Never Any Good

I was never any good at loving you
I was never any good at coming 
through for you 
You're going to feel much better 
When you cut me loose forever 
I was never any good 
Never any good 
I was never any good at loving you 

I was dying when we met 
I bet my life on you 
But you called me and I folded 
like you knew I'd do 
You called my ace, my king, my bluff
Okay, you win, enough's enough 
I was never any good
Never any good 
I was never any good at loving you 

I was pretty good at taking out 
the garbage 
Pretty good at holding up the wall
Dealing with the fire and the earthquake
But that don't count
That don't count
That don't count for nothing much at all 

I was never any good at loving you 
I was just a tourist in your bed looking 
at the view 
But I can't forget where my lips 
have been 
Those holy hills, that deep ravine 
I was never any good
Never any good 
I was never any good at loving you 

I was pretty good at taking out the garbage
Pretty good at holding up the wall 
I'm sorry for my crimes against 
the moonlight
I didn't think 
I didn't think 
I didn't think the moon would mind at all

I was never any good at loving you 
At doing what a woman really wants 
a man to do 
You're going to feel much better 
When you cut me loose forever 
I was never any good 
Never any good 
I was never any good at loving you
