Lyrics
Verse 1
I changed the way I talk
I changed the clothes I wear
I learned to read your silence
Like an answer hiding there
I tried to be your favorite
Tried to never make mistakes
But every time I gave more
There was something else to change
Pre-Chorus
I kept shrinking in the mirror
Trying to fit inside your view
Till I couldn't recognize
The person I was before you
Chorus
Was I never enough?
Or was enough never what you wanted?
I gave you every version
Of myself that I could become
And if I couldn't make you stay
That doesn't mean I failed
Maybe I was chasing love
That was never mine to hold
Verse 2
I counted every compliment
Like numbers on a screen
One day you called me beautiful
The next you barely looked at me
I kept waiting for the moment
When you'd finally understand
That I was standing right beside you
With my heart inside my hands
Bridge
I don't want to disappear
Just to make somebody stay
I don't want to call it love
If I have to lose myself that way
Final Chorus
I was always enough
Even when you couldn't see it
I don't need another person
To decide what I am worth
And if you couldn't make it work
That's not a flaw I have to hide
I was never not enough
I was just looking in the wrong eyes
Outro
Not enough for you
But enough to start again.
