Just Not Enough

I’m doing my best but it’s just not enough
Got to stay strong, got to stay tough
Nobody listens nobody cares
Everybody’s whispering, everybody stares… stares
I just want to leave, just to sink underground
Maybe die, go up and float around
Maybe they’d miss me when I’m gone
But I don’t think so I don’t think so
I’m doing my best but it’s just not enough
Got to stay strong, got to stay tough
Nobody listens nobody cares
Everybody’s whispering, everybody stares… stares
Sometimes I’m looking and I try to understand
But their world is so hard to comprehend
I know that I can do it, if I really try
But they never seem to look at me and try to see mine
I’m doing my best but it’s just not enough
Got to stay strong, got to stay tough
Nobody listens nobody cares
Everybody’s whispering, everybody stares… stares
The world underneath me is falling apart
Into little pieces, slashing my heart
When I’ve traveled for so long and hungered for so much
It doesn’t seem right that it crumbles at my touch
I’m doing my best but it’s just not enough
Got to stay strong, got to stay tough
Nobody listens nobody cares
Everybody’s whispering, everybody stares… stares
Got to come through it, got to live somehow
If I want to survive, I got to think straight now now
No time to think, no time to waste,
Just got to know when I’m in the chase
No time to do what I know is right
Just got to come through it, make it through the fight
I’m doing my best but it’s just not enough
Got to stay strong, got to stay tough
Nobody listens nobody cares
Everybody’s whispering, everybody stares… stares
Hampering, hammering, always right there
Sitting on my breathing space, trying to block my air
I know I’m going to make it, going to make it through alive
But how much longer will it take before I shrivel up and die?
I’m doing my best but it’s just not enough
Got to stay strong, got to stay tough
Nobody listens nobody cares
Everybody’s whispering, everybody stares… stares
I’m pulling through, hopefully I’ll last
Got to pull up to the dock, make my ship fast
I stumble from the waves and fall onto land
Feel the grit in my mouth, I taste blood and sand
I’m doing my best but it’s just not enough
Got to stay strong, got to stay tough
Nobody listens nobody cares
Everybody’s whispering, everybody stares… stares
How much more can you take out of me?
When will it stop, how long will it be?
Every time I fight, it hurts all the more,
But I still fight, I won’t let you go
I won’t let you take a hold of me
I’m going to keep fighting till you set me free
It’s a matter of honor, a matter of course
You cannot take my spirit by force
I’m doing my best but it’s just not enough
Got to stay strong, got to stay tough
Nobody listens nobody cares
Everybody’s whispering, everybody stares… stares
