"At this moment, there are 6 billion, 4 hundred, 71 million, 8 hundred, 18 thousand, 6 hundred, 71 people in the world. Some are running scared.. some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day.. others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good.. struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls -- and sometimes.. all you need is 1."

You told me
I'm not pretty enough
I'm not smart enough
I'm not talented enough
I'm not good enough
I'm not happy enough
I'm not skinny enough
I'm not tall enough
I'm not loving enough
I'm just not enough
Now I'm actually starting to believe you
