She's Too Good for Me
Unworthy Love: Warren Zevon's Tale of Heartbreak
Lyrics
I could hold my head up high
I could maintain my self-respect
And say that I left first
Claiming that I ended the relationship first
Or I can hang my head and cry
Alternatively, I could feel shame and cry
Tell me which is worse
Asking which option is more painful
If you go and ask her why
If you inquire about our breakup to her
She might say she's not sure
Her response might be uncertain
Trust me when I tell you why,
But believe me when I explain
I'm not good enough for her
I feel inadequate and not deserving of her
I want her to be happy
I desire her happiness
I want her to be free
I wish for her to have freedom
I want her to be everything,
I want her to possess everything
She couldn't be with me
That she couldn't attain with me
I'd wait here for a thousand years,
I'd patiently wait for an extended period
If she'd come back to me
If she would return to me
I have everything she wants,
Despite having all that she desires
And nothing that she needs
I lack what she truly needs
I want her to be happy
I desire her happiness (repeated)
I want her to be free
I wish for her to have freedom (repeated)
I want her to be everything,
I want her to possess everything (repeated)
She couldn't be with me
That she couldn't attain with me (repeated)
I could hold me head up high
I could maintain my self-respect (repeated)
And say that I left first
Claiming that I ended the relationship first (repeated)
Or I can hang my head and cry
Alternatively, I could feel shame and cry (repeated)
Tell me which is worse
Asking which option is more painful (repeated)
If you go and ask her why
If you inquire about our breakup to her (repeated)
She might say she's not sure
Her response might be uncertain (repeated)
Trust me when I tell you why,
But believe me when I explain (repeated)
I'm not good enough for her
I feel inadequate and not deserving of her (repeated)
