I'm at the base of it now, I'm in the shadow
I don't know if I can face it
The clouds, they shroud the top
Right near the summit is the place they say you'll make it
And I don't think I can live with myself, if I don't try
Instead of breaking down, I'd rather die
And all I can do is act it out
Wake up every morning with my head full of doubt
That I may never be good enough
I may never be good enough
I may never be good enough (No, no, no, no, no, no, no)
I may never be good enough (No, no, no, no, no, oh)
Stop, work it out, let the rains of inspiration stop this idea drought
And fill my head with lots of lyrical wonder
And between you and me these haven't all be written sober
And you say you can't believe it that I haven't made it
The Piano Man's crowd felt the same
And in this game of life, and what you wanna do, there's only one person to blame
I may never be good enough
I may never be good enough
I may never be good enough (No, no, no, no, no, no, no)
I may never be good enough (No, no, no, no, no, oh)
Could you give me a minute, close your eyes
Picture a place where you feel good inside
If I did the same as you I'd be in the middle of the ocean
Not because I like it 'cos I like the smooth motion
Of the waves on my boat, back and forth as I float
With no knowledge of date or time, so take note
When I'm out here society can't hurt me
There's no pressure on my head to not be lonely
Instead I'd be looking at pretty girls and thinking what could have been
Would it all been so bad if I just let them in
'Cos like they say, one is the loneliest number
So I need one more to make my world stronger
I may NEVER be good enough!
I may never be good enough
I may never be good enough
I may never be good enough
