"Everyone says love hurts, but that's not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love. But in reality, love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes someone feel wonderful again." - unknown


She took your body,
She took your time,
And now she's filling up your mind.
And I can't seem to fit inside your heart.
There's too much in the past
That just gets in the way -
It's a constant reminder to me each and every day.

So take her hand, and don't let go.
Don't talk to me; I don't want to know
What you did with her.
She's obviously the one for you,
And there is nothing I can do.
'Cause I'll never be good enough.

I could never measure up,
No matter how I hard I try.
It seems like there's a mountain
That I just can't climb.
Every day that we're together,
We're becoming more apart.
And every time I hear about her,
You're shattering my heart.

So take her hand, and don't let go.
Don't talk to me; I don't want to know
What you did with her.
She's obviously the one for you,
And there is nothing I can do.
'Cause I'll never be good enough.

You say there's me...and only me,
But only the blind couldn't see
You're wishin' I was her.
There's somethin' wrong,
And that's no lie.
At night, it's the reason why I cry...
'Cause I can never be what you want.

So take her hand, and hold it tight -
I know she'll be in your arms tonight.
And I will be all by myself.
Don't worry, I'll be fine.
I'll deal with knowin' you're not mine,
'Cause I just wasn't good enough.
Oh oh, no I wasn't good enough.

I can never be good enough...for you.

The tune to this song is similar to the chorus of Keith Urban's song "You'll Think of Me".
