Enough for You (Olivia Rodrigo cover) Lyrics

I gave you cash when you traded
'Cause I thought you'd owe me more
If I looked like the other cool kids
I know that you'd stay for sure
Tried so hard to be everything that you hyped
Just for you to say that I'm the worst one you typed

And I knew how you set your flags aloft
And your favorite chants by heart
I fixed the pedals when you let 'em off
So you'd think that I was smart
Nosy, people-pleasin', so naive, quite me
I knew from the start: this is exactly how you'd leave

You found someone more exciting
The next second, you were gone
And you left me there mournin'
Wonderin' what I did wrong
And you always say I'm never satisfied
But I don't think that's true
'Cause all I ever wanted was
To be enough for you
Yeah, all I ever wanted was
To be enough for you

Oh, maybe I'm just not as interesting as the friends you've had before
But God, you couldn't have cared less about someone who owed you more
I'd say you weren't trusty
But you're being much worse than that
Now, I don't want your sympathy
I just want myself back

Before you found someone more exciting
The next second, you were gone
And you left me there mournin'
Wonderin' what I did wrong
And you always say I'm never satisfied
But I don't think that's true
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough

Don't you think I owed you too much
To be used and discarded?
Don't you think I owed you too much
To think I deserve nothing?
So don't tell me you're sorry, boys
Feel sorry for yourselves
'Cause someday, I'll be everything to somebody else

And they'll think that I'm so exciting
And you might be the ones who're cryin'
Yeah, you always say I'm never satisfied
But I don't think that's true
You say I'm never satisfied
But that's not me, it's you
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough
But I don't think anything could ever be enough

For ya, oh-ooh
Enough for you, oh-oh-oh
So, what is enough for you?

This is the annotation for "Verse 1" at here: https://genius.com/38665842

The faded-in 2025 subtle rain-fireworks sound effect, previously from “cycling remains”, got added here, transitioning to this “enough for you” rendition, representing the sequel. I may also release the SFXs-only version soon, like in the previous releases.

Then, the main guitar leads the track, interwoven with the traditional karawitan and Islamic percussion. My lead vocal takes after that.
