If I'm Enough
Mathew V Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm still afraid of the dark
Be my one and only, don't you leave me lonely
And I can put hand on my heart
With me tied and only, no, don't let me go yet
I kept two feet on the ground
Now my world is turning, and my fire's burning
Everything's changed now you're gone
And I don't know if I'm enough
For your tears be heard inside
If I'm enough for you if you break in two
If I'm enough to be the one for you
If I'm enough, if I'm enough for
If I'm enough, if I'm enough for
If I'm enough, if I'm enough for

I take the chance for your touch
Caught up in the riptide, turned up on the inside
Baby, come watching my love
I just need for you to, turn the beat be with you
I don't know what I'm supposed to say, oh no no no no
To make you look my way, oh

And I don't know if I'm enough
For your tears be heard inside
If I'm enough for you if you break in two
If I'm enough to be the one for you
Because you're my world
And it leaves me broken down inside
If I'm enough if I've nothing left to lose
If I'm enough to be the one for you
If I'm enough, if I'm enough for

I don't know
If I'm enough, if I'm enough for
And I don't know
If I'm enough, if I'm enough for
I don't know
If I'm enough, if I'm enough for
And I don't know
If I'm enough, if I'm enough for
I don't know
If I'm enough, if I'm enough for
And I don't know
If I'm enough, if I'm enough for
I don't know
If I'm enough, if I'm enough for




And I don't know
If I'm enough, if I'm enough for

Line by Line Meaning

I'm still afraid of the dark
Despite being grown-up, I still harbor a fear of the darkness that surrounds me


Be my one and only, don't you leave me lonely
I crave for the comfort of being with someone who loves me truly and will not leave me feeling miserable and alone


And I can put hand on my heart
I swear that what I'm about to say is true and comes straight from my heart


With me tied and only, no, don't let me go yet
Please stay with me, holding my hand and not let go even when I'm vulnerable and weak


I kept two feet on the ground
I maintained a realistic approach, not letting my emotions cloud my judgment


Now my world is turning, and my fire's burning
Ever since you came into my life, it's like my world has transformed and my passion has been reignited


Everything's changed now you're gone
Now that you have left me, everything seems to be in disarray and out of place


And I don't know if I'm enough
I constantly doubt if I have what it takes to be the person you need in your life


For your tears be heard inside
I'm not sure if I'm enough to comfort you and console you when you cry


If I'm enough for you if you break in two
I'm uncertain if I can be strong enough to hold you together when you feel like falling apart


If I'm enough to be the one for you
I'm unsure if I'm the perfect fit for you, to be the one you can rely on and love forever


If I'm enough, if I'm enough for
My mind is consumed with doubts and questions about whether I have what it takes


I take the chance for your touch
I'm willing to take a risk just to feel your warm embrace and the tender touch of your skin


Caught up in the riptide, turned up on the inside
I'm struggling to keep my inner turmoil at bay, and it's like the force of my emotions is pulling me under


Baby, come watching my love
Please observe and take heed of the love I have for you, which is yours for the taking


I just need for you to, turn the beat be with you
All I need is for you to allow your heart to beat in sync with mine, so that we can be in harmony and perfect alignment


I don't know what I'm supposed to say, oh no no no no
I'm at a loss for words, and I don't know how to profess my love and feelings to you convincingly


To make you look my way, oh
If only I could get you to notice and pay attention to me


Because you're my world
You mean everything to me, and my entire world revolves around you


And it leaves me broken down inside
But the thought of losing you or not being enough for you causes me immense pain and leaves me feeling shattered from within


If I'm enough if I've nothing left to lose
Even if I have nothing else going for me, I still wonder if I'm enough for you to love and accept me


If I'm enough to be the one for you
I still question if I have what it takes to be the one for you, to fulfill your expectations and make you happy


I don't know
I'm still uncertain and confused, with no clear answers in sight


And I don't know
My doubts and fears persist, and I still have no definite conclusion to my questions
