Never Enough

Yo, boy, you can’t be treatin’ me like that

No, no

I refuse to accept your abuse anymore

Tell ‘em girls

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

(Repeat x1)

See you here now boy askin’ for somethin’ like you always do

Want my earnings or my body, whichever you’re in the mood to please you

I’m tired of being used, I’m sick of being cursed

When you give your sop story about how you do so much more work

Hell no you don’t, heck no, you’re not better

Why do I got be the one who puts up with you in bad weather?

You can never put yourself together

You can never say “I love you” after all I do

After all I have to go through

And constantly I’m thinkin’ don’t I deserve more than this

Instead of lyin’ on the edge of the bed unless you’re up for a kiss?

Can’t you keep it simple and serious for a moment?

Can’t you save the chick you claim to love from this torment?

Oh, damn, there you go again, yellin’ like a broken record

Screamin’ like a banshee, pushin’ your fists against me

Stop it, please boy it’s hurting me

What happened to protecting me?

What happened to loving me?

Has it come to deserting me?

Oh, boy

After all I do for you this what you do for me

After all I go through you still don’t seem to see

I do it out of love, I do it out of love

But it’s never enough, oh, it’s never enough

Oh, boy

After all I sacrifice for you this all I get in return

Being used and abused, baby boy, it burns

I do it out of love, I do it out of love

But it’s never enough, oh, it’s never enough

I’m not askin’ for your credit card, just a little cash to go out to dinner

But you say no, you gotta play poker with your homies, and look you’re a winner

Shouldn’t I be proud?

There’s cash flowin’ in your wallet

You’re slipping it in my underwear, but you know what, you can have it

‘Cause I’ve seen the way you’re greedy

Always moody and needy

Never askin’ how I am like you don’t even see me

I’ve had a long day, I could be dizzy and I’ll sway

But you’ll just sit back on the couch lost in your own dismay

Baby, am I really askin’ that much for some attention?

Sometime when we were dating a while back wasn’t that mentioned?

Then why do you treat me like I should be in detention

Like I owe you a pension, like I’m an unanswered question?

Why is there so much tension?

Why does it never lessen?

Oh, boy

After all I do for you this what you do for me

After all I go through you still don’t seem to see

I do it out of love, I do it out of love

But it’s never enough, oh, it’s never enough

Oh, boy

After all I sacrifice for you this all I get in return

Being used and abused, baby boy, it burns

I do it out of love, I do it out of love

But it’s never enough, oh, it’s never enough

Oh, it’s never enough that I’m there whenever

It’s never enough that I’ve promised you my forever

But you’re breaking my heart over and over

Clenching your hands, but still calling me your lover

So don’t I have the right to break this promise?

Don’t I have the right to move on from this?

I’m honestly not tryin’ to be selfish

But when I say you’ve givin’ me nothin’ I’m literally meanin’ this

Nothin’ but hate, but somethin’ empty and careless

Leavin’ me to tuck you in while I suffer in distress

Why don’t you understand and confess

There’s more you could do to make this work, jerk?

Loved you, gave you, saved you from complete darkness

Treated you like an angel with which I am blessed

But you’ve changed and now I’m stressed

You used to warm me up, now you’re aching through my chest

Oh, boy

After all I do for you this what you do for me

After all I go through you still don’t seem to see

I do it out of love, I do it out of love

But it’s never enough, oh, it’s never enough

Oh, boy

After all I sacrifice for you this all I get in return

Being used and abused, baby boy, it burns

I do it out of love, I do it out of love

But it’s never enough, oh, it’s never enough

(Repeat x1)

Oh, oh, boy

That’s enough now

I've Tried

You people

Yeah, all you out there

Listen’ up now for a second

Ya see, everyday we go through all this bull, you know

Yeah, you know

People puttin’ you down, tellin’ you there’s no chance for ya

Messin’ up your clear picture, man

It’s tough

I know, ya

Been on that rough ride too

But this is what you gotta do

Queue the slow music my main man

(Music starts)

Started out when I was a little kid

Everyone said whatever you dream you can do it

Hypocrites, how they make you believe it

And then when you’re almost there they say screw it

You’re goin’ around askin’ what do they want

How come they have the authority to say what you do or don’t?

Isn’t it your life for you to live?

Then why do they keep expectin’ you to give?

