[Verse 1]
I learned my name in rooms
That never felt like home
A hand on my shoulder
Still left me alone
I brought you my bright heart
You called it too much
I was always reaching
You were always shut
[Pre-Chorus]
And I tried to be enough
Tried to fold myself small
But love came with a ledger
And I paid it all
[Chorus]
Never enough, never enough
That was the lesson
Never enough, never enough
I wore the question
Choose one love
Lose the rest
I broke in half
To do my best
(never enough)
(never enough)
[Verse 2]
You gave me an answer
With your cold, hard lines
My family or my own heart
You made me decide
So I chose the men I loved
With a shaking hand
Then the door got quiet
And I lost my land
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the chairs sit empty
Where your voices used to stay
I keep touching old scars
Like they might explain
[Chorus]
Never enough, never enough
That was the lesson
Never enough, never enough
I wore the question
Choose one love
Lose the rest
I broke in half
To do my best
(never enough)
(never enough)
[Bridge]
If I could go back
I'd ask for one kind look
One day unmeasured
One page in your book
But the child in me
Is still at the door
Still saying please
Still asking for more
[Final Chorus]
Never enough, never enough
That was the lesson
Never enough, never enough
I wore the question
Choose one love
Lose the rest
I broke in half
To do my best
Never enough, never enough
I hear it in my head
Never enough, never enough
And I love you still instead
(never enough)
(never enough)
