Good Enough for School


The things you do, make me drown my self in music at night to try and stop the tears.
If only I were good enough.

The things you say about the others, make me want to shatter the glass holding my reflection.
If only I were good enough.

The things you yell to me silently, make me shrivel up into despair.
If only I were good enough.

The things you play, those wicked games, they kill my heart.
If only I were good enough.
