Lyrics for Song: My Best Wasn't Good Enough
Lyrics for Album: Urban Solitude [1999]



Let's say I'm feeling better

Let's say I'm feeling fine

Let's say I gave you all I had

And now I'm out of time

And my best wasn't good enough



And now there's time to wonder

Now there's time to heal

Time to let it all come down

But I don't know what I feel



But it aches and it hurts and it burns

Oh it kills me



Tick, tock, you don't stop

You don't fade

You just stay

But I'll do it all again



Tick, tock, you don't stop

You don't fade

You just stay

But I'll do it all again



Now don't you call me baby

Just don't pretend you care

Save your sorry for yourself

When Judas takes you there, oh yeah



Once I really believed

There was nothing out there for the lost and lonely

But a voice in my head kept banging on my heart

Says you're not the only one



But it kills me



Tick, tock, you don't stop

You don't fade

You just stay

But I'll do it all again



Tick, tock, you don't stop

You don't fade

You just stay

But I'll do it all again


My Best Wasn't Good Enough

Anouk's 'My Best Wasn't Good Enough' stands as a defining track from her 1999 album 'Urban Solitude,' capturing the melancholic essence of early 2000s electronic pop. The song reflects a period of introspection and emotional vulnerability, characteristic of Anouk's work during her transition from dance-pop to a more mature, acoustic-driven sound. Released alongside hits like 'Michel,' the recording showcases her signature blend of ethereal vocals and atmospheric production. It remains a staple in her discography, often cited as a prime example of her ability to convey deep personal sentiment through minimalist arrangements. The track continues to resonate with fans who appreciate its raw honesty and its place within the broader landscape of Dutch electronic music from the late nineties.
