Lyrics:
Hey, your glass is empty
It's a hell of a long way home
Why don't you let me take you?
It's no good to go alone
I never would have opened up
But you seemed so real to me
And after all the bullshit I've heard
Refreshing not to see
That I don't have to pretend
She doesn't expect it from me
So, don't tell me I
Haven't been good to you
Don't tell me I
Have never been there for you
Just tell me why
Nothing is good enough

To all the broken souls(including mine)you are loved and you are good enough.

I met Sarah Mac when I was in my mid twenties, in Houston, during her Fumbling Towards Ecstasy tour and her music and, especially this song, touched my soul and still does. I often still don't feel good enough and this song is very healing. I love her and hope to see her again soon.

I saw the FUMBLING tour as it passed through Seattle twice. About 6 months apart. The summer of 94 then in October-November ish. When i first heard FUMBLING TOWARDS ECSTASY it blew me away. Still does. Every song rips my heart out.
After being abused by my ex husband for 12yrs not only do i know now that I am good enough but desreve better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember when this song first came out. I was at Walmart with my girlfriend and a couple friends of ours. We were in the electronics section, and I was drawn to the sound of one of the most beautiful songs I'd ever heard. The display was playing a snippet of Good Enough. It was my first experience with Sarah McLachlan's music. I just kept on listening to it over and over again. It touched my soul somehow and I knew I had to have that album. It's amazing how music can trigger memories from so far in the past.

My god this reminds me of 1994 when I went away to college in San Francisco. Good time. The music from this album got me through school.
I absolutely love this woman and her mind. This was back when you could feel music in your soul.
No other artist has touched me so deep into my soul as Sarah.. thank you Sarah for your honesty turned into poetry
Ran across this again after so many years and it has so much more meaning after suffering multiple emotionally abusive relationships. A song to myself after coming out on the other side.
I've been a fan of Sarah McLachlan for nearly 30 years - in Southeast Michigan we can get Canadian radio clearly, and Into the Fire just caught my attention right away. I know most of her music by heart from the first few notes. All that being said, I can't get through the first 30 seconds of Good Enough without tearing up. This song wrecks me.
I grew up to this. This WAS my therapy.
Theres something magical when the message, melody and voice come together in such a memorably evocative and timeless way. Like so many of Sarah’s songs, this touches a place inside.
Voice of an angel. Sing me home Sarah...sing me home. 🙏
This is the theme song of my marriage....no matter how hard I tried or what I did, it was never good enough....being beaten down by words can hurt even more than being hit by a fist....

That's usually how it works with verbal abusers. It's all about keeping you in check, not about constructive criticism.
She has the most beautiful voice in the world. I love her!!
the person singing the song is singing to the person that thinks they are not good enough to be loved. it is saying let me show you you ARE good enough to be treated good and be loved. it could also apply to people who think they are not because of past abuses and the self abuse many put themselves through. it is about saying this person will be there for them when no one else might be

So exactly correct. Very insightful and inspired of you to see and then speak of what you have seen. The real tragedy is when the one who is not good enough has no one to turn to, no one there to share the burden. The spiral downward then continues. Hold out a hand to the ones you love, people. It does no harm and may possibly save a life.
I think this is her most beautiful song. This and Possession are my favorites. The BEST college heartache crying music. 😅
I saw Sara at Lilath Fair years ago!! INCREDIBLE!! She and Sheryl Crow did a duet that left 40,000 people crying!! She has a song for almost anything you might be going through in life. And she's a genuinely good person!!

Yes. her voice, her high lilting voice in everything she does, sort of reminiscent of Anita Baker, but very distinctively special in "Will You Remember," which I fell in love with, and then the musical motif was continued in "Angel," and "Sweet Surrender," though that's more of a k.d laing offering.

Her music was played out in the 90s but I always loved her voice. I found two of her cds at the Goodwill and have been rediscovering her music. It's absolutely lovely to hear.
We were 7 kids kind of poor for awhile. Left me feeling that I was not good enough for anyone. Left me very shy. This song has touched me.
Been crying this evening not feeling good enough 😪 thanks Sarah for creating the sounds we feel 💕 from one songwriter to another just..thank you 🎶
She never disappoints.

