Never Enough
Josh Olsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I drink down
And drown
And end up on my face
I’m paralyzed, I’m stuck in this tide
I know myself it’s always me in second place
I’m on top of the world but you pull me down
Tell me why we were never enough
How can it be that you’ve given up
Is it just me?
Am I crazy for thinking you were in Love?
Tell me why we were never enough
We’re looking at the stars
When you say you need space
So I figured it out your only in it for the chase
Your satisfied so push me aside
I know myself it’s always me in second place
I’m on top of the world but you pull me down
Tell me how does it feel when I’m not around
Tell me why we were never enough
How can it be that you’ve given up
Is it just me?
Am I crazy for thinking you were in Love?
Tell me why we were never enough
Tell me why we were never enough
In Josh Olsen's song "Never Enough," the lyrics convey a sense of heartbreak and frustration in a relationship that is constantly falling short. The singer reflects on a situation that feels like it belongs to another time and place, where they find solace in drinking but end up feeling overwhelmed and defeated. They recognize their own patterns of always coming in second place and feeling trapped in this cycle. Despite the singer feeling on top of the world, their partner continually brings them down and makes them question their worth. The chorus expresses the singer's confusion and desire for answers: why were they never enough for their partner? They wonder if they are crazy for believing that their partner was in love, or if they misread the situation entirely.
