Lyrics

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Four in the morning and I still can't sleep

Verse 1

You say that you love me and I want to believe it

But my chest gets heavy every time that you leave it

I reread your messages like they're gonna change

Conversations in my head and I rearrange the blame

Pre-Chorus

You give me everything I begged for

Still I'm standing at the door

Hand on the handle letting go again

Why do I do this every time

Chorus

Nothing's ever enough

No matter how much you give

I keep chasing after something

That I don't know if it exists

Love me harder hold me closer

And I'll still be left here missing

Nothing's ever enough

For the empty in my ribs

Verse 2

You tell me that you're staying and I call it a lie

Push you to the distance just to test if you try

I want you to need me but I'm scared of the truth

That maybe I'm the one who's running out on you

Pre-Chorus

You hand me every reason to be whole

And I count the reasons I should go

Afraid to be the one abandoned first

So I break us up before it hurts

Chorus

Nothing's ever enough

No matter how much you give

I keep chasing after something

That I don't know if it exists

Love me harder hold me closer

And I'll still be left here missing

Nothing's ever enough

For the empty in my ribs

Bridge

Money on the table friends all in the room

Highs that last a second gone too soon

And I keep getting what I always thought I wanted

But the quiet stays inside the room

Chorus

Nothing's ever enough

No matter how much you give

I keep chasing after something

That I don't know if it exists

Love me harder hold me closer

And I'll still be left here missing

Nothing's ever enough

Nothing's ever enough

For the empty in my ribs
