== General Information ==

''Written by: [[A. Lee]]''

Described as "a string-and-choir-infused closer distinguished as the band's first truly (almost) contented song" by [http://evanescence.com Evanescence.com], the song is reminiscent of the piano ballad [[Give Unto Me]] in it's purest form.

It is decidedly upbeat and showcases an Amy Lee that is letting someone in and who sounds happily in love. She thinks it is the bravest track on the album. “It’s totally scary to be so vulnerable when I know however many metalheads are going to diss it because it’s not the exact same thing [as the other songs],” Lee says. “And it doesn’t end with, ‘And then he died’ or ‘I pushed him off a cliff’ or ‘He’s a ghost really.’ It’s so cool to me and weird to me. I’ve never written a happy song, ever."

Amy's description of the song: <ref>C. Bottomley. [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1540914/story.jhtml Evanescence: Amy Lee Explains the New Songs] - VH1.com</ref>

<blockquote>"I had gone through a lot of difficult things during the writing of the whole album, and by the end of it, I had stepped away from those bad situations. That's really hard. You have to be really brave and strong about it. After doing that, I felt so amazing. For the first time I felt like I could write a song based on how good I felt. I have never done that before ever." </blockquote>

The song was inspired by Josh, Amy's then boyfriend and now husband (also the inspiration behind Bring Me to Life).

The song was announced the Fourth Single from [[The Open Door]], the video is set for recording 11-14 June and the video is supposed to be recorded in Budapest, Hungary, according to the Italian FanSite.

The single and video release are expected for the start of July.

The intro to this song came from a piece that Amy had written for Narnia, but was scrapped. A rumored b-side from the album, supposedly called "Together Again" is supposed to be the Narnia Song, and unless it is released in the fourth single for Good Enough, we may never hear what originally followed this beautiful and elaborate string/piano arrangement.

**The Narnia song was NOT cut up. The Good Enough intro is NOT part of the Narnia song. Amy Lee confirmed on EvBoards, that the Narnia song is still intact and MAY be a future B-side.

== Lyrics ==
Under your spell again 
I can't say no to you 
Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand 
I can't say no to you 
 
Shouldn't let you torture me so sweetly 
Now I can't let go of this dream 
I can't breathe but I feel 
Good enough 
I feel good enough for you 
 
Drink up sweet decadence 
I can't say no to you 
And I've completely lost myself and I don't mind 
I can't say no to you 
 
Shouldn't let you conquer me completely 
Now I can't let go of this dream 
Can't believe that I feel 
Good enough 
I feel good enough 
It's been such a long time coming, but I feel good 
 
And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall 
Pour real life down on me 
'Cause I can't hold on to anything this 
Good enough 
Am I good enough for you to love me too? 
 
So take care what you ask of me 
'Cause I can't say no
