You patronize yourself in front of all your friends 
You wonder why your dreams have all been spent 
And up is where you’re not 
And haven’t been for quite sometime 

You’re barely hanging on finding out 
He’s gone again 
His lies are blowing smoke inside your head 
And we all know in our hearts, 
But you don’t know yet 
You’re too good for him. You’re too good for him 

You build a house of sand up against the tide 
And can’t believe the luck 
That’s never on your side 
He sells you what you fear and you buy his alibis 
You’re too good for him, you’re too good for him 

Where’d you get the dumb idea that love has to hurt to get what you want 
Cause you don’t have to dance the dance 
For anyone 
You’re too good for him 

You throw away your pride 
At the usual time and place 
You wear your porcelain smile 
That’s heavy on your face 
He feeds you [bad word] of hope to light your eyes 
Then waves another one of his goodbyes 
You’re too good for him
