Song Meaning of “What Was Good Enough for You” by Jeremy Jordan
This song tells the story of a broken relationship that the protagonist is struggling to get over. He reflects on what he had with the person, asking if it was ever good enough for them, ultimately concluding that they were not. He acknowledges that his love for the person will never change, though he has to move on with life. The message of this song is that sometimes things don’t last forever and that it is human to want the past to linger longer than it should. The refusal to accept this reality is a harsh realization for the protagonist, but it is one he must confront in order to move on and break free from the chains that bind his heart.
