About This Track

'Good Behaviour' by Linying is an alternative track from the album 'There Could Be Wreckage Here', released in 2022. The lyrics frame a plea for reassurance amid emotional clutter, with the speaker asking for proof of connection and holding up a public-facing ideal as a form of self-management. The chorus centres on wanting affirmation that comes packaged as “good behavior”, alongside a desire to be received gently, rather than demanded to be harder, sharper, or more certain. It is both managerial and romantic in tone, treating belief as the key that turns private doubt into something shareable.

"Good Behaviour" is a track by Linying, from the album There Could Be Wreckage Here, released 14th January 2022. The track is 4:03 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Good Behaviour

[Chorus]

Let me know if you're receiving

A message in this mess as much as me

God behind my carelessness and

Heaven in the ways that you see me, 'cause

Everybody love my good behavior

Everybody love me softer, sweeter

And you don't really ask for either

You only ask that I believe you

[Verse 1]

And I did, one minute I'm frightened to death

And the next I'm just fighting to confess to 'ya

The wildest images gracing my mind, you and I (Would you believe it?)

Waltzing with bravado, yeah

The sunset sticking to our upper bodies

And the dizzy dive follows

[Verse 2]

And I, I know that it's out of my habit

To be so emphatic

Sometimes it just happens, oh

So the moment you know

Well, just let me know

[Chorus]

Let me know if you're receiving

A message in this mess as much as me

God behind my carelessness and

Heaven in the ways that you see me, 'cause

Everybody love my good behavior

Everybody love me softer, sweeter

And you don't really ask for either

You only ask that I believe you

[Post-Chorus]

So I'll stop the surprise jam-braking

I'll stop all the springtime shit all right

I'll stop it with the self preservation that's pushing me to ask all the same things twice, I know

'Cause I like the way we walk like lovers

And I actually wanna try walk further

I'll say it and I'll say it with you

I'll say it like a true believer

[Verse 3]

And I, I tend to be way more cautionary, yeah

I don't find it all that weird to forget about it

But this time, I'm gone

That's how I know

See, that's how I know (That's how I know)

[Chorus]

Let me know if you're receiving

A message in this mess as much as me

God behind my carelessness and

Heaven in the ways that you see me, 'cause

Everybody love my good behavior

Everybody love me softer, sweeter

And you don't really ask for either

You only ask that I believe you

[Post-Chorus]

So I'll stop the surprise jam-braking

I'll stop all the springtime shit all right

I'll stop it with the self preservation that's pushing me to ask all the same things twice, I know

'Cause I like the way we walk like lovers

And I actually wanna try walk further

I'll say it and I'll say it with you

I'll say it like a true believer
