[Verse 1]
🎙 You say I’m everything you needed
But somehow never everything you want
I dress in patience, sleep in silence
While you chase a ghost I’m not
🎙 I learned the shape of your sorrow
Like it was carved into my skin
And still you only see tomorrow
With the past you’re buried in
[FX: distant reverb piano swell, subtle strings join]
[Chorus]
🎙 I’ll never be enough, no matter how I try
No matter how I hold you
No matter how I cry
You’ll never choose the girl
Who's standing in your arms
You’ll keep reaching for the ashes
Of a fire that did you harm
🎙 We will never be enough
I was just the one who stayed
But you only want the ones
Who walk away
[Verse 2]
🎙 I’ve kissed your scars like scriptures
Memorized your broken parts
I gave you every piece of me
You gave her all your heart
🎙 And I don’t hate you for the loving
That you lost along the way
I just wish I could forget
How it felt to beg you to stay
[Chorus – stronger vocally, fuller strings]
🎙 I’ll never be enough, no matter how I bend
No matter how I heal you
You still won’t let me in
You’ll never choose the girl
Who bleeds to make you whole
You’ll keep chasing empty shadows
Calling that a soul
🎙 We will never be enough
We were built to break and fade
'Cause you only miss the ones
Who walk away
[Bridge – stripped back to solo piano]
🎙 And I know I should be angry
But all I feel is small
Like the silence in your arms
Is louder than it all
[FX: whispered echo: “I was never the one…”]
[Final Chorus – fragile, breathy, minimal instrumental]
🎙 I’ll never be enough, I finally see
You were never really here
Not even when you touched me
You’ll never choose the love
That fights and stays and stays
You only write your tragedies
In names that got away
🎙 We will never be enough
But I still loved you anyway
[FX: long breath out, ambient fade, piano sustains]
[Spoken Word Outro – raw, whispered delivery]
🗣 “You don’t have to say it… I already know.
I was a chapter.
She was your whole story.”
[FX: silence. One soft piano note. End.]
