Good Thing Lyrics

I had a dream I was mugged outside your house
I had a dream in a panic you came running out
For a moment you were sure I'd die on you
For a moment I believed you loved me too
But life is never like this, and you're never strong

Too much of a Good Thing won't be good for long
Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong
Too much of a good thing won't be good anymore
Watch where I tread before I fall

We'd talk maybe 20 times a day
And still I never say what I want to say
I thought I wouldn't need to
I guess I read you wrong

Too much of a good thing won't be good for long
Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong
Too much of a good thing won't be good anymore
Watch where I tread before I fall

You refuse to see this, don't see it anymore
I have made the decision not to answer your calls
Cause I put everything out there and I got nothing at all

Too much of a good thing isn't good and you know
I watch where I walk before I fall
Before I fall

Good Thing

Sam Smith wrote this song with Eg White (Adele, Will Young). He told 4Music : "This track is me at my most vulnerable. I had no energy when writing this and this is the demo. It's me at my rawest."

The song is a track from Smith's debut LP In The Lonely Hour. He told The Sun: "This album is about me falling in love with someone who didn't want me back, which has happened many times."

This was one of two tracks on In the Lonely Hour that Sam Smith penned with Eg White ("I've Told You Now" was the other one). He recalled to Digital Spy : "With all the songs we did together, we wrote in a very odd way. We didn't actually start making music at the beginning of the session, we would sit and he would just ask me about what I was going through."

"With this song, I showed him my text messages. I was showing him some things I had been saying between me and another guy, and he was writing down everything I was saying. He started playing some music and the song was then basically already written. 'Good Thing', for me, is the darkest song on the record. If you actually listen to my vocal, I'm not even trying to sing or sound pretty because I was so upset and sad. I kind of loved that and I feel like it really came across in the song."
