[Verse 1]
You never promised forever.
You never slammed the door.
You’d leave it cracked just open enough
To make me hope for more.
One good call could erase
Three weeks of wondering why.
I’d live on breadcrumbs for a feast
You never had in mind.
[Pre-Chorus]
You’d pull me close.
Then push away.
I’d spend the silence
Explaining yesterday.
[Chorus]
You loved me just enough
To keep me hanging on.
Just enough to make me think
The worst was almost gone.
One good night, one kind word,
One song, one little spark.
Just enough to light a match…
Never enough to beat the dark.
[Verse 2]
You’d ask me how I was doing,
Then disappear for days.
Show me pieces of the man I loved,
Then hide him just the same.
I’d tell myself, “He’s coming back.”
“I’ve seen that side before.”
Not realizing every time,
It cost a little more.
[Bridge]
Maybe if you’d been all bad,
I’d have walked away.
Maybe if you’d been all good,
We’d still be okay.
But somewhere in between
Is where I lost myself.
Chasing moments, not a man…
Living on “what if” instead.
[Final Chorus]
You loved me just enough
To make leaving feel wrong.
Just enough to build my hope,
Never enough to build a home.
I kept waiting for consistency
To finally find its way.
But “just enough” was all you had…
And I deserved more than someday.
[Outro]
It wasn’t the silence that broke me.
It wasn’t the goodbye.
It was believing the next “I miss you”
Would finally be the last time I’d have to wonder why.
