[Verse 1]
They should put a warning sign on me
“Good at the start but ends in pain”
And when you open up to me
I can’t help it, I push you away

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I mess it up when everything’s finally going right
I drank too much and introduced you to my darker side
Throw away the trust that took me so long to find
I never learn

[Chorus]
Why is it always too good to be true?
Always too good to be true
You can’t have your cake and smash the plate and eat it too
It’s always too good to be true

[Post-Chorus]
Ah-ah, ah, ah

[Verse 2]
Living on advice and second chances
I call home on Sundays, tell them I'm okay
And I love this good feeling about you
But it's not the first time I felt this way
I told myself tonight I'll bе a good girl
But this story always ends the same
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I talk too much about my еx and then I realise
I left my phone in the backseat of the taxi ride
Meltdown at the party when we arrive
I never learn

[Chorus]
Why is it always too good to be true?
Always too good to be true
You can’t have your cake and smash the plate and eat it too
It’s always too good to be true

[Post-Chorus]
Ah-ah, ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah, ah

[Bridge]
Maybe I'll grow up one day
Know the perfect things to say
Get me out of my own way
I pray I'll change, I pray

[Chorus]
But it's always too good to be true
Always too good to be true
You can’t have your cake and smash the plate and eat it too
It’s always too good to be true
[Post-Chorus]
Ah-ah, ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah, ah
