Wasn't Enough

Verse 1

I had a whole world saved up to give

Painted in corners nobody saw

Every morning I meant to begin

Then the hours slipped through my fingers and jaw

They said I was wasting my youth

Said I was taking too long

I kept my answers tucked in my coat

And my dreams in a half-written song

Pre-Chorus

And I never got to show you

The version of me that was waiting

I never got to show you

Chorus

So hold me like a debt you owe

Hold me like a door you won't close

I gave what I had and it wasn't enough

Wasn't enough to keep you

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Wasn't enough

Oh-oh oh-oh

Wasn't enough to keep you

Verse 2

I wanted a desk and a name of my own

Wanted to prove I could stand

But the room kept talking over my voice

And I shrank like a shell in the sand

And you came along with your patient hands

Told me the rush could wait

But I was already half in the past

Standing outside my own gate

Pre-Chorus

And I never got to show you

The version of me that was certain

I never got to show you

Chorus

So hold me like a debt you owe

Hold me like a door you won't close

I gave what I had and it wasn't enough

Wasn't enough to keep you

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Wasn't enough

Oh-oh oh-oh

Wasn't enough to keep you

Bridge

I was tired I was trying I was quiet I was loud

I was every broken promise that I made inside a crowd

If you'd waited one more winter

If you'd waited one more year

I'd have handed you the whole of me

And nothing left to fear

Chorus

So hold me like a debt you owe

Hold me like a door you won't close

I gave what I had and it wasn't enough

Wasn't enough to keep you

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Wasn't enough

Oh-oh oh-oh

Wasn't enough to keep you

Chorus

Hold me like a debt you owe

Hold me like a door you won't close

I gave what I had and it wasn't enough

Wasn't enough to keep you

Outro

Wasn't enough

Wasn't enough

Mm
