Lifehouse - Good Enough (Lyrics)

[@batman9983]

First time I heard this song was when I watched The Wild, I still remember this song till this day.

[@master7686]

Me too😢👍

[@spencerstark6420]

The Wild brought me here

[@jessicajohnson1991]

Same here

[@thatomafukati6619]

We share the same memory

[@neromh]

Same here

[@JellyBeanAndPickles]

This song reminds me of my parents. No matter how hard I try to be perfect for them, they put me down like I'm something else. They can't accept that I've changed. I changed cause I was bullied and suicidal. They didn't help me out at all. They never even tried. Now that I'm happy again, I changed. I changed my music, friends, appearance and myself. And now I'm never good enough for them. Well I'm sorry mom and dad. Sorry that you didn't help me out. Sorry that you can't accept me for who I am. Sorry that you will never love me for who I am.

[@moonwitch9980]

Same here it sucks

[@AliAsif303]

Keep hoping my friend. They will accept who you are eventually. I can relate to your tale to some extent but in the end my parents understand why I do what I feel I can do. Never say Never! There is always hope! God always gives abundance to those who are in need.

[@Gadrahill]

Ye it sucks. Sometimes our parents are so blinded buy what they want for us that they don't see who we really are. When I Was 12 years old my father was always in his office working, and my mother was always stressed about her day at work. I remember her crying on the diner table because she was unhappy and my father would answer her like she was a cry baby. I was the only one that asked her: "What do you need?". Let´s say, it was my ignorance of a child. After that she started to "use me " as her frustration doll. Yelling about everything, aggressive for her frustration day but I stood there listening to her, cause I knew she needed it. When I was 15, I felt like I was the worst person in the world, but at least I had food on the table, health, a house, a bed to sleep in, wasn't abused or witness any family violence. She never saw me growing up, nether my father. Writing was the only thing that made me "alive" those days, and they always said: "Stop being a dreamer! Get your feet on the ground!". They didn't accepted my writing, they didn't accept me. When I was older I fought for my happiness regardless of there parenting objectives for me, I ran away to go to were I was happy. That's when I realised I had the right to be happy! And that, they cant take that away from me .They realized that they could lose me. So now they are more warming to me, but its sad that they don't know me. Now I know they were so stressed with all the bills to pay, mine and my brothers education. They were fighting for us, they were building our future, to make it possible, that´s a difficult thing to do.But sometimes they are scared to see they´re sons or daughter's fail. Don't give up on them, they want the best for you, regardless of what you are feeling now. Sometimes they show they care, sometimes they only show what they want for us. Others, don't even bother. At least, I suppose,you had them since you where born and still have them, so do I....Don't give up my friend, keep on fighting ^^ You will see in the end, you are going to be the one to teach them something ;) *sorry for my bad English XD *

[@jenniferbrat]

Ah... I remember everyday in 6th grade, I'd come home from school and listen to this song. I was so severely bullied that I became suicidal and years later, diagnosed with depression. At that time, I never wanted to go to school, always made excuses to stay home, and when I did have to go out, I covered up as much of my skin as possible. It was absolutely fucking pathetic, and all due to the color of my skin. Being bullied simply because I was darker than everyone else. I tried changing my appearance by bleaching my skin and wearing whatever was "cool,” keeping up with the coolest phone, whatever I had to so I wouldn't stand out. Needless to say, it didn’t work and made things much worse. If anything, I became more of a victim because they made fun of my efforts. In this current day, I'm listening to this song not because I'm sad about my appearances, but because I just love how I grew as a person and this song was there with me through it. I no longer bat an eyelid at anyone else’s opinion, I have a no-bullshit tolerance and absolutely will not allow anyone to disrespect me when I am nothing but friendly and respectful to everyone. In return, I’m respected and liked by my peers and I am proud of where I am in my life right now. I now see that I have so much worth and use that I truly believe I’d be unstoppable if there were two of me. No one, especially not teenagers, are ever worth trying to please. They will not be there when you leave and go into the real world. You’ll meet people that give a shit about you and appreciate your presence (and it doesn’t need to be a lot; better to have 2 close friends than a bunch of acquaintances). You’re going to do great things as long as you have something to strive towards. Don’t ever try to change yourself; you’ll meet someone that appreciates you exactly as you are, just as I have. An extra little extra bit years after this comment was written,, but some of the individuals that bullied me truly had the audacity to try to reach out and “apologize” to me after seeing how well I was doing with myself and getting on my way to starting my career at a young age (accounting/tax). I did not forgive them, but it’s not because I hate them; I don’t care for them nor what they do with themselves. It’s just that I’m not obligated to forgive them.

[@antoniabaldassarre4360]

same but only in fifth grade which was last year

[@alexissmith1123]

im terribly sorry you ever had to go through that. I was always bullied too !! & I hope you got through the hard ship, the struggles!!! Have you?

[@jenniferbrat]

+alexis Smith Definitely, and don't apologize. It's been some years, haha. I have a small group of close friends and I'm happier than ever with them. I learned to speak up and stand up for myself. I don't take anyone's shit anymore 🤗

[@altarux7312]

Its good that you didn't do it because that shows something that your father dunk or not didn't see, strength :)

[@ahsanawaisi6585]

impressive (Y)

[@xEmmieBx]

You go, man. :) Be your own person. Your Dad doesn't define you. :) You are who you choose to be :)

[@stephanieweister863]

My dad left me in February and my mom left me in April. Both of them moved out. They left me with over 2000 worth of bills and I'm only 18 and going into my senior year. I'm thankful for a grandma aunt and sister who loves me and tries to help. The emotional pain of never being good enough for my parents will never go away. I don't drive either and neither of them will take me anywhere I have to be. I feel like there's something wrong with me even though my guidance counselor says it's them and not me.

