Good Enough for You

I nearly let my mind go to keep my heart intact

But in the end I let the latter break

Because I knew I would not get the former back

I saw everything so clear and bright as there I lay, shadowy and pale

Lord knows how I tried to be what you wanted

And he knows even better how I failed

The hardest thing I ever had to do

Was admit that I'm not good enough for you

The airplane took off heading south as I looked off to the east

Try as I might to relax my mouth

I could not find the usual release

Now I'm stuck here in this grim little room, with no distraction from my fear

Left my love this morning choking on my dust

Now I'm wishing to God that he was here

Need some sweet lovin' to help me through

The revelation that I'm not good enough for you

Bravado unfounded, perennial self-doubt going strong

Just when I thought I had my demons weeded out

I find they've been growing with me all along

I decked out my landscape in an array so rich and fine

Moral strong and culture deep

It was beautiful but it was not mine

Now that my tender roots are showing through

I need some sweet lovin' to help me through

'Cause the hardest thing I ever had to do

Was admit that I'm not good enough for you
