Never Good Enough
Unrequited Melodies: Love's Pursuit Beyond Reach
Lyrics
I still remember all the words you wrote
The speaker remembers the words written by someone else.
How it's laid down on this heartfelt little song
The emotions expressed in the song are heartfelt and sincere.
All these feelings have been shown
The song conveys various emotions openly.
Of how much you're in love
Expresses deep love for someone.
But the sad part it was never about me
The song wasn't directed toward the speaker, causing sadness.
It hurts to know how real it is to write your feelings in a page
It's painful that genuine feelings were penned for someone else.
I've kept my own shelf full of books it's only where my secrets lay
The speaker has their own secrets stored in books.
Listen for a moment I have dedications too
The speaker has dedications too, but they seem overlooked.
The best lines I have carved so deep was always about you
Lines about the addressee have deeply impacted the speaker.
I wish that it would be the same but for you it's not right
The speaker wishes for mutual feelings but acknowledges it's not reciprocated.
I'm losing sense for what is real but for you it's alright
There's a feeling of losing touch with reality, contrasting with the addressee's acceptance.
I've made my hopes be all for you but you've had your own wishes too
The speaker's hopes were centered on the addressee, who had their own desires.
It's never good enough
Feelings and efforts never seem to meet the addressee's expectations.
If only you could see how much this means
The speaker desires recognition for their emotions.
When all I want is to find my way through
The speaker wishes to navigate through emotions.
These words become mundane
The emotions expressed have become ordinary or routine.
Your worth can't be explained
The value or worth of the addressee is beyond explanation.
Then I guess this would be part of my mistake
The situation might be part of the speaker's mistake.
You said goodbye and took this place when California's my escape
The addressee left, preferring California, which was the speaker's escape.
I set my heart on what's at stake but nothing could erase this fate
The speaker invested emotionally, but fate couldn't change the outcome.
Interrupt me if I'm wrong we're better off apart
The speaker feels it's better to be separated from the addressee.
Go ahead and live your life and I'll be moving on
The addressee is encouraged to live their life while the speaker moves on.
I wish that it would be the same but for you it's not right
Similar to line 10, the desire for mutual feelings is expressed again.
I'm losing sense for what is real but for you it's alright
There's a contrast in perceptions of reality between the speaker and the addressee.
I've made my hopes be all for you but you've had your own wishes too
The speaker's hopes were for the addressee, who had their own aspirations.
It's never good enough
Despite efforts, it's never enough to satisfy the addressee.
Still you linger
The addressee's presence or influence still lingers despite distance or separation.
Close enough to fool me while you pursue someone else
The addressee's actions seem misleading, engaging with others while affecting the speaker.
And it drags the pain for far too long
The pain caused by the addressee's actions prolongs.
For your win
The addressee's actions result in their victory or gain.
I wish that it would be the same but for you it's not right
Similar to previous lines, the desire for mutual feelings is expressed.
I'm losing sense for what is real but for you it's alright
There's a sense of disconnect from reality compared to the addressee's acceptance.
I've made my hopes be all for you but you've had your own wishes too
Similar to lines 10 and 23, the speaker's hopes contrast with the addressee's wishes.
It's never good enough
Efforts are consistently deemed inadequate for the addressee.
