If I'm Enough
Mathew V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

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

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

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
