Good Enough
Evanescence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Under your spell again
I can't say no to you
Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand
I can't say no to you

Shouldn't let you torture me so sweetly
Now I can't let go of this dream
I can't breathe but I feel

Good enough
I feel good enough
For you

Drink up sweet decadence
I can't say no to you
And I've completely lost myself and I don't mind
I can't say no to you

Shouldn't let you conquer me completely
Now I can't let go of this dream
Can't believe that I feel

Good enough
I feel good enough
It's been such a long time coming
But I feel good

And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall
Pour real life down on me
'Cause I can't hold on
To anything this good enough
Am I good enough
For you to love me too?





So take care what you ask of me
'Cause I can't say no

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Evanescence's song Good Enough speaks about being under someone’s spell that they can't resist, even though it hurts them. The singer finds herself continuously drawn to this person, even though they torture and take advantage of her emotions. She knows that she should let go and move on from the relationship, but she can't seem to do it, as she craves their love and affection. The song depicts the singer's journey of finally realizing that she is "good enough" even if the person she loves doesn't see her worth, and she is still waiting for the rain to fall and pour some reality in her life.


The lyrics describe the intense emotions of love and its power to control individuals to the extent that they lose themselves. It showcases the pain, grief, and emotional turmoil that come when individuals can't let go of toxic relationships that they know are not right for them. Moreover, the song highlights the struggle to find self-worth, the journey to self-discovery to overcome difficult situations.

I don't know about the rest of my fellow millennials but her voice makes me feel like I'm still 17, locked in my room because nobody understand me but Evanescence always will. I'm 36 now and their music, her voice, is like comfort music. We're not the "freaks", everyone else is.

Don't ever call our age group millennials. That's a complete insult.

@EvanRockwell1
