"(Not) Enough" lyrics

"(Not) Enough"

When you looked into my eyes for the first time
I felt like a deer in the headlights
In a moment all the things that have comprised
Every accomplishment and benchmark in my life
All fell flat, all came short
The bar is so much higher than it was before
And I don't know if I am capable
Of the love that I know you'll be aching for

I'm not the man you think I am
I'm just a fraud inside his skin
How long before you start to see
I'm not enough, and I can't compete

With a cold sweat I was terrified
But at the same time, I've never felt so alive
My heart was full but so was my mind
Cause I stockpiled lie, after lie, after lie

"You can't provide, you're not equipped"
"You're not a man, you're just a kid"
Is what I hear inside my head
The diagnosis of my own demons

I'm not the man you think I am
I'm just a fraud inside his skin
How long before you start to see
I'm not enough, and I can't compete

(I'm not enough, and I can't compete)
(I'm not enough, and I'll never be)
(I'm not enough, and I can't compete)
(With who you think I ought to be)

I'm not enough, and I can't compete
I'm not enough, and I'll never be
I'm not enough, and I can't compete
With who you think I ought to be

I'm not enough, and I can't compete
I'm not enough, and I'll never be
I'm not enough, and I can't compete
With who you think I ought to be

(I'm not enough)
(I'm not enough)
I'm not enough

I'm not the man you think I am
I'm just a fraud inside his skin

I'm not the man you think I am
I'm just a fraud inside his skin
How long before you start to see
I'm not enough, and I can't compete

I'm not enough
