(Soft strumming guitar with steel slide for emotion) (4-bar intro) It’s late again, and we’re trading blame, Dancing in circles, the same old game. Two broken hearts caught in a tug of war, But we both keep coming back for more. (8-Bar Chorus) There’s nothing’s ever good enough for you, And I’m definitely never going to be, even at my best. I’ve poured my heart out, passed every test, But all my love still feels second-best. I’ve tried and tried to make us whole, But it’s never enough, and it’s taking its toll. There’s nothing’s ever good enough for you, And I’m definitely never going to be, even at my best. (12-Bar Verse 1) I’ve done all the household handyman jobs, Fixed the faucet, cleaned the garage. I’ve cleaned the house when it’s a mess, Took down all your Christmas decorations, I confess. Hell, I even made your bed every day, Cooked dinner, did the dishes, made sure the kids were okay. But no matter what I do, it’s like I’m running uphill, You keep moving the goalposts, and I’m standing still. I gave you my best, but you made it clear, I’ll never be enough, not in a million years. (Chorus – 8 Bars) There’s nothing’s ever good enough for you, And I’m definitely never going to be, even at my best. I’ve poured my heart out, passed every test, But all my love still feels second-best. I’ve tried and tried to make us whole, But it’s never enough, and it’s taking its toll. There’s nothing’s ever good enough for you, And I’m definitely never going to be, even at my best. (12-Bar Verse 2) We both keep saying this time is the last, But somehow we can’t outrun the past. Every door we close, we open again, Caught between lovers and never quite friends. You say I’ve let you down, but what about you? Your words cut deep, but I smile and push through. We’re tangled in a love that’s frayed at the seams, Still chasing a future that feels like a dream. Maybe it’s time to lay it to rest, ‘Cause I’ll never be good enough, even at my best. (Chorus – 8 Bars) There’s nothing’s ever good enough for you, And I’m definitely never going to be, even at my best. I’ve poured my heart out, passed every test, But all my love still feels second-best. I’ve tried and tried to make us whole, But it’s never enough, and it’s taking its toll. There’s nothing’s ever good enough for you, And I’m definitely never going to be, even at my best. (4-Bar Outro) (Soft fade with acoustic guitar) So this is where we finally let go, Two hearts that just couldn’t grow. No winners, no losers, just scars in our chest, You’ll never be good enough for me, even at your best.
