about

the debut single, "Not Good Enough for the Truth" from singer-songwriter mekel paints a painfully honest picture of the dissolution of trust and the consequential questioning of love thereafter.

lyrics

I found a voice note of the love song that you wrote me
3 years back you were thanking me for trusting
Said “commitments not my thing but for you, I swear, I would do anything"

I’ve tried to listen to it without breaking
But your voice sounds so earnest and sincere
I guess I’m just longing for that lost feeling
And the ignorance that our end was near

How was I to know
2 months later you’d let me go
For a moment that you say you now regret

The time cost everything
And now I’m listening
To a love song I can’t seem to forget

Now I wonder if you’ll ever write another
Only this time asking yourself why
You let me get away
When all I wanted was to stay
And run away to a parish just for us

Cos we had dreams of a wedding near the water
“Maybe it’s time for our families to meet”
My grandma texts me now and then asking if I’m better
But the truth is I can’t get off my feet

Cos I’m listening to a voice note that you wrote me
From way back in June ’18
The irony is crippling
When you know what happened after
But the sad part is that I never did

No, I’m not good enough for the truth for you
Yeah I’m not good enough for the truth
Why’d you promise me and say that we’d never lose?
If I wasn’t good enough for the truth

I feel foolish whenever I press play
With my phone beneath my pillow
You don’t feel far away
But the distance just keeps growing
And I force myself to knowing
That what once was can’t ever be
