From the recording Good For Them

Release of Good for Them — Written for the role you keep playing after it stops serving you.
You give your time and watch it die in the feed. Doing good feels good—until you’re ghosted anyway. Mid-tempo alt-indie with a hook that smiles while it cuts. Always good for them. Never good for me.

Lyrics

It’s 3 AM, my phone won’t stop lighting up blue
Group chat blowing up ’cause someone subtweeted you
I’m typing paragraphs, calming everybody down
While my own unread messages pile on the ground

You send a voice note crying in the rideshare line
I Venmo you the fare, tell you, you’ll be fine
Screenshot my advice, post it like it’s yours
I get the “thank u bestie” then nothing more

I’m the fix-it friend in everyone’s story
Late-night therapist, no glory
Fading out slowly

I’m good for them, good for them
Never good for me
I give my time, watch it die
In the notifications feed
I’m good for them, good for them
That’s the role I play
Doing good feels so good
Till I’m ghosted anyway
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Never good for me

I cancel my plans when you’re spiraling again
“Soft launch” your situationship, I like every pic
Stay up analyzing texts that never send
Tell you “boundaries, babe,” but I don’t set any

You bloom in the likes that I help you chase
While I’m stuck on read in my own headspace
Laughing in the selfies, dying in the DMs
But I’ll hit reply again and again

I’m the “hey are u up?” they always turn to
The one who comes through
When they’re falling apart too

I’m good for them, good for them
Never good for me
I give my time, watch it die
In the notifications feed
I’m good for them, good for them
That’s the role I play
Doing good feels so good
Till I’m ghosted anyway
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Never good for me

[Bridge]
Maybe one day I’ll leave the chat on Do Not Disturb
Stop being the savior nobody deserves
But tonight I’m still typing
Thumbs up and silence
Saving you, draining me

[Final Chorus]
I’m good for them, good for them
Never good for me
I give it all, watch it fall
Like stories at twenty-four hours, see
I’m good for them, good for them
But starting right now
I’ll log off, breathe out
Be good to myself somehow
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Finally good for me

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, finally good for me
