Nothing’s Ever Right

Verse 1

I learned to walk on broken glass

Trying not to make a sound

Every word I ever spoke

Still got shot down to the ground

You looked at me with empty eyes

Like I was just a shame

A child begging for your arms

But never hearing my name

Pre-Chorus

All I wanted was a little light

A hand to hold me through the night

But every door was locked inside

And every tear I cried denied

Chorus

Nothing’s ever right

Nothing’s ever good enough

We were only children

Trying hard to feel your love

But all we got were bruises

And the coldness in your voice

You gave us fear instead of safety

Like we never had a choice

We just wanted love and closeness

But you pushed us far away

Now the silence screams inside us

Every single day

Verse 2

Your anger lived in every room

Like thunder in the walls

And every little accident

Turned into our fault

We learned to hide our broken hearts

Behind obedient smiles

Walking on a battlefield

For miles and miles and miles

Pre-Chorus

All I wanted was to make you proud

To hear “I love you” said out loud

But every time I reached for you

You made me feel impossible

Chorus

Nothing’s ever right

Nothing’s ever good enough

We were only children

Trying hard to feel your love

But all we got were punishments

And scars we couldn’t hide

You tore apart the innocence

We carried deep inside

We just wanted warmth and comfort

A place where we belonged

But you turned our home to darkness

Where everything felt wrong

Bridge

Now we grow older with the ghosts

Of words we can’t forget

Still searching in the hearts of others

For the love we never met

And somewhere deep beneath the pain

A child still waits to hear

“You are worthy… you are wanted…

And I’m sorry I wasn’t there.”

Final Chorus

Nothing’s ever right

That’s what you made us believe

But we are more than all the wounds

You left us underneath

And though you never held us close

We’ll learn to heal somehow

The love we begged for yesterday

We’ll finally give ourselves now

Outro

We were only children…

Wanting to be loved.
