good enough for you
Not Measuring Up: Unrequited Longing in Caitlin Rose's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
You walked in the room
You entered the room
Everything changed
A significant change occurred
I'd see you and try to fix my hair
I would try to look presentable when I saw you
And look the other way
Avoiding direct eye contact
I would try go and talk to you
Attempting to initiate a conversation
But the nerves were catching up
Nervousness hindered my efforts
You would look me in the eye
You would look directly at me
And then I would fall apart
I would become emotionally unstable
Was it the way I wore my hair or the way I smiled?
Questioning if my appearance or smile mattered
Did I try too hard was I too damn awkward to talk to?
Concerns about being too awkward or trying too hard
The way I get butterflies whenever you say hello
Feeling butterflies when you greeted me
Well I just guess I wasn't good enough for you
Realizing I wasn't deemed good enough for you
I know that you're moving on
Acknowledging your movement towards someone new
With somebody new
Accepting your new romantic connection
I'm happy that your falling in love
Expressing happiness for your new love
Just like I was with you
Similar to my past feelings for you
It's hurting right now but I know
Experiencing pain but anticipating future healing
I will move on someday soon
Believing in the possibility of moving on
I just feel stupid caring so much
Feeling foolish for caring intensely
When you didn't feel the same
Realizing the disparity in feelings
Was it the way I wore my hair or the way I smiled?
Reflecting on the impact of appearance and demeanor
Did I try too hard was I too damn awkward to talk to?
Concerns about being too awkward or trying too hard persist
The way I get butterflies whenever you say hello
Butterflies persist despite the one-sided feelings
Well I just guess I wasn't good enough
Reiterating not being good enough for you
Was I not pretty enough?
Questioning personal attractiveness
Did I do something wrong?
Uncertainty about potential mistakes
Or maybe it wasn't meant to be
Contemplating if the relationship wasn't meant to be
Was I not pretty enough?
Reiteration of feeling not pretty enough
Did I do something wrong?
Revisiting the idea of personal mistakes
Or maybe it wasn't meant to be Yeah
Doubting if the relationship had a destined outcome
Was it the way I wore my hair or the way I smiled?
Reflection on appearance and demeanor's impact persists
Did I try too hard was I too damn awkward to talk to?
Ongoing concerns about awkwardness and effort
The way I get butterflies whenever you say hello
Butterflies persist despite the unreciprocated affection
Well I just guess I wasn't good enough
Final acknowledgment of not being good enough for you
Was it the way I wore my hair or the way I smiled?
Revisiting the impact of appearance and demeanor
Did I try too hard was I too damn awkward to talk to?
Persistent concerns about awkwardness and effort
The way I get butterflies whenever you say hello
Continued presence of butterflies despite the imbalance
Well I just guess I wasn't good enough for you
Final realization of not meeting your expectations
Oh for you
Not meeting the standards set by you
Good enough for you
Confirmation of not being good enough for you
