Too Good for This World Lyrics

The ice cream shop on twentieth street

I always ended up there in the evening

Walked in asked if I could borrow a seat

Looking back we were destined to meet

The point when conversation

Goes from business to an interest

Bits and pieces form a trailer to a movie

I'll never get to see

You were too good for them

This world of ancient survivors

You were too strong for them

Conformists who hide from the light

You were too smart for them

A textbook can't teach you how to make it

Through the nights you fall down

Tunnels twisting fate

No one ever notices your pain

Till the morning when they'll whisper

"What a shame"

It's too late to say that you were loved

When all the girls you called your friends

Tore you down just for existing

You tried and cried and said goodbye

To the high of a life you thought would be fulfilled

After four years fitting the mold

Bits and pieces form a trailer to a movie

You'll never get to see

You were too good for them

This world of ancient survivors

You were too strong for them

Conformists who hide from the light

You were too smart for them

A textbook can't teach you how to make it

Through the nights you fall down

Tunnels twisting fate

No one ever notices your pain

Till the morning when they'll whisper

"What a shame"

It's too late to say that you were loved

You were too good for them

For the soldiers in their armor

Unbreakable so you can't say no

Go to the lovers

Who will make you feel shiny

Till you realize it's just a game

You run away

And you sat at the river just talking bout life

Your fears at night

With a boy who would go and spill dirt on your name

Like he was ashamed

So you ran away from them

Seemed like you only caused them pain

And when you flew above them

You saw all the forced tears

From the ones who told you it was not that bad

Always second choice but they were all you had

It's too late to say that you are loved