[@alexandercelis6051]

I have no way to explain how good Lifehouse is to me. I think it's an awesome band and all their songs give me an idea to relate to

[@apryldillon1979]

Reminds me of my daughter- her and I would watch this movie and she'd say"momma that's a pretty song" awwww. I love you baby girl ur forever MY GIRL!!! Momma will always be here no matter how far. 💜

[@rachelmurray3434]

I am who I am. And I will not change. Not for you, not for anyone. I will not apologize for being me.

[@northamericanemperor]

sometimes you try your hardest to prove to the one you loved and to yourself that you really were in love and even though you may know it, your loved one has changed and will never love you again. there is no way to tell yourself to just accept it and move on when you don't have closure. you just have to tell yourself that some people were not meant to ever find true love......

[@winxclub5566]

Just remember that you were born that way, to be that way. Don't try to change who you are cause your are your own perfect special self !

[@oLloydg]

LIFEHOUSE...the BEST BAND in THE whole WORLD..keep on...love this song...

[@titaniumcranium3755]

You dont realize how important you are until someone cries about you being hurt. School was hard because I was the quiet kid and I was picked on for being lame and people would take advantage of my friendships. Then one day someone laughs at me and talk about me but the next minute they would ask me for money and pretend that they are cool with me. Its sick man. So I developed a tough attitude. When nick wilde in zootopia said that you cant let them know that they get to you, I felt that. I also tried being bad to be cool but a teacher told me that I'm special. A girl I always liked told me that she liked it when I wasn't bad like everyone else. We are now together. I will never forget how I was treated. I spent too much time and money on people who weren't my real friends. Then I met Tokyo. He was a true friend

[@elliesart_]

Always just picture Ryan from the Wild slinking into the night away from the zoo..

[@fredkirby2134]

The Wild was truly a great movie, one of my faves.

[@maliahuerta4079]

[@GtotheEmmaLee]

Why does every one of their songs have to be so darn amazing?!?!?! Like every one.......

[@75444wheeler]

This song remains me the bad memories when I was kid, but I can't look back. Sometimes I have to move on. But still bad memories comes back to me, its hard to forget. :,( Still I face conflicts in my family and my peers. I just need to go somewhere peaceful like Heaven seeing Jesus makes me feel better, since I accepted him to my heart. :,(

[@dee-tx5jd]

To anybody who reads this. Please work on yourself, be honest, write down all your past hurt, cry it out and heal until you love yourself fully ❤ you are enough, you are worthy and wonderfull. Your beyuty is haunting and xou are amazing inside and out. What you perceive as "flaws" is just your ego. Never give up on yourself. Don't believe somebody else can give you love and validstion. This can only come from within 😘

[@jessicajohnson1991]

Really needed this right now because of what I had to go through with my mom and everything else

[@Fox1nDen]

Once my Dad shared with me the book People Skills by Dr.Bolton. The book explains how to be assertive without becoming aggressive or passive-aggressive. It changed me. It changed my role in a family that wanted me to stay passive. Dad hadn't counted on that. Eventually we all forgave each other and became a functional family. But it took years. If your parents have rejected you, wait a few years and see how that changes. As your values play out into the kind of life you think is right for you, they may learn that rejection didn't work. You be you.

[@cschoon98]

My favorite band of all time ladies and gentlemen

[@purpleexplsion]

Mom, Dad. I'm sorry that I'm not good enough for you. I hope one day I won't be such a let down.

[@vhoorhees]

thanx for the song, it is special in a lot of ways, specially when you lose what you never thought to have lost, and maybe i will never find again...

[@bLurifi]

At 12 years old, Lifehouse always had the right song to explain how I felt and now even after over a decade at 24 years old, Lifehouse still knows how to explain how I feel even if I can't.

DANG IT LIFEHOUSE!! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE ME CRY WITH SOME OF YOUR SONGS?!?!

[@Freddyffg87]

This is who i am and not changing the best part that makes me the right kind of man. I know you and i share the same name even carry a weight on our shoulders. Though i feel your pain as another individual not having their parents accept them for who they truly are in this world. I can't begin to imagine what it would feel like to abandon everyone who cares deeply for you. All i know is thats something i can never do but, i know you've had your reasons and nor are you perfect. I just want you to know who i am and that it's ok to be open with the ones that never stopped caring even when you were away. So i do forgive you for giving me life but, all the times you spent can never be replaced. This is why i choose to live my life by not giving up on what matters most to me inside my heart.

[@ysabellcourtney4113]

Why can't I ever be good enough 4 anyone? I'm never anyone's first

[@janabrooks8268]

I was the only kid that didn’t “experiment” growing up. And I lost a lot of friends because they all assumed I’d rat on them since I wasn’t involved myself. But it certainly showed me who my REAL friends are. I’m proud of anyone who is willing to be different to stand up for what they believe in. Be aware that peer pressure can be turned up to like normal X 10. Ppl r afraid of different. Don’t give in! Stay true to who u r. U r growing into a wonderful, unique person.

Two of my friends in my class is CONSTANTLY trying to change me 'cause they say I'm turning into a boy (clothes and music taste-wise). So, I guess the lines "What do I have to do, to try to make you see? That this is who I am and it's all that I can be" fits pretty good.

Listen to me. You don’t HAVE to love someone just because they’re in your family. Sure there should be more effort, but if in the end they’re just toxic......drop them. I’ve spent years trying to get my father to act like one, to no avail. He always turns it back on me like it’s my fault. I dropped him last month. Does it sting? Sure. Is it for the best? Yes.
