enough for you
Olivia Rodrigo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I thought you'd like me more
If I looked like the other prom queens
I know that you loved before
Tried so hard to be everything that you like
Just for you to say you're not the compliment type
And I knew how you took your coffee
I read all of your self-help books so you'd think that I was smart
Stupid, emotional, obsessive little me
I knew from the start this is exactly how you'd leave
You found someone more exciting
The next second, you were gone
And you left me there cryin', wonderin' what I did wrong
And you always say I'm never satisfied
But I don't think that's true
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough for you
Yeah, all I ever wanted was to be enough for you
And maybe I'm just not as interesting as the girls you had before
But God, you couldn't have cared less about
Someone who loved you more
I'd say you broke my heart
But you broke much more than that
Now, I don't want your sympathy
I just want myself back
Before you found someone more exciting
The next second, you were gone
And you left me there cryin', wonderin' what I did wrong
You always say I'm never satisfied
But I don't think that's true
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough
Don't you think I loved you too much
To be used and discarded?
Don't you think I loved you too much
To think I deserve nothing?
But don't tell me you're sorry, boy
Feel sorry for yourself
'Cause someday, I'll be everything to somebody else
And they'll think that I'm so exciting
And you'll be the one who's cryin'
Yeah, you always say I'm never satisfied
But I don't think that's true
You say I'm never satisfied
But that's not me, it's you
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough
But I don't think anything could ever be enough
For you
Enough for you
No, nothing's enough for you
Olivia Rodrigo's song "enough for you" portrays a failed relationship where Olivia was desperate to be enough for her partner, but ultimately fell short. In the first verse, she reveals that while they were dating, she tried to change herself to fit her partner's preferences. She wore makeup and tried to look like the other prom queens that her partner had dated before. Olivia also read self-help books and tried to be everything that her partner liked, hoping to receive a compliment from him. However, her efforts were futile, and her partner never complimented her.
The second verse reveals that Olivia knew her partner's favorite things, his coffee order and favorite songs, yet despite all that, he left her for someone more exciting. Even when Olivia loved her partner more than any other girl he had been with, he couldn't care less about her. Olivia acknowledges that he broke her heart, and she is still crying, trying to figure out what went wrong. Olivia's partner always told her she was never satisfied, but she believes that she only wanted to be enough for him.
In the bridge, Olivia questions whether her partner loved her or just used and discarded her. Olivia believes she deserves better than someone who does not appreciate her love. Olivia tells her partner not to feel sorry for her but to feel sorry for himself because someday she will be everything to somebody else, and he will be the one crying.
Overall, the song "enough for you" reveals the emotional turmoil of a person trying desperately to please their partner, only to end up alone and broken-hearted.
Line by Line Meaning
I wore make-up when we dated
'Cause I thought you'd like me more
If I looked like the other prom queens
I know that you loved before
I changed myself to be more like your previous love interests, hoping to gain your approval and affection.
Tried so hard to be everything that you like
Just for you to say you're not the compliment type
I put in a lot of effort to please you, but you didn't even acknowledge or appreciate it by giving compliments.
And I knew how you took your coffee
And your favourite songs by heart
I read all of your self-help books so you'd think that I was smart
Stupid, emotional, obsessive little me
I knew from the start this is exactly how you'd leave
I paid close attention to everything you liked and tried to impress you with my knowledge and intelligence. Despite all of my efforts, I always knew deep down it wouldn't be enough to keep you.
You found someone more exciting
The next second, you were gone
And you left me there cryin', wonderin' what I did wrong
You left me immediately after finding someone you deemed more exciting, and I was left devastated and questioning what I had done wrong.
And you always say I'm never satisfied
But I don't think that's true
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough for you
Yeah, all I ever wanted was to be enough for you
You accuse me of never being satisfied but all I truly wanted was to be enough for you, and it hurts that I could never reach that bar no matter what I did.
And maybe I'm just not as interesting as the girls you had before
But God, you couldn't have cared less about
Someone who loved you more
I'd say you broke my heart
But you broke much more than that
Now, I don't want your sympathy
I just want myself back
Maybe I wasn't as exciting as the girls in your past, but I loved you more deeply than anyone else, and you didn't appreciate or reciprocate that love. You didn't just break my heart, you broke my spirit, and I just want to heal and regain my sense of self.
Don't you think I loved you too much
To be used and discarded?
Don't you think I loved you too much
To think I deserve nothing?
But don't tell me you're sorry, boy
Feel sorry for yourself
'Cause someday, I'll be everything to somebody else
I loved you too much to be treated as disposable and worthless. I don't want your empty apologies; you should feel sorry for losing someone who loved you so deeply. Someday, someone else will see my worth and love me for who I am.
And they'll think that I'm so exciting
And you'll be the one who's cryin'
Yeah, you always say I'm never satisfied
But I don't think that's true
You say I'm never satisfied
But that's not me, it's you
Someone else will find me exciting and captivating, and you'll be the one regretting your choices. You claim I'm never satisfied, but it's not my fault that you never made me feel like I was enough.
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough
But I don't think anything could ever be enough
For you
Enough for you
No, nothing's enough for you
Despite all of my attempts to win your approval and love, nothing could ever truly be enough for you. You were always chasing after something else, and I was left feeling inadequate and unloved.

@TheAxolotlMan2
'Enough for You' school bestie version.
I wore makeup when I visited
‘Cause I thought you’d like me more
If I looked like the other pretty girls
I know that you liked before
Tried so hard to be everything that you liked
Just for you to say you’re not the compliment type
And I knew how you took your schoolwork
And your favourite books by heart
I copied all your answers
So you’d think that I was smart
Stupid, emotional, obsessive little me
I knew from the start this is exactly how you’d leave
You found someone more exciting
The next second you were gone
And you left me there cryin’, wonderin’ what I did wrong
And you always say I’m never satisfied
But I don’t think that’s true
‘Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough for you
And all I ever wanted was to be enough for you
And maybe I’m just not as interesting
As the friends you had before
But God, you couldn’t have cared less
About someone who liked you more
I’d say you broke my trust
But you broke much more than that
Now I don’t want your sympathy
I just want myself back
Before you found someone more exciting
The next second you were gone
And you left me there cryin’, wonderin’ what I did wrong
And you always say I’m never satisfied
But I don’t think that’s true
‘Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough
Don’t you think I loved you too much to be used and discarded?
Don’t you think I loved you too much to think I deserve nothing?
But don’t tell me you’re sorry, girl
Feel sorry for yourself
‘Cause someday I’ll be everything to somebody else
And they’ll think that I’m so exciting
And you’ll be the one who’s crying
Yeah, you you always say I'm never satisfied
But I don't think that's true
You say I'm never satisfied
But that's not me, it's you
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough
But I don't think anything could ever be enough
For you, enough for you, oh-oh
No, nothing's enough for you
Really fits the present moment in my life, lol.
