LYRICS

Enough

When she wakes up she hits her head on the stars
When she goes to sleep, so many goals to meet, never gets far
Trying, working, thinking, fighting all day
But nothing's paid off, oh, just fake it tough, dreams roll away

The secrets she hides are not satisfied with this life
Words stain her soul, she's always been told, "well, you tried"
Tears fly away, there's nothing to say but just
What do you do when your best isn't enough?

This time for sure she can prove herself
Exhausted and hurt, she's always yearned for luck to be dealt
Every time she tries it doesn't follow through
Well each try's denied and she's starting to believe it's true

Hard on herself, she can't mess it up
It's not black and white, but she thinks it's right, losing trust
Someone else lights up the world instead
Jealous and broken, she walks home and buries her head
