Lyrics

[acoustic guitar opening]

[slight orchestral undertones in the background]

[Verse 1]

I was given away before I knew my name

So I grew up thinking love was a fragile thing

Like maybe I cried too loud

Or needed too much

So they had to let me go

I tell myself it was for the best

But a part of me still takes it personal

Like I wasn’t worth the fight

Like I wasn’t enough to hold

[Pre-Chorus]

Now every goodbye feels like déjà vu

Every door feels like it’s halfway closed

I keep waiting for the moment

When you decide I’m too much too

[Chorus]

I’ve been trying to be perfect

Since I learned how to breathe

‘Cause if I mess up once

You might stop loving me

I know that’s not fair

But it’s what I believe

When you’re given up once

You never stop asking, “Is it me?”

So I apologize for everything

Even things I didn’t do

I’ve been trying to earn a love

I should’ve already known was true

[Verse 2]

When my parents fell apart

I felt like I broke them somehow

Like if I was easier to love

They might’ve stayed around

So I became the quiet kid

Who never caused a scene

Learned how to disappear

Just to keep the peace

I learned mistakes meant danger

Not just learning how to grow

So now every little failure

Feels like I’m gonna be alone

Pre-Chorus

I don’t just fear being wrong

I fear being left

[Chorus]

I’ve been trying to be perfect

Since I was eight years old

Trying not to give you a reason

To let me go

I know you say you won’t

But my heart still needs proof

‘Cause love left once before

And it left scars that never moved

So I’m sorry for the things

I didn’t even mean

I’m just scared if I’m human

You won’t stay with me

[emotional string solo]

[Bridge]

Maybe I wasn’t a mistake

Maybe love was just afraid

Maybe two broken people

Couldn’t find their way

But a child shouldn’t have to carry that

Blame shouldn’t live that deep

I was never too much

I was just needing to be seen

[Final Chorus]

I’m done trying to be perfect

Just to earn a place

I’m learning I don’t have to bleed

To deserve to be safe

I still mess up every day

But I’m trying to heal

From a kid who thought being loved

Was something you had to appeal

I wasn’t too much

I wasn’t the flaw

I was just a child

Trying to feel wanted at all

Wanted…
