Here are the complete lyrics to ‘Good 4 U’ for fans who want to read along or better understand the song.

[Intro]

(Ah)

[Verse 1]

Well, good for you, I guess you moved on really easily

You found a new girl and it only took a couple weeks

Remember when you said that you wanted to give me the world?

(World)

And good for you, I guess that you′ve been working on yourself

I guess that therapist I found for you, she really helped

Now you can be a better man for your brand-new girl (girl)

[Chorus]

Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy

Not me, if you ever cared to ask

Good for you, you’re doing great out there without me, baby

God, I wish that I could do that

I′ve lost my mind, I’ve spent the night

Crying on the floor of my bathroom

But you’re so unaffected, I really don’t get it

But I guess good for you

[Verse 2]

Well, good for you, I guess you’re gettin’ everything you want (ah)

You bought a new car and your career’s really takin’ off (ah)

It′s like we never even happened, baby, what the fuck is up with that? (Ha)

Pre-chorus

And good for you, it’s like you never even met me

Remember when you swore to God I was the only

Person who ever got you? Well, screw that and screw you

You will never have to hurt the way you know that I do 

[Chorus]

Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy

Not me, if you ever cared to ask

Good for you, you’re doing great out there without me, baby

God, I wish that I could do that

I’ve lost my mind, I’ve spent the night

Crying on the floor of my bathroom

But you′re so unaffected, I really don′t get it

But I guess good for you

[Break]

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Bridge]

Maybe I’m too emotional

But your apathy is like a wound in salt

Maybe I′m too emotional

Or maybe you never cared at all

Maybe I’m too emotional

Your apathy is like a wound in salt

Maybe I′m too emotional

Or maybe you never cared at all

[Chorus]

Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy

Not me, if you ever cared to ask

Good for you, you’re doing great out there without me, baby

Like a damn sociopath

I′ve lost my mind, I’ve spent the night

Crying on the floor of my bathroom

But you’re so unaffected, I really don′t get it

But I guess good for you

[Outro]

Well, good for you, I guess you moved on really easily
