enough
Good Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Till they make it big and it's home now
I don't wanna let my only fan down
It's so lame
To hate the place where you grew up
But I feel this way
And I've noticed a pattern
I'm not the only one
There's not enough glue to fix those cracks
You wonder why I run and don't look back
Well
No one really fucks with their hometown
Till they make it big and it's home now
I don't wanna let my only fan down
But I won't even make it if I sell out
She says I'm almost good enough to sell out
I don't like places
I like people
And I don't like people
Who make me sad
That's why I don't intend
To return
Until I've earned the right to brag
Cause
No one really fucks with their hometown
Till they make it big and it's home now
I don't wanna let my only fan down
But baby I just think that it's too late now
She swears I'm almost good enough to sell out
The place I'm at is not my home
Not where I was born or where I want to grow old
I wanna be with my girl at any other part of the world
And I
I can't wait
To get home and complain
About the state I grew up in
About the state that I am in
Cause no one really fucks with their hometown
Till they make it big and it's home now
I don't wanna let my only fan
Down
No one really fucks with their hometown
Till they make it big and it's home now
I don't wanna let my only fan down
When I won't even make it if I sell out
She says I'm almost good enough to sell out
And though I fear that it's a little late now
I think I'm almost good enough to find out

Line by Line Meaning
It wasn't enough
Despite my efforts, it wasn't enough
I will try to believe in the things I cannot see
Having faith in the intangible is difficult, but I'll try
But my faith is shaking now like it's never been before
My beliefs are wavering, which is new to me
When I call
When I need help
And you don't come
And you're not there for me
I don't know what I should do
I'm at a loss for what steps to take next
Should I call?
Should I reach out again?
Should I even count on you?
Can I rely on you at all?
I'm giving all I can
I'm doing everything I possibly can
To keep you in my hands
To maintain our connection
Should I give up?
Perhaps it's time to let go
I try to understand
I'm attempting to comprehend the situation
Was it ever enough?
Did I do everything I could?
I don't understand
I'm struggling to comprehend
With my back against the wall
Feeling helpless and trapped
Afraid to show you
Scared to be vulnerable
Afraid to tell you
Scared to voice my thoughts and feelings
I don't know you like I did
Our relationship has changed
I've never been so alone
I feel completely isolated
I've never felt so insecure
I lack confidence in myself
And now I don't know where I'm going
I'm uncertain about my future
In my life I'm not so sure
I lack clarity and direction
Giving up tonight
Considering ending things tonight
I won't let go
Refusing to give up on this
Want to show you
Desire to express myself and make things right
Am I giving up?
Questioning if this is really me giving up
Everything you want from me
I've tried to be everything for you
I fought so hard for everything
I put a lot of effort into this
I tried so hard could never be
Even with effort I couldn't make things work
Anything you want from me
I tried to provide everything you needed
I gave it all
I did all that I could

I gave you all of me
But it still ain't enough to make you happy
I gave you everything
It still don't measure up
It feels like I walked five thousand miles
And didn't even come close
It feels like I try to make you smile
But you don't even care, no
I'll never be big enough to pay your dues
But I keep trying
And you just keep on making me jump through hoops
What do I gotta do?
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be worth your love
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough
And see that I can be, yeah
Good enough (Good enough)
Good enough (Good enough)
Good enough (Good enough)
Oh, whoa (Good enough, I can be good enough)
(Good enough, I can be good enough) That I can be
(Good enough, I can be good enough) Good enough
(Good enough, I can be good enough)
I try to show you that I'm strong
Why do I even bother?
'Cause it's the same old damn song
And you call yourself a father, whoa
Feels like I'm reaching for the stars
But Heaven isn't letting me
I wish that I had longer arms
But I know that will never be, never be
I'll never be big enough to pay your dues
But I keep trying
And you just keep on making me jump through hoops
What do I gotta do?
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be worth your love
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough (Enough), good enough (Enough)
Good enough
And see that I can be, yeah
Good enough (Good enough)
Good enough, good enough (Good enough)
Good enough (Look at me)
I'm standing right here waiting for you, here I am
(Look at me)
Lookin' for your acceptance, do you give a damn?
(Look at me)
See, it doesn't matter what you think, I'm still a man
(Look at me)
Open up your eyes, can't you see that I'm good enough? (Whoa, whoa)
I just want you to look at me (Look at me)
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough, good enough
I just wanna be, yeah
Good enough, good enough, good enough
Good enough
