too good
Abbie Gamboa
The Unwavering Goodness of Unconditional Love
Abbie Gamboa's song "too good" delves into the profound and often overwhelming nature of unconditional love. The lyrics reflect a deep introspection, where the narrator grapples with their own insecurities and doubts. The repeated line, "Sometimes I think that I think that I think too much," captures the essence of overthinking and self-doubt. Despite these feelings, the narrator finds solace in the realization that their thoughts and words are valued, as expressed in the line, "Then I remember that You love it when I talk." This suggests a relationship where open communication is cherished, and the listener is encouraged to be their authentic self without fear of judgment.
The chorus, "You're too good to be true," emphasizes the almost surreal nature of this unwavering love. The narrator is in awe of the consistency and patience shown by the other party, even when they themselves falter. The lines, "Why aren't You mad? Why aren't You angry? I said I'd come, but I left You waiting," highlight moments of self-perceived failure and the expectation of disappointment. However, the consistent response of love and understanding defies these expectations, reinforcing the theme of unconditional love.
As the song progresses, the narrator acknowledges the steadfast nature of this love, stating, "I don't foresee You changing anytime soon." This line, along with, "You've been this way ever since I met You," underscores the reliability and enduring quality of the relationship. The song beautifully captures the journey of recognizing and accepting a love that remains constant, regardless of one's own imperfections. It serves as a reminder of the power of unconditional love and the comfort it brings in moments of self-doubt and uncertainty.
