That I Would Be Good
[PHOENIX]
That I would be good even if I did nothing
[FRANKIE]
That I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
[PHOENIX]
That I would be good even if I got resentful
[FRANKIE]
That I would be good even if I gained ten pounds
[PHOENIX]
That I would be fine even if I act like a child
[JO]
Why won't you accept who I need to be?
[FRANKIE]
That I would be good even if my hair stays wild
[JO]
Does anyone hear me?
[PHOENIX]
That I would be great if I just stopped standing by
[JO]
Everything is fucked when you're not here
[FRANKIE]
That I would be grand if I was not all knowing
[JO]
I need to know that I would be loved
Even when I am my true self
[FRANKIE AND PHOENIX]
It has to get better
[JO]
That I would be good
Even when I am overwhelmed
[FRANKIE AND PHOENIX]
I pray it will be
[PHOENIX]
That I would be loved
[JO]
Am I loved?
[PHOENIX]
Even when I was fuming
[FRANKIE AND JO]
I need to hear that I would be good
Even if I was clingy
[FRANKIE, JO, AND PHOENIX]
That I would be good even if I lost sanity
That I would be good whether with or without you
Oh...
I, I would
I, I
