Ethel Cain
Am I not good enough for you?
Is there something wrong with me?
You say: Don’t cry, you know you’re mine
Baby, don’t you lie to me
Am I just not what you want?
Am I just not what you need?
Is there someone who has your heart
That keeps you gone away from me?
Is she prettier than me?
Is her skin softer than mine?
Can she give you what I can’t?
The things I cry for every night?
Is it something in how she moves
When you’re undressed inside her house?
Does she smile the way I do
When she has you in her mouth?
Do you not love me like you did
When you told me that it’s fine?
That I’ve been hurt, 'cause you’ve been too?
And that kind of pain, you don’t mind?
I think about you every day
'Cause I love you more than I thought I could
And now that you’re gone, I wanna die
'Cause I don’t hate you like I know I should
Was I not good enough for you?
Was there something wrong with me?
I just cry by myself at night
But you’ll never know and you’ll never see
