Not Enough
SadBoyProlific Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sorry that I′m not enough
Sorry that I just give up
When the going get's tough all I ever do is run
Sorry that I′m not enough
I'm sorry that I just give up
When the going get's tough all I ever do is run
I′m sorry that i′m not enough
I'm not enough

04:00 AM in my room and i′m high again
Always tryna treading cautiously society's a lions den
Feelin′ pain i'm just wishin′ that the shit would end
No one listens so i'm cryin' on the internet
Won′t lie I don′t know where I should go
Got walls and a roof but this house ain't home
Rollin′ up dope I've been outta my zone
I′m downin' in issues i′m outta control
Tell the reaper to take my life with a scythe quick
Why is pain the only thing my brain can siphon
I've been on a journey tryna find some enlightment
And why is death the only concept that gets me excited
So should I stay or should I go that's been on my mind
Feel like you′ll get bored of me I′ll be a waste of time
And thought of you leaven been keepin' me up at night
So tell me that we′re fine and that we'll be alright

Sorry that I′m not enough
Sorry that I just give up
When the going gets tough
All I ever do is run
Sorry that i'm not enough
I′m sorry that I just give up
When the going get's tough all I ever do it run




I'm sorry that i′m not enough
I′m not enough
