“Not Good Enough” discusses the struggles in Joy Williams’s marriage with her manager, Nate Yetton, as she explained to Medium:

[Verse 1]
Go on, look me in the eye
I'm all out of things to hide
Go on, reach into the dark
Go on, reach into the dark
[Chorus]
Am I asking too much?
Are you all out of love?
If I set it on fire, burn it all up
When will we ever learn that perfect is just not good enough?
[Verse 2]
Don't you try to look away
Don't try to leave, try to stay
Go on, we've come so far
Go on, reach into the dark
[Chorus]
Or am I asking too much?
Are you all out of love?
Did I set it on fire, burn it all up?
When will we ever learn that perfect is just not good enough?
[Bridge]
Could you look right at my wrong?
Let the past be dead and gone
[Chorus]
Or am I asking too much?
Are you all out of love?
Did I set it on fire, burn it all up?
When will we ever learn, oh
When will we ever learn that perfect is just not good enough?
