Never Enough
Good & Broken Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I lose my way at every turn
And in the end I never learn
I might be selfish now
But I won't allow
Myself to get hurt
Words of hatred we've exchanged
Time has passed and things still haven't changed
I think back to the time

When I thought you were mine
It's too late

It was never enough
To ever be loved
Together was once
On my mind

It's something that you never had
I found it in me and now I have it bad
The things that you swore you'd become
I start to feel my body numb
(But still I remember)

It was never enough
To ever be loved
Together was once
On my mind

I never know how you feel
I never know when its real
Theres nothing that you can say to change my mind
Nothing else I can do
Inside I always knew you weren't true
You were never mine

I don't wanna pretend anymore
I won't sit here and try to ignore
Is this the only thing that you ever wanted me for (wanted me for)

(It was never enough)
To ever be loved
Together was once
On my mind
(x2)

I don't wanna pretend anymore
I won't sit here and try to ignore
No I don't wanna pretend anymore
the only thing that you ever wanted me for

I don't wanna pretend anymore

I won't sit here and try to ignore
You were never mine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Never Enough" by Good & Broken express feelings of disappointment, self-realization, and the end of a relationship. The singer admits to losing their way repeatedly and making the same mistakes, suggesting a lack of personal growth and learning from past experiences. They acknowledge their own selfishness but refuse to allow themselves to be hurt any longer. The song implies a history of exchanging words filled with hatred, indicating a toxic and unresolved conflict between the singer and their partner.

The singer reflects on a time when they believed their partner belonged to them, but now it feels too late to hold onto that illusion. They realize that being loved by their partner was never enough, and being together was just a fleeting thought. Instead, they have discovered something within themselves, something they desperately long for, but it has left them feeling numb. The lyrics hint at unfulfilled promises made by the partner, creating a sense of betrayal and disappointment.

The singer admits to never truly knowing how the partner feels or when their love is genuine. They come to the realization that there is nothing the partner can say to change their mind. Within themselves, they always knew the partner wasn't true, reinforcing their feeling of being taken for granted and never truly belonging to the person they loved.

In the end, the singer rejects the idea of pretending and ignoring the truth any longer. They refuse to be used solely for the partner's desires. The repetition of "I don't wanna pretend anymore" emphasizes their refusal to continue living in a facade and their determination to face the reality that the partner never truly saw them as theirs.
