sorry that I wasn't enough
Maxine Bramley 1971 (Sheffield)
I wish that I was good enough,
then you wouldn't have treated me that way.
I wish I was good enough,
then maybe you wouldn't have had to stray.
I wish I was good enough,
to make your love for me grow stronger.
I wish I was good enough,
then your eye's wouldn't have to wander.
I wish I was good enough,
not to have you break my heart into two.
I wish I was good enough,
that there'd be only ME AND YOU
THE END.
