You tried to change me
Tried to make me
What you wanted me to be
An angel
With some plastic
Never enough
I was never enough
Never pretty enough
Never smart enough
Never good enough
To earn your love
You told me
I had to change my ways
I had to get a better face
I had to learn how to behave
How to be acceptable
To society
When I went out with you
I felt like I may as well have been
A dog on a leash
A doll in a box
Taken out when you wanted something
By your side
But you never looked inside of me
You never cared to see
Who I was with nothing
You try to buy me
You try to dine me
You tried to win me
Seduce me
With your fancy cars
With your money and your fame
But all your stuff
Will never be enough
To buy me
Cause my love is free
And I don’t care what you think
Or what you say I need
Cause there is nothing you can own
That will be enough
To make me
Feel something for you
So you take me and you try to
Convince me that your way
Is the only one
But I am leaving today
Cause I wont stay around and hear you try
To lie to me I don’t want to be
Part of your collection
I don’t want to be part of your world
Cause its rotting away
And I would rather have nothing
And be free today
Cause I already had enough
For years I WAS told I would never amount
To anything
Spent hours believing I was worthless
I was told I was nothing
No one would love me cause I wasn’t good enough
Smart enough,
pretty enough,
rich enough,
young enough,
old enough,
always a reason why
I wasn’t supposed to be happy with my life
The words spoken so carelessly
Of the ones who I respected who I loved
Like knives they cut through my dreams
Made it hard to believe
That I would ever be good enough
But then one day I learned
to say
Who cares what they think anyways
Never enough
Never enough
We will never feel
Like we are complete
Unless we learn
It will
Never be enough
And there is always a reason
why we aren’t supposed to be content with life
Never enough money,
never enough beauty,
a never-ending game we can never win
The battle is in me cause I know
I will never have enough or be enough or have enough
Nothing is enough
Cause if I was living for everybody else
How could I know myself
Who am I without a heart what am I if I lose that part
Even though sometimes its rough
And I feel all alone
I found something there when I stopped trying
To be what someone else wanted to see
When I learned how to say
Take me as I am if you cant I’ll just walk away
Cause I wont change who I am to please
Or mold myself into something you want to see
Take me as I am
If you cant I’ll walk away
Never enough
They say
Never pretty enough
Rich enough
So what is all I have to say
Take me as I am
Or watch me walk away
Cause I am who I am
And that will never change
If that’s not enough
then its not about me
but about you
so don’t try to change me
or rearrange me
try to mold me
cause if you really want to love and hold me
you’ll take me as I am
take the good with the bad
the happy with the sad
some days I don’t want to get dressed up
some days I will want to cry
some days I will breakdown and fall apart
if you really love me you wont try
to change me
to rearrange me
either accept me
as I am or go find yourself
someone else
cause I am who I am
and that will never change
I spent the first half of my life hearing
I didn’t meet the standard
I wasn’t good enough
To deserve love
I refuse to spend
The rest of my life
Believing that lie
Cause now I’ve learned
I am who I am
And that will never change
If its not good enough for you
Then I’ll walk away
Cause I am who I am
And that will never change
I wont stay with you f
you cant accept me
for who I am
don’t try to change me
or cage me cause if you do
it will be the last of me and you
cause I will not be a
bird in a cage
I will not change who I am
To try to fit into your life
I’d rather be alone night after night
Then to lose myself for someone else
I wont play the game
Of never enough
I would rather be alone
Rather feel the pain
Then to lose myself
For someone else
Never enough
Never smart enough
Never pretty enough
Never enough
To earn your love
If your loves got a price tag
I don’t want it anyway
I would rather walk away
Then to change
Cause I am who I am
And if that’s not enough
Then I’ll walk away
Cause I’d rather be alone
Then to change myself for someone else
I walked around with those words
Burned in my head for a long time
But then
There I saw that it didn’t matter what anyone said
