Lyrics

Not good enough
Not good enough
Not good enough
I never asked for much, just for someone to see me
Tried to hold my space but you made sure it was empty
Reaching out, pressing out, getting nothing in return
You smiled at me just long enough to watch it burn
You didn't have to say it, I could read it in the room
The way you looked right through me was enough to seal the tomb
Made for ridicule, made for being left behind
You didn't have to convince me
You confirmed what was in my mind
Not chosen, not seen
Just a ghost between the walls
Falling through the cracks
Of every room I've ever walked
Not good enough
For them, for it, for you, for me, for peace
Not good enough for
Not good enough
For God, for him, for her, for them, for grace
Not good enough for
Not good enough
For love, for light, for joy, for life
Just not good enough
You said the words, didn't mean a thing you said
By the time I heard the silence you were gone instead
Didn't have the spine to tell me, kept me watching from the side
While you chased the one who mattered, I was just the alibi
You could have said it plainly, could have cut it clean and fast
But you let me stand there holding something broken from the past
Didn't matter, didn't register, didn't earn a second look
Just a name you couldn't finish in a story that you took
Not chosen, not seen
Just a ghost between the walls
Falling through the cracks
Of every room I've ever walked
Not good enough
For them, for it, for you, for me, for peace
Not good enough for
Not good enough
For God, for him, for her, for them, for grace
Not good enough for
Not good enough
For love, for light, for joy, for life
Just not good enough
I built everything I had just to bring it to your door
Handed you my work and waited, you walked past it on the floor
Said my interests weren't worth keeping, said the things I loved were wrong
Spent your time with someone better, I was static, he was song
One word, just one, that was all I needed from you
Not correction, not a lesson, just acknowledgment it's true
But you gave your time away to someone easier to claim
You showed me what I was worth, and I never lost that weight
I was never going to be enough for you
Was never going to reach the line you drew
Every door I found you locked it through
Was never going to be enough
Not good enough
Not good enough
Not good enough
Not good enough
For them, for it, for you, for me, for peace
Not good enough for
Not good enough
For God, for him, for her, for them, for grace
Not good enough for
Not good enough
For love, for light, for joy, for life
Just not good enough
A stranger, alone, desolate, unknown
An outcast in my own home
A stranger, alone, desolate, unknown
An outcast in my own home
