too good
Unraveling Love's Tapestry: Too Good by Corner Club
Lyrics
We were too good for each other
We were incompatible despite our positive qualities.
We were too good for the other
We were better than others but still not right for each other.
One excuse after another
Constant justifications for our relationship issues.
Tears alone under the covers
Experiencing sadness privately, perhaps due to a breakup.
You had always said you loved me
Past expression of love from the partner.
I had always said I loved you too
Reciprocal expression of love from the speaker.
When did all these feelings turn into memories?
Reflecting on when emotions transformed into memories.
We were too close
We were emotionally connected.
We were too far from the truth
We were distant from the truth of our relationship.
So I swept you under the rug
Ignoring or avoiding the problems in the relationship.
Like dust
Discarding the relationship like dust.
And you kept me on your bookshelf
Keeping the speaker as a memory or memento.
With the rest of the pages you flipped through
Being part of the partner's past experiences.
And through
Repetition suggests depth and duration of the relationship.
And through
Continuing emotional impact and memories.
We were too good for each other
Reiterating the incompatibility of the relationship.
We were too good for the other
Reaffirming that the relationship was not right for either.
One excuse after another
Repetition of excuses for the failed relationship.
Tears alone under the covers
Repeating the image of tears and sorrow in solitude.
You had always said you loved me
Previous expression of love from the partner.
I had always said I loved you too
Reciprocal expression of love from the speaker.
When did all these feelings turn into memories?
Contemplating the transformation of emotions into memories.
We clinked our teacups
Sharing an intimate moment, possibly a toast or celebration.
Held our pinkies out and promised
Making promises with a sense of formality and commitment.
We'd be alone together
Desiring to be together despite external challenges.
Found our future sketched on the sidewalk
Envisioning a shared future, but it didn't materialize.
But when the rain came down it washed out
The rain symbolizes challenges that erased those aspirations.
And down
Emphasizing the erasure or fading of shared dreams.
And out
Repetition underscores the extent of the fading dreams.
We were too good for each other
Reiterating the emotional connection despite its challenges.
We were too good for the other
Stating again that the relationship wasn't right for either.
One excuse after another
Repeating the pattern of making excuses for the relationship.
Tears alone under the covers
Repetition of the image of tears and sorrow in solitude.
You had always said you loved me
Previous expression of love from the partner.
I had always said I loved you too
Reciprocal expression of love from the speaker.
When did all these feelings turn into memories?
Reflecting on the transformation of emotions into memories.
We were too good for each other
Reiterating the incompatibility of the relationship.
We were too good for the other
Reaffirming that the relationship was not right for either.
One excuse after another
Repetition of excuses for the failed relationship.
Tears alone under the covers
Repeating the image of tears and sorrow in solitude.
You had always said you loved me
Previous expression of love from the partner.
I had always said I loved you too
Reciprocal expression of love from the speaker.
When did all these feelings turn into memories?
Contemplating the transformation of emotions into memories.
