Not good enough

Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)



I would really like to forget
My every own misleading step
Every pain that I have ever seen
Everything I've ever been

I know If I do forget
It will haunt me still in bed
Maybe I should never sleep
Maybe it would stop the weep

I know if I gave up dreams
Someone's eyes would give me thrills
It would shine there like a sun
Showing all I've ever done

If I closed my eyes for once
Inside me it still would bounce
In the end I'd have to die
But I know it's not alright

I have just myself
And this is the proof
So I have to wake up
And start to move
Time to open my eyes
And face the truth
I will never be someone
Good enough for you
