Lyrics:
I wear a smile
and a proper attitude on me
To show you how
today I am feeling terrific
Why don’t you see?
I am just pretending to be
Flawless and emotionless

But there’s something going on with me, yeah
Going on with me, well
Tons of things that I drag
heavily like a convict's ball
I won’t disagree, yeah
I won’t disagree, well
You know, I love,
to ruin everything I believed in
To mess up and throw it all away
I’m sorry honey but I
have to admit that I’ve tried
I’ve tried to feel good

Few months later,
here I am, just still dealing with this
The fortress that
I’ve built just no longer exists
Why can’t you see?
I feel like a naked baby
Vulnerable and assailable
Cuz there’s something going on with me, yeah
Going on with me, well
They’ve always loved to
ruin everything I believed in
To mess up and throw it all away
I’m sorry honey but I
have to admit that I’ve tried

But I can't spend one more night exhausting you
With my incapacity to face up to this reality
I’m going to face the fact that
I’ll never be good enough
Not enough for you

I'll never be good enough for anyone
Never been good enough for me
My mind called me and told me so

I’m going to face the fact that
I’ll mess up and throw it all away
I’m sorry honey but I
have to admit that I’ve tried
But I can't spend one more night exhausting you
With my incapacity to face up to this reality
I’m going to face the fact that
I’ll never be good enough
and never feel good
