Never Enough

(album: Upright Animals - 2022)

Hey kid, you're gonna be just fine
As long as you walk the line
I know one thing's true
I don't want to end up like you
Won't need to hold my hand
What you want isn't part of my plan
When they say follow your dreams
I guess this isn't what they mean

Wish I ended up, just you did
You still look at me and see a kid
So what, grow up
It's never enough

I'm out of touch with what you think is cool
I basically slept my way
Through every day at school
Read the sign on my door "keep out"!
Can't hear you knocking cause the music's too loud
Dad yelling "keep it down
You'll ruin your life if I don't turn it around!"

Wish I ended up, just you did
You still look at me and see a kid
So what, grow up
It's never enough

If I'm such a failure in your eyes
It should really comes as no surprise
I won't grow up
If it's never enough

Never enough
Never enough
Never enough

Despite all your rage, I won't be stuck in a cage
What do you want from me?
A steady job and a family?
You live your life and I'll live mine
If you didn't notice I'm doing alright
You're living
But are you really alive?

Wish I ended up, just you did
You still look at me and see a kid
So what, grow up
It's never enough

If I'm such a failure in your eyes
It should really come as no surprise I won't grow up
If it's never enough

Never enough
Never enough
