Not Enough For You

Verse 1

I used to think we were unbreakable

Two years felt like forever in my hands

I gave you pieces I was scared to show

Built you up while I could barely stand

All my friends could see the cracks

They told me I was fading fast

But I kept choosing you instead

While losing who I was

Pre-Chorus

I held you when you couldn’t breathe

Walked you outside so no one would see

You cried in my arms, I stayed all night

But when I needed you — you were out of sight

Chorus

All my friends were there for me, but you weren’t

You left me crying alone in a cage

I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t speak

You made a joke of all my pain

And when I finally said how I felt

You called me crazy, turned the blame

I gave you everything I had

Still I was never enough for you

Verse 2

Sixteen candles, my birthday night

You found a way to steal the light

Sat downstairs, made it about you

Like you always somehow do

Every time it was your tears

Everybody had to hear

But when I was breaking down

I was invisible in the crowd

You let your friends talk shit about me

You never stood up, never chose me

But I defended you every time

Even when you crossed the line

Pre-Chorus

You said it’s weird I’m still in pain

Like healing’s something I can fake

But you drained me till I disappeared

And blamed me for the mess you made

Chorus

All my friends were there for me, but you weren’t

You left me shaking in my own skin

I lost myself trying to keep you close

Forgot the girl I’ve always been

And when I spoke up one last time

The whole world turned against my name

I gave you everything I had

Still I was never enough for you

Bridge

I’m done shrinking for your ego

Done being silent so you glow

I was sweet, I was loyal

You were poison dressed as royal

I’m finding pieces of myself

You never cared to help me hold

You don’t get to break my heart

And still pretend you’re made of gold

Final Chorus (stronger)

My friends were there — and now I see it

You were the one who let me fall

You left me crying in that cage

But I’m not trapped there anymore

I can breathe without your voice

I can stand without your chains

I gave you everything I had

Now I’m taking back my name

Outro

You said I wasn’t enough

But I was too much for you.
