When Will it be Enough

I'm a beginner guitarist having a try at songwriting... I'm not sure how it sounds, hopefully it's decent...

Lyrics:
Well you're so great and I can't get over the modest things you've said
You're so very amazed with yourself, you're a star in your own head
Who did you think would be lining up to be your backup crew?
Open your eyes, to your surprise there's no one there but you
When will it be enough?
What would it all be for?
You had everything
But you wanted more
Here you come, the one and only
Not at the top but you're still lonely
Who will you turn to for help
Now that you've lost all to yourself?
When will it be enough?
What would it all be for?
You had everything
But you wanted more

    Nice work! It was a little tough to hear the vocals at the beginning, but once you got warmed up and hit that chorus, it was clear as a bell. Do you have the lyrics posted somewhere too? Can you add them here?
    thanks!

    Thank you! I have issues with showing people my work, so this was a huge leap for me...

    Lesson learned: I can sing, and I can kind of play guitar, but I can NOT sing and play guitar at the same time.

    I think it sounds really good! You just need practice. How long have you been playing for?

    You're really good for that short of time playing!

    Same here! I play piano, and everyone is like "You should sing and play", and I'm like, "Yeah. Ok. But only if you want to be deaf for the rest of your life" :)

    XD I'm sure it's not that bad. It just takes practice. But I'm sure we all wish we could have a soundproof room to practice in...

    As in I wish I could have a soundproof room, not that I have one.
    XD
