Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You said, "baby, don’t you worry"

but you don’t meet my eyes

Forks scrape on chipped-up dishes

both of us memorizing lies

I keep checking every corner

for the ghost of who we were

You pour coffee, change the subject

I ask if this is what I deserve

[Chorus]

I’m always almost, never enough

too soft, too loud, too tender, too tough

I bend till I’m breaking just to measure up

and you still say you’re lonely, still say it’s rough

Guess I’m just barely, barely good enough

for the ones I love

[Verse 2]

Mama’s voice on Sunday

says, "you doing alright?"

I say I’m fine, then change it

to "I’m trying" mid-sigh

She says I got my father’s worry

and my granddad’s heavy hands

All these people that I’d die for

I can’t live up to what they plan

[Chorus]

I’m always almost, never enough

too meek, too proud, too tender, too tough

I bend till I’m breaking just to measure up

and you still say you’re lonely, still say it’s rough

Guess I’m just barely, barely good enough

for the ones I love

[Bridge]

I stand in the mirror asking

"who taught you this math of worth?"

Adding up every flaw and fracture

subtracting all the grace you’ve earned

Maybe loving me is harder

than the stories in their heads

But I’m here, heart on the table

bleeding truth in every breath I’ve bled (oh)

[Chorus]

I’m always almost, never enough

too much, too little, too easy to trust

I bend till I’m breaking just to measure up

and you still say you’re lonely, still say it’s rough

But I’m done being barely, barely good enough

for the ones I love

[Outro]

So I pour out that cold coffee

and I put on my old boots

If I ain’t your idea of worthy

I’ll go find someone who calls this

more than enough
