omission
Felt good about you, felt good about you
Got what you demanded, picture perfect like you planned it
Can't believe the way we landed, fallin' through
Held my breath for your reaction
Like the first time that we happened
We were fighting more than laughing, black and blue, hmm
Felt good about you 'til I didn't
Fell hard, then I lost your interest
Felt good about you, felt good about you
Felt good about you 'til I didn't
Bad nights, new girls, misgivings
Felt good about you, felt good about you
Got me where you want me, in your palm, it's almost funny
All my friends, they tried to stop me wanting you
But I was never meant to listen, not until I found a reason
It took all of me to walk away and choose
Felt good about you, you, you
Felt good about you, you, you
Felt good about you, you, you, hmm
Felt good about you
Felt good about you
I felt good about you 'til I didn't
Fought hard through premonitions
Felt good about you, felt good about you
Felt good about you 'til I didn't
You felt nice for a bad decision
Felt good about you, felt good about you
Really got me thinking, future planning for no reason
There were nights I skipped out sleepin' 'cause of you
I had less than half of something
What you gave was what I wanted
'Til I realized I felt fuller without you, hmm
Felt good about you 'til I didn't
I felt good about you
