Never Good Enough

Nothing is ever good enough for us.
We get what we want, but it's never enough.
There always has to be something better out there.
Everything, from who we love,
To what we wear.
You get what you need,
But you still want more,
Because the most someone can give is never enough.
If you don't get what you want you put up a fuss.
And they give all they can,
But you don't want it anymore.
"There is someone better."
And you think you are sure.
Our heads mess with us,
Our eyes close in shame.
You have all you need,
But it's just not the same.
Having all you want,
You would hold the world.
But when you have everything
Will it ever be enough?
Will all someone can give ever be adequate?
Will all you have ever be all you please?
Will we ever quit our greed?
Will our hunger for more ever decease?
Will we ever be good and true?
When will my best be good enough for you?
