Not Enough
The mirror, it's swaying;
 Reflection is wavering
 Can't stay still, 
 I want to get away!
 
 Just keep looking through my eyes--
 You're a beauty in disguise.
 Why are you people looking through glassy eyes at the mirror,
 Gazing at your reflections, searching for imperfections?
 
 Your eyes, they're foggy; your mind, not clear... 
 Always comparing and caring what another thinks of you—
 
 Why are you looking at yourself like a photograph on the wall?
 Comparing faces to others than your own?
 Not good enough, not good enough, not good enough—
 Why am I not good enough?
 
 Ask yourself these questions, ignore what's inside.
 Never think with your own mind, 
 You're just another clone;
 Are you truly different or are you just another's shadow?
 Why be the same?
 
 Why are you looking at yourself like a photograph on the wall,
 Comparing faces to others than your own?
 Not good enough, not good enough, not good enough—
 Why am I not good enough?
 
 Looking with glassy eyes...
 Why are you looking at yourself like a photograph on the wall?
 Comparing faces to others than your own?
 Not good enough, not good enough, not good enough—
 Why am I not good enough?
 
 Your mind's simply unclear...
 All you see are slurred visions...
 
 Why are you looking at yourself like a photograph on the wall?
 Comparing faces to others than your own?
 Not good enough, not good enough, not good enough—
 Why am I not good enough?
 
 Why are you not good enough?
 Why believe all others' thoughts, not your own voice?
 
 Why am I not good enough?
 Not good enough
 Not good enough
 Not good enough...

Think about it: Why do people like to conform so much and think that they're "not good enough"?
