Evanescence ~ Good Enough

Evanescence's second studio album The Open Door debuted at number one in the U.S. and a number of other countries and was certified platinum a little over a month after release. "Good Enough" is one of my favorite tracks from the album, but truth be told the whole thing is a great work of art. Lee thanked her husband, Josh Hartzler, for being the inspiration for "Good Enough" on the insert inside the album:

"Josh, you are my muse. Nothing inspires me the way you do. Thank you for all my missing pieces. Thank you for your strength and love. Thank you for letting me see myself through your eyes, because only then could I know that I am good enough for you."


Good Enough by Evanescence lyrics

Under your spell again - I can't say no to you.
Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand - I can't say no to you.
Shouldn't let you torture me so sweetly, now I can't let go of this dream.

I can't breathe but I feel good enough.
I feel good enough for you.

Drink up sweet decadence.
I can't say no to you and I've completely lost myself and I don't mind.
I can't say no to you.
Shouldn't let you conquer me completely, now I can't let go of this dream.

Can't believe that I feel good enough.
I feel good enough.

It's been such a long time coming, but I feel good.
And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall, pour real life down on me.
'Cause I can't hold on to anything this good enough.
Am I good enough for you to love me too?
So take care what you ask of me 'cause I can't say no.
