Never/Not Good Enough
Why do you care about the color of my hair?
The way I walk, the way I talk?
The metal in my ears or in my face,
Is that why I wasn't good enough to take to your place?
Never noticed when I did good,
I wonder if you even could
You only ever saw the bad,
The chance to prove you wrong I never had
And then you left, poof you were gone
To a life of chaos now I was drawn
When we're together you always put me down
Sitting high upon your horse wearing that ugly crown
Even before you left you were never there for me
To tell me you were proud or that I was smart and pretty
Over the years I've tried and tried
Whatever relationship we had already died
Never having you around I should've known where my life was bound
Making some bad decisions, stumbling, and hitting the ground
Wish you cared enough to have stayed, gave me a pat on the back
Kept me on the right track
Always wondered what it'd be like to have you more in my life
But now I realize that all it causes me is strife
I need to let go but I don't know how
I'll no longer lower my head to you and bow
So this is it my good-bye
There's no more tears left for me to cry
No more struggle inside to fight
Time to move on and live my life right
Break the chain
And end all this pain
The way I walk, the way I talk?
The metal in my ears or in my face,
Is that why I wasn't good enough to take to your place?
Never noticed when I did good,
I wonder if you even could
You only ever saw the bad,
The chance to prove you wrong I never had
And then you left, poof you were gone
To a life of chaos now I was drawn
When we're together you always put me down
Sitting high upon your horse wearing that ugly crown
Even before you left you were never there for me
To tell me you were proud or that I was smart and pretty
Over the years I've tried and tried
Whatever relationship we had already died
Never having you around I should've known where my life was bound

No more struggle inside to fight

Break the chain
And end all this pain
