Listen

I may never have been good enough to introduce to your friends,

Not good enough to meet your parents or go to openings,

Not good enough to drop everything for and sacrifice yourself,

Not good enough to the first in your book...

But I'll tell you one thing, dearest:
I am good enough to meet all your friends.

I am good enough to impress your parents.

I am good enough to be sacrificed for.

I am good enough to be first.

Maybe I'll never be good enough for you.

Maybe I'll never be smart enough for you.

Maybe I'll never be pretty enough for you.

Maybe I'll never be worth it all to you.

Maybe I'll never be strong enough for you.

Maybe I'll never be the one you want.

But...

I am good enough for myself.

I am smart enough for myself.

I am pretty enough for myself.

I am worth enough for myself.

I am good enough for whatever I want.

Either love me, or don't... but if you do not...

There will be someone else willing to love me...

Someone else willing to fight for me...

Someone willing to work for me...

There will be someone else

To take the vacant place at my side.

I can guarantee that.

What I cannot guarantee

Is that I'll be as happy with him

As I ever was with you.

Or that you'll be as happy with anyone else

As you could have been with me.

Tell me to stay, and I won't leave your side,

Tell me to go, and I'll be out.
