Never Enough
Treated Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Promise me please
If you leave just let it rain
Cause as soon as I drown
I make sure I’ll forget this pain
Strike a match and burn it down
Cause it held you back for far too long
All this wrong places, all these wrong faces
This is my time of letting go
Years passing by
There’s no hope for tomorrow
I still need to try
Now I know
I was never enough, I was never enough
If the time stood still, you’d just stand there and stare
What are you waiting for, what are you waiting for
I was meant for something more
This is my time time of letting go
This is my time time of letting go
I’m looking ahead
I’m still longing for more
I’m still blind to see the truth
I still need to try
Now I know
I was never enough, I was never enough
If the time stood still, you’d just stand there and stare
What are you waiting for, what are you waiting for
I was meant for something more
Strike a match and burn it down
Cause it held you back for far too long
Strike a match and burn it down
Cause it held you back for far too long
I was never enough, I was never enough
If the time stood still, you’d just stand there and stare




What are you waiting for, what are you waiting for
I was meant for something more
