Lyrics from Snippets 1, 2
[Verse]
When she wakes up, she runs to the mirror
All that she thinks is "I wish I was thinner"
As she tugs at her skin
As she stands there, she brushes her hair
It's all fallin' out, but she doesn't care
'Cause that doesn't matter
No, nothin' else matters
[Pre-Chorus]
When is she gonna see herself
Just like everybody else does?
They tell her that she's beautiful
But she thinks they'rе all lyin' 'cause
How can they see what she doеsn't believe?
[Chorus]
So she pops back another pill
And she skips another meal
And she says she never will do this again
But then she pops back another pill
And she skips another meal
And every time she does, she says she's gonna stop
But she can't 'cause she's never good enough
[Verse 2]
He says he loves her, she says, "I know
But, babe, I'm so sorry, I've gotta let you go
'Cause it's not to fair to love someone else
When I cannot even stand myself"
And he says, "Well, if you don't love yourself
Well, babe, you gotta try to
If you could see yourself the way that I do"
And she knows it's all in her head, but instead
[Chorus]
She just pops back another pill
And she skips another meal
And she says she never will do this again
But then she pops back another pill
And she skips another meal
And every time she does, she says she's gonna stop
But she can't 'cause she's never good enough
[Chorus]
I pop another pill
And I skip another meal
And every time I do, I swear I'm gonna stop
But I can't 'cause I'm never good enough
Good Enough was written by Sasha Alex Sloan.
“Good enough” is a song that’s on my upcoming album. I wrote it when I was 16 and I never felt ready to put it out until now. The fact that it was written 10+ years ago and on some days still rings true just shows the power an eating disorder has. I know I’ve talked about struggling in the past but...
