My husband, a nice guy who changed his mind, just told me last night that our marriage is done. Out of the blue and without a warning. And I've never cried hard in my life until I actually listened to lyrics of this song(after playing it on repeat for a month now). I'm pretty devastated at the thought that I'm about to lose my bestfriend and the man I dearly love. I tried my best to be the best wife I can be, but I guess I was good, just wan't good enough.

[Verse 1]
I guess I took it for granted
You'd bury me someday
All the big plans that I planted
While you planned your own escape
Never thought I was the greatest
But I was great for you
Just assumed I was your favorite
With no one else to choose
[Pre-Chorus]
I try to kiss your face, you turn away
No one ever taught me the protocol
What do you do when the good guys change their mind?
[Chorus]
'Cause I used to think that if I tried my best I'd always win
But I'll sit in your favorite dress and ask you where you've been
PeoplŠµ don't leave peoplŠµ if they really are in love
I was good, just wasn't good enough
I was good, just wasn't good enough
[Verse 2]
There were four eyes in the garden
Two cried but two looked down
Now you're asking for a pardon
'Cause I'm a good time pound for pound
And you say this was a hard one
But lately you felt stuck
And I thought I was first place
But I was runner-up
[Pre-Chorus]
I try to kiss your face, you turn away
No one ever taught me the protocol
What do you do when the good guys change their mind?
[Chorus]
'Cause I used to think that if I tried my best I'd always win
But I'll sit in your favorite dress and ask you where you've been
People don't leave people if they really are in love
I was good, just wasn't good enough
I was good, just wasn't good enough
[Bridge]
I never said I was perfect
Just thought I was perfect for you
But all that was worthless
'Cause if I couldn't be one, I wouldn't ever be two
Thought I was the way home, but I was an obstacle to move
I never said I was perfect
Like you
[Chorus]
'Cause I used to think that if I tried my best I'd always win
But I'll sit in your favorite dress and wonder how you've been
And did you ever mean it when you said you were in love?
I was good, just wasn't good enough
I was good, just wasn't good enough
[Outro]
I was good, just wasn't good enough

I remember back in March when I met Maisie in a small cafe in Denver before her concert, I remember the moment I looked into her eyes in person and somehow that memory makes this video hit different. I think we seem to put amazing people like her on a sort of pedestal and forget that their human and they hurt just as much as we do they just know how to express it in a much different way. I would love this song even if I hadnāt met her but that experience really made me feel this song even deeper. Iām not trying to rub it in anyoneās face that I met her I just want everyone to always remember there is a real person behind every one of her songs and to never take it for granted that she shares songs like these with us. Thank you Maisie for the song and that moment in that cafe, Iāll always love both of them.
