i will never be enough
A disgrace to the family, I am, I guess.
'Cause that's what I remember that my mother said.
Such a wonderful child who turned into evil.
But I'm not evil, nor wonderful to begin with.
i'm still not enough
"You're old enough, you should know this shit."
"Why can't you just be like a normal person, why are you like this?"
Those words that they gave me kept on repeating, repeating.
But please know that I'm really trying.
i can never be enough
I'm now tired of trying to make people stay.
Trying to satisfy people, what would I gain?
Think it's better to just go far, far away.
Because no matter how hard I try, I can never be enough for them.
