Never Enough
It sure is tough
When you're never enough
When the silence
Is worse than violence
Each and every day
I just get in my own way
I no longer have tears
Only overwhelming fears
So I turn to the booze
Knowing I'm going to lose
But nobody cares
How I fare
My existence is inconsequential
But somehow living is essential
And despite the strife
I still can't take my own life
My mind is full of sin
But one day I hope to be fine again
But days grow shorter and shadows longer
And my will to live isn't getting stronger
Every friendship I ripped to shreds
I'm alive but my social life is dead
It sure is tough
When you're never enough
But you'll never be enough
And this truth is really tough
When you gave up on yourself
Your heart was put out of reach on the shelf
Closed eyes cannot see
So the heart will never truly be free
But perhaps what makes it so tough
Is knowing you were once good enough
