Song Description

There is a touch of cynicism in the question posed: Was It Good For You? The subject may have come to terms with the fact that the relationship is over and the reasons why. She has shed the vulnerability that hope coddles, and seems torn between confronting her anger and finding closure. Is the question rhetorical? Maybe. You be the judge.

Lyrics

Was It Good For You
By Elizabeth (Beth) Davidson 2006

I?ve lived my life like a pair of faded jeans.
In your world of fancy labels and designer things
So I really shouldn?t blame you for needing what you?ve missed.
Maybe I was just a ?thing-to-do? crossed off your list.
Yes, time will keep on moving ? if I stay or if I go
But before it blows away this moment I just gotta know

Was it good for you?
Did it make you high?
Did it make you feel like you were 10 feet tall
And you could fly?
Did you hold your breath?
When I sold my soul?
Oh tell me tell me tell me
Cause I just gotta know?
Was it good for you?

Your deepest secret?s written all over your face.
Forgotten smells of passion lingers in this place.
Those marks there on your skin betray the lies you tell,
The branding of another love ? I know it well .
I?m not as fragile as you think that I might be
But there?s one thing I need to know before you set me free?

Was it good for you?
Did it make you high?
Did it make you feel like you were 10 feet tall
And you could fly?
Did she steal your breath?
Did she save your soul?
Oh tell me tell me tell me
Now before I go?
Was it good for you?

Was it good for you?
Did it make you high?
Did it make you feel like you were 10 feet tall
And you could fly?
Did she steal your breath?
Did she save your soul?
Oh tell me tell me tell me
Cause I gotta know?
Was it good for you?
