Good Enough

by Lauren Waszkiewicz   Aug 6, 2010


Forgive me, I'm worthless.
I can never be- enough.
Believe me, truthfully,
it wasn't my intention- to trust
it wasn't in the plan to lust.

I'm not
Good enough
for your
Precious love
You're just too
Good for me
You are too good for me.

It's painful, to see you
'cause you're everything- to me.
Forget me, turn away,
pretend as though I don't- exist
pretend we didn't share that kiss

I'm not
Good enough
for your
Precious love
You're just too
Good for me
You are too good for me.

It's foolish, I know
to think that you and I - could ever be
I'm danger, a carcinogen.
loving me is just a death wish.
loving me is living wreck-less

Why can't you- be wreck-less?
How can you- forget this?
How could you- regret the kiss...

'Cause I am
Good enough
for you
And you should
know it's true
that you are
Good for me
You are good for me too.

    Okay, so, song lyrics are a very different medium to poetry so I'll comment this not looking for metaphor, but for flow, sense, and I'm a human cliche detector, so I'll pick out some too. (:

    'it wasn't my intention- to trust
    it wasn't in the plan to lust. '

    This automatically raises question marks? Wasn't in what plan to lust?

    This makes me suspect that this persona has cheated on somebody, and then the persona states that said person is too good for them, then it almost feels as though the persona is angry towards said person because of 'forget I exist, forget we ever shared that kiss.'

    This is confusing to a great deal, Lauren. Just because every verse seems to contradict the previous.

    Song lyrics are meant to be simple? And the use of carcinogen has baffled me completely. You're a reckless woman who causes cancer?

    Half of this song, the persona seems guilty about something...but this stanza contradicts everything:

    'Why can't you- be wreck-less?
    How can you- forget this?
    How could you- regret the kiss..'

    This is in serious need of reworking.

    Thanks for sharing.
