In "Good Enough," Chris James lies awake after a long night, trying to reclaim a self that feels lost. Exhaustion and a hollow ache persist even when life looks full, and the fear sharpens that pushing so hard has left nothing left to bend. The image of swimming in deep water with a half-empty cup captures that contradiction: surrounded by plenty yet still sinking. The repeated question, whether being good enough will ever arrive, becomes the quiet plea underneath the sleeplessness and the canceled plans.
Good Enough Lyrics by Chris James
I think I might be going crazy
I think it’s been a long damn night
I’m not the type to say this changed me
But somethings crawling in my mind
I’m tryna to fill big black hole
I think it’s full but it’s still not quite
Blinded by the toll it’s taking scraping by
I’ve been lying up all night
Trying to be me again
Say I’m running low on time
While calling off all my friends
Tell me did I push so hard it’s pushing me off the edge?
I’ve been giving parts of me ’til nothing is left to bend
Will I be good enough then?
Will I be good enough then?
Course corrected but I’m still off balance
And I I wonder if if my dad was right
I hold myself to no one’s standards
But I don’t think I’m good enough for mine
I’m swimming in the water it’s so deep
Got plenty but my cups half-empty
A hole inside my heart sits too deep
29 I ask myself
I’ve been lying up all night
Trying to be me again
Say I’m running low on time
While calling off all my friends
Tell me did I push so hard it’s pushing me off the edge?
I’ve been giving parts of me ’til nothing is left to bend
Will I be good enough then?
Will I be good enough then?
