Even My Best Won't Be Good Enough

(album: Lullabies For Parents, Vol. 1 - 2022)

I'm gonna try
I'm gonna try hard
I'll try not to let you down
I'll try not to break your heart
I'm gonna give
I'll give this my best shot
Pray that God fills you in
All the ways that I cannot

But I'm gonna feel
I'm just too flawed
But I'm gonna feel
I've dropped the bomb
I'm gonna give
Give you my all
But even my past
Even my past
Won't be good enough

I'm gonna teach
Teach you how to be yourself
In a world that tries with all its might
To tempt us to be someone else
I'm gonna hope
It comes as no surprise
That dreams will sometimes let you down
And love requires compromise

But I'm gonna feel
I'm just too flawed
I'm gonna feel
I've dropped the bomb
I'm gonna give
Give you my all
But even my best
Even my best
Won't be good enough

I'm gonna wonder
What you really think about
Too afraid of telling me
Too ashamed to let it out
