Good Enough

The loneliness bites like venomous snakes
After breaching the skin / It soon overtakes
The antibodies that fight to keep me alive
Only by your side can I survive
But around you I’m vulnerable
In plain view, yet invisible
I’m becoming residue / Intangible too
I would save you so come to my rescue
Why am I never Good Enough for you
For you
I used to be your addiction / One you easily quit
After I was trashed and burned you found a replacement
It isn’t fair / To you I’ve become a stranger
But you’re my proudest achievement and greatest failure
I’ve closed my eyes / Lost sight of light
Acknowledging you possess no contrite
My strength has faded / Hope gone
I gave endlessly so what did I do wrong
Why am I never Good Enough for you
For you
For you
Why am I never Good Enough for you
I bend over backwards for you, but get no compensation
Give me an explanation for not providing your admiration
Either you have trust issues causing our complications
Or you really don’t want us to have any association
Whatever the case / There’s no communication
Your assumptions are giving you the wrong interpretations
In situations that could point to the right direction
Instead we’re going where we have to proceed with discretion
I express myself to you in ways I cannot replicate
And my incentives and compliments almost feel innate
But between us I can’t figure out whose the real prize
I thought it was you, but now I’ve opened my ears and eyes
You let your arrogance take over / You’re so conceited
Won’t accept less than the best / You don’t deserve or need it
Keep on acting like the earth revolves around you
Cause I’m leaving / You and I are done / We’re through
