Almost enough

Verse 1

Headlights cutting through a midnight haze

Backroad running like my runaway days

Whiskey on my breath, your name on my mind

Trying to leave both of ’em behind

Got your picture sitting on the dash

Next to dreams that didn’t last

Every mile feels like a memory

Of who you thought I’d never be

I told myself I’d be alright

But the truth hits different late at night

Pre-Chorus

Everybody thinks I’m doing fine

They don’t hear the war inside

Chorus

Yeah I’m always almost enough

Almost strong when the going gets rough

Almost healed when I’m giving up

Almost there but it ain’t quite love

Got a heart full of good intentions

But I fall short in every direction

No matter how hard I try to adjust

I’m always almost… enough

Verse 2

Friday crowd and a neon glow

Everybody dancing, letting go

I fake a smile, play it cool

But inside I’m breaking every rule

You said I never let you in

Like I was scared to really feel again

Maybe you were right back then

Maybe I just don’t know when

To hold on tight or walk away

I lose either way I play

Pre-Chorus

I keep chasing something I can’t name

Running circles in the same old pain

Chorus

Yeah I’m always almost enough

Almost strong when the going gets rough

Almost healed when I’m giving up

Almost there but it ain’t quite love

Got a heart full of good intentions

But I fall short in every direction

No matter how hard I try to adjust

I’m always almost… enough

Verse 3

Mama says I’m too hard on me

Daddy says just let it be

But they don’t know what it’s like

Fighting shadows every night

I see my friends settling down

Building roots in this small town

And I’m still chasing who I am

With a guitar and a shaking hand

Sometimes I wonder if I’m lost

Or just paying the growing cost

Bridge (Big Emotional Lift)

Maybe broken ain’t a curse

Maybe scars just make you learn

Maybe I’ve been looking wrong

For proof that I belong

What if enough ain’t being perfect

What if enough means you’re still working

Final Chorus (Anthem Style)

Maybe I’m more than almost enough

More than nights when life gets rough

More than times I feel stuck

More than every time I messed it up

Got a heart that keeps on beating

Even when the world keeps leaving

And maybe someday I’ll adjust

And finally feel like I’m enough

Outro

Sun coming up on a quiet town

Tears dry when the windows down

And for a second in that sunrise glow

I feel stronger than I used to know
