[Verse 1]
I watch the color of your cheeks begin to change
And your eyes go soft when being held
I watch your frame contort with rapture when you kiss
And it's cruel 'cause I feel my own dissolve as you hold onto his

[Pre-Chorus]
Now if I was not paralyzed

[Chorus]
I could be good for you
I could be good for you, ooh-ooh-ooh
But I won't be better

[Verse 2]
He pulls you in close and he whispers something in your ear
Whatever it is it makes you smile
Just 'cause they're words I'd never dare to confess
It doesn't mean that he somehow means them any less

[Pre-Chorus]
Now if I was not paralyzed

[Chorus]
I could be good for you
I could be good for you, ooh-ooh-ooh
Now I could be good for you
I could be good for you, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
But I won't be better
No, I won't be better, no
[Bridge]
I watch in awe as he somehow locks into your eyes
Where do you find that kind of courage?
It's like staring right into the sun, God knows I've tried
I never could despite how much I crave its light
If I tried

[Chorus]
I could be good for you
I could be good for you, ooh-ooh-ooh
I could be good for you
But I won't be better, no
