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
