Enough
Yearning for Acceptance: Lost Dakota's Emotional Quest in 'Enough'
Lyrics
What can I do when my happiness can't find her own
The singer feels helpless because their partner is unable to find happiness on their own.
I know you, I can tell you still don't feel at home
Despite knowing the person well, they sense that their partner still doesn't feel comfortable or settled.
And you say it isn't me that's making you feel empty
The partner denies that the singer is causing their feelings of emptiness.
But if it isn't me, an answer's all I need, just tell me
The singer needs an answer to understand the cause of their partner's emptiness, even if it's not directly related to them.
Just tell me
Reiteration of the request for an explanation or answer.
Just tell me what you need from me
The singer wants to know what actions they can take to fulfill their partner's needs.
You know I'd give you everything
Expressing the willingness to provide everything for their partner.
But I can't read your mind when you say that you're fine
The singer can't understand their partner's feelings when they say they're okay.
And I hear you crying late at night
The singer hears their partner crying at night, indicating hidden pain or sorrow.
What can I do
The singer feels powerless and seeks a solution to help their partner.
I just want to be enough for you
The singer desires to be sufficient and satisfactory for their partner.
What can I say when you want to run away from here
Recognizing the partner's desire to escape and searching for the right words to keep them from leaving.
If you stay, I'd hold you close, let your fears disappear
Promising comfort and support if the partner chooses to stay.
Cause when your mind goes dark and you want to hide
Addressing the partner's tendency to internalize pain and hide emotions.
You'll want to store all your pent up pain inside
The partner's inclination to keep their emotional turmoil hidden rather than expressing it openly.
I'd never want to make you to feel so alone
The singer doesn't want their partner to feel isolated or alone due to their emotions.
Help me turn this house into a home
Seeking collaboration to create a comfortable and welcoming environment.
Just tell me what you need from me
Reiteration of willingness to provide everything the partner needs.
You know I'd give you everything
Expressing difficulty in understanding the partner's true feelings when they claim to be fine.
But I can't read your mind when you say that you're fine
The singer hears their partner crying at night, indicating hidden pain or sorrow.
And I hear you crying late at night
Feeling helpless and searching for ways to be enough for their partner.
What can I do
Reiteration of the desire to fulfill the partner's needs.
I just want to be enough for you
Desire to be sufficient and satisfactory for their partner.
I just want to be
Repeated desire to be enough for the partner, emphasizing the sentiment.
I just want to be
-I just want to be
-Enough for you
-Just tell me what you need from me
Requesting guidance on how to fulfill the partner's needs.
You know I'd give you everything
Expressing willingness to provide everything necessary for the partner.
But I can't read your mind when you say that you're fine
Expressing difficulty in understanding the partner's true feelings when they claim to be fine.
And I hear you crying late at night
