I know I'm
Not good enough for A team
Not fast enough for B team
Just quick enough for C team
Just barely above D team

I know that you say
He's not good enough for me
You don't approve
No one approves
He's not good enough for me

I know
I'm not as gorgeous as you
I'm not as pretty as her
I'm not your average cute
On the verge of unsightly

My grades aren't high enough
3.5 but not 4.0
Honor's Night but still not the best
If only I did better on that test

My parents say I've changed
My friends say I'm different
I'm sorry I'm not your little girl anymore
I'm sorry I'm not perfect forevermore

I'm showing a few cracks
I know what I lack
You say I'm not good enough
Tell me something I don't know

Tell me of your imperfections
Tell I'm not the only one
Tell me who you see in your reflection
Tell me of the wrong you've done
Tell me something I don't know

Tell me something
Tell me anything
Tell me it's okay to change
Tell me it's okay to be different
Tell me something I don't know

I know I'm
Not confident enough
Not tough enough
Not loud enough
I know I'm
Not now and never will be
Good Enough
So now, tell me,
Something I don't know
