Linkin Park’s “Good Things Go” is an introspective exploration of self-sabotage and the struggle for redemption. The song captures the cyclical nature of internal battles—moments of self-awareness clashing with destructive tendencies. The theme revolves around the fragility of self-control and the haunting displacement of positivity by negativity. It’s a raw confession of personal flaws and the yearning for connection despite pushing others away.

Good Things Go Lyrics by Linkin Park

Feels like it’s rained in my head for a hundred days
Feels like it’s rained in my head for a hundred days
Stare in the mirror and I look for another face
Stare in the mirror and I look for another face

And I get so tired
Of putting out fires
And making up lies
Checking my eyes
For some kinda light
But nothing’s inside

And it feels like it’s rained in my head for a hundred days

And I say I hate you when I don’t
Push you when you get too close
It’s hard to laugh
When I’m the joke
But I can’t do this on my—
Only you can save me from my lack of self-control
Sometimes bad things take the place where good things go

I’ve asked for forgiveness a hundred times
I’ve asked for forgiveness a hundred times
Believed it myself when I halfway apologized
Believed it myself when I halfway apologized

And it’s not unfair
I’m asking for prayers
But nobody cares
Going nowhere
Like falling downstairs
While everyone stares

No one’s there when I’ve asked for forgiveness a hundred times

And I say I hate you when I don’t
Push you when you get too close
It’s hard to laugh
When I’m the joke
But I can’t do this on my—
Only you can save me from my lack of self-control
Sometimes bad things take the place where good things go

No. I’m just taking a shot, ah
Maybe I’m just too eager, oh
Maybe I lost the plot, ha
I used to pity some people, I
Said they were missing a spine, yeah
Maybe the problem is ego
Maybe the
Maybe the problem is mine
Really I’m fine

Don’t get too intimate, don’t get too curious
This is just feeling like it’s not that serious
Stare at the ceiling, feeling delirious
Fuck all your empathy, I want your fury
‘Cause I will just
Tell you I’m better then, better then
Spit out my medicine, medicine, aye
Drunk on adrenaline, -drenaline, aye
And I don’t know why I

Say I hate you when I don’t
Push you when you get too close
It’s hard to laugh when I’m the joke
But I can’t do this on my—
Only you can save me from my lack of self-control
And I won’t make excuses for the pain I caused us both
So thank you for always standing by me even though
Sometimes bad things take the place where good things go
