Never Good Enough Lyrics

I'm through living in your shadow
When does my life become my own?
I've tried my best to do what's right
But it's always less than you condone

My whole life has always seemed foreign to me
Because I've been living out someone else's dreams
Well it's time to break through this euphoric haze
And begin to live life my own way

This is my life
This is my chance
To fulfill all my hopes and dreams
I'm through living my life for you
From now on, I'm living my life for me
I've tried my best to do what's right
But to you it's always been wrong
I'm just so damn tired
That is why I write this song

My heart is scarred from all these years
Of living out your humility
My mind has gone through it over again
Within my nightmares and my dreams

No more shadows
No more lies
I never knew just how I looked
Through other people's eyes

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