My husband passed away 8 years ago. But when I hear this song, it takes me right back to when him and I used to sing it together

When you physically and emotionally abuse someone, you chip away at their soul. You take in order to feel powerful, yet they survive in order to spread love.
It's been so many years and these songs on FTE still awaken (and I can release) the same emotion as the day I first heard them. Thank you, Sarah, thank you so much.
it doesnt matter how many years pass, her music, lyrics give me goosebumps!
Love this song..Sarah has a beautiful voice!!!
I love all of Sarah Mchlaclan's song. her song's my motivator
Her music touches my soul
Years later...you heal us...❤
I’ve only recently learned of this song. And I replay it quite often now. I watched my father physically and emotionally abuse my mother. I hope she knows now that none of that had anything to do with her worth. This trauma has ruined and scarred me. My mother is the strongest woman I know, but still she struggles with knowing her worth. Blessed to still have her and love her each day. She is my hero. A survivor. A warrior.
I am sorry for what you must have been through but it is times like these and people like that makes me feel like "Hey perhaps you not alone" Thank you so much

As a pure masculine MAN, her music brings me to my knees.
A byproduct of being raised by a mostly single alcoholic mother with narcissistic tendencies is never feeling good enough. Our dad was indifferent to me and my sister and childhood trauma from both parents definitely effects us in adulthood. This song has a very special place in my heart❤
Glas to rediscover this track. Fumbling toward Ecstasy is amazing. As a teen, and my first year on the army, i lay in bed many nights letting Good Enough fade out gently.
Sarah's "surfacing" album helped me get through a rough divorce..I would sit in a dark room and just listen...amazing music..!!..Through her music..I realized I am not the piece of shit my EX wife tried to portray me or my friends to the public.... ..

A special Thanks to my sister who dedicated this song to me in my teens. I will always remember this. This song really describes and says everything it is meant to say and everything I am still going through till this day. Eating disorders are no joke, I know. So very sad...You may not even remember this but I do and I will never forget. Thank you so much sis, Love you:-)

My cousin had an eating disorder and almost died ... now I do (tho mine is more minor but still no joke and harmful) so I understand you. I hope you find peace. This hits so hard for me though due mostly to my emotionally and mentally abusive parent. This parent didn't mean to but just couldn't handle a family my parents divorced when I was going into middle school. I thought it was my fault at first. My parents got 50/50 custody. Good parent who initiated divorce was only escape... every other week I was parenting 3 other kids, handling school, doing some of the parents work and house work. They are getting mental help now for Bipolar, ADHD, Panic disorder and Anxiety most I got from them but am handling better then I think he is. Therapists and good parent agree but I never felt like enough to them. Still it is hard but thank you Sarah.
It gets better my friends....hatch a plan and get out. Life is better once I did.
We all know someone going thru shit like this....
My favorite Sarah song.
Sarah's music got me through some hard times years ago. Seeing her a few times in concert brought me joy where there was none. Now due to the recent debacle of an election and the despair I feel along with millions of others, searching for some hope in her words and music. God bless us, everyone.

I might need to listen to this more because I am a college senior but I still struggle a lot especially since I am currently taking upper level courses. I still do the assignments but I have a condition where I have trouble comprehending the materials I read. I have been through a roller coaster of passing/failing classes and I want to end that roller coaster by passing the classes but, when I don't do well on certain assignments especially exams, I don't feel like I am good enough.

Coming back to this song, and my comment in 2023
A lot of people have the wrong perspective about abusive parents. When you have an abusive parent they use their power to make their spouse feel like they aren't good enough. This causes them to believe it after so long and it isn't easy for them to leave. If you know someone that is a victim, tell them you are there for them, and only once. Give them the option to get help. But don't cause them to stop talking to you because they will defend their partner until they see the truth.
used to listen this all day everyday. I think it's her best
I'm a big Carly Simon fan! I absolutely love Sarah's voice her voice is like a breath of fresh air
Abuse of any kind whether physical, mental, emotional or even substance abuse is a terrible thing. I know as I have been a victim of all of the above and to this day I do not feel “good enough”. Being so is harder than it sounds.
Absolutely LOVE her voice! The live version of this song is well...words can't even begin 2describe the awesomeness of a live rendition.
Can listen to that voice ALLLLL THE TIME.
I think Mirrorball is likely one of the best albums I have ever had the pleasure to listen to.
Song has been the story of my life since I was 12 (with a few blessed intermissions). A good song to listen to while planning an entirely new life somewhere else.

I also love that she was adopted by such loving parents that supported her from day one. Her parents must be so proud and so inspired by such an amazing daughter. I know I would!
I love her music still!!

Reminds me of the pain too. But listen to the words, "don't tell me I wan't good enough". People who don't appreciate people who have been there for somebody doesn't deserve them. I have moved on and realize that she didn't deserve what I gave to her.

One of my favorite artist..I love her music..it's so real and calming. Always makes me think.
This song is like a salve to the soul.
She "wants to Try to BE there." She is Trying and that says a lot. Even more so when the two try together you can tell there is lots of Love I'm sure whoever she is singing about has made her happy in the past and wants to continue to do so but doesn't know how to go about it. In Fact I believe even after the song was written they still made many great memories

what a beautiful song. I've heard it before, but I was actually listening listening to it at work today and the whole thing, beautiful.
This song popped into my head today, so I looked it up. I had a 10 yr relationship end very dramatically and suddenly last fall. I am still trying to make sense of it all. This song helped.
this is amazing songwriting and composing, songs that touch hearts and souls in a sincere and honest way.
This is music conceived on a higher plane.
