Come out and play

Quit hiding in fear

Let me drown it all away

Give me love dear

It’s all I’ve asked for

Stop choking life away

I’m breathing

I’m living

Trying so hard to feel your pain

Trying to understand in vain

Nothing works

No matter what I’ve done

I’m just not good enough

I’m just not good enough

I’m just not good enough

I see your piercing stare

Your judging eyes

I’m no longer a prize

But something to destroy

I am weak, you employ

Sabotage every last shred of dignity

Ripping out my heart

Slice away our love

Deep wounds of our love

Can I heal

I don’t know

I want to die

Here all alone

I’m not good enough

I’m not good enough

I’m not good enough

So kill me with your eyes

Send me the daggers of hatred

I know you loathe me

I feel the knife in my chest

When your eyes stare at me

You don’t have to touch it

It’s there

I’m not good enough

I’m not good enough

I’m not good enough

We know this

After everything I’ve done

All that we’ve been through

You’re throwing it all away

Just with one look

I read your eyes

I know I will survive

Was that good enough?