Whatever you do never seems good enough

Actin’ all kind like they taught you to but all of a sudden it’s “be tough”

Make up your mind, fools, I’m tryin’ to learn

Don’t you know a failed teacher makes the student burn?

I tried to do whatever was asked when it was my turn

But they said take it higher, I’m too slow, why don’t I ever know

I’m no superhero, Mr. Deniro, didn’t invent cheerios

But hey, don’t you see the other side that glows?

I’ve tried so hard

To meet your expectations

I’ve tried so hard

To be that superstar

I’ve tried so hard

But you say the effort went to waste

I’ve tried so hard

But you tell me it’s too late

I’ve tried so hard

So I’m gonna recognize it

I’ve tried so hard

I’m thankful to God for helping me through it

I’ve tried so hard

And I’m gonna let the world know out loud

That I’ve tried so hard

And no matter what you say I’m proud

You keep repeating if I’d studied a little harder

I could’ve matched Einstein and become a doctor

And if not I’d be a biologist or a professional lawyer

But you couldn’t accept my need for adventure like Tom Sawyer

It seems I never pleased you ever

Unless I read my textbooks over and over

And the kids that I always knew

It seems you never even liked them too

So tell me what do you suppose I do?

Do you want me to grieve ‘cause I couldn’t please you?

Already spent so many years feeling sorry

But why am I entitled to this self-pity?

Fact is I did what I did and now I’m doing what’s best for me

The least you could do is encourage a little for me

‘Cause I’ve tried so hard, believe me, with what I had I did

Stop repeating “it’s not enough”

Think over, isn't it?

I’ve tried so hard

To meet your expectations

I’ve tried so hard

To be that superstar

I’ve tried so hard

But you say the effort went to waste

I’ve tried so hard

But you tell me it’s too late

I’ve tried so hard

So I’m gonna recognize it

I’ve tried so hard

I’m thankful to God for helping me through it

I’ve tried so hard

And I’m gonna let the world know out loud

That I’ve tried so hard

And no matter what you say I’m proud

I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, baby

I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried to shoot for the moon

Isn’t landing amongst the stars an accomplishment too?

Is asking you to accept this now a little too soon?

I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried like crazy

I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried to please

But it ain’t all ease, call it a disease, but I’m perfectly normal

No, I didn’t fall, I’m still climbing

Does it make sense I called you friend

If you aren’t gonna stick with me to the end?

Can’t you at least pretend instead of being an offense?

I don’t wanna defend from you

I wanna do this with you

I want you to support me too

Instead of saying all I do is lose, helping me you refuse

You’ve left me a bruise that I couldn’t choose

Locked inside a fuse

And all the days you watched as I cried

Just know, just you know I tried

I’ve tried so hard

To meet your expectations

I’ve tried so hard

To be that superstar

I’ve tried so hard

But you say the effort went to waste

I’ve tried so hard

But you tell me it’s too late

I’ve tried so hard

So I’m gonna recognize it

I’ve tried so hard

I’m thankful to God for helping me through it

I’ve tried so hard

And I’m gonna let the world know out loud

That I’ve tried so hard

And no matter what you say I’m proud

(Chorus x1)

I’m proud, I’m proud, I’m proud

Devil's Temptation

Darling devil, darkness soul

King of my heart, conqueror of all

Comfort my anger with your emerald eyes

Climbing the wall, failing against my tries

Breathe slowly, spread your wings

Angel fallen silent, the demon sings

Haunting voices in my every dream

Learning to loathe the moon’s pure gleam

(Aaaah…)

Losing myself in the devil’s temptation

(Aaaah…)

Letting loose the hold that kept me in the light

(Aaaah…)

I have lost my heart to horror’s creation

(Aaaah…)

I’ve kissed his lips, I’m far from being saved tonight

Close this distance now, come set me free

Embrace the chains that so burden me

Lay my weary head in the field of my fears

Whisper your promises, make heavenly my tears

Beautiful shadow, pleasant nightmare

Guide the wanderer to the chasm of your lair

Shun the stars, cloak the blinding sun

Bright lies of hope, now you are the one

(Chorus x1)

Ooh…

Surrendering to my weakness

The handsome devil offering a hand in dance

The world showed me the pain of love

I will commit to this new romance

There’s nothing left to break

Nothing left to take

Forgive me for my mistake

I cannot escape this sweet madness

(Chorus x1)

So far from being saved…
