Good Enough for You – Yosef Rosenfield

Lyrics:

On this field of play, you’re the referee…
Every other day, your whistle blows at me.
Why do you need to show that I’m a step below?
Will you ever set me free…?

Chorus:
Cuz you make me feel like I’m the one who’s stepping out of line –
Sorry, but I ain’t even trying…
It seems like all hell breaks loose with everything I do,
But I’ll never be good enough for you.

You don’t seem to care about anyone but yourself –
Saying it’s a sin to share, but what about everybody else…?
Cuz in this messed up game, or whatever it is we’re playing,
I can never get ahead…

(Chorus)

If being a little more like me and just a little less like you
Is gonna ruin your happiness, then I guess I want it to…
You make nice when it’s long distance but take shots when you’re at home,
Cuz you don’t want someone to love – no, you want something you can own.
And we both know what can’t be known…

Still, you make me feel like I’m the one who’s stepping out of line –
Sorry, but I ain’t even trying…
It seems like all hell breaks loose with everything I do,
Cuz I’ll never be good enough for you…

Cuz you make me feel like I’m the one who’s stepping out of line –
Newsflash: no one here is trying…
Don’t you realize there’s no use controlling what I do,
Cuz I’ll never be good enough for you…

No, I’ll never be good enough for you.
