Good enough

Verse 1

I learned your favorite colors,

Changed the way I wore my skin.

Counted every little failure

Like they'd teach me how to win.

You smiled at somebody else,

Like I was never in the room.

I kept watering dead flowers,

Waiting for them all to bloom.

Pre-Chorus

Every step I take,

The finish line moves.

Every piece I save,

Still ends up loose.

Chorus

Tell me...

How do I become good enough?

I've been running 'til my lungs gave up.

Changing every broken part of me,

But you're still searching for somebody.

Every time I almost reach your hand,

Another shadow's where I stand.

No matter how much I become,

There's always someone...

Someone better than the one I was.

So tell me,

Why am I never...

Good enough?

Verse 2

I memorized your silence,

Read the pages you never wrote.

Built a home inside your absence,

Called it love, called it hope.

Now every mirror whispers,

"Maybe if you lose some more."

Another dream falls from my pockets,

Joining all the ones before.

Pre-Chorus

I'm out of ways

To rewrite my name.

If I become someone else...

Would you stay?

Bridge

Maybe it was never about trying.

Maybe I was racing with the wind.

Every version that I sacrificed

Only disappeared into the distance.

How many hearts

Do I have to trade

Before somebody says,

"You don't have to change."

Final Chorus

Tell me...

How do I become good enough?

I've been bleeding just to earn your love.

You keep finding brighter galaxies

While I'm burning just to let you see.

Every finish turns into a start,

Another crack across my heart.

Maybe I was never meant to be

The one you'd choose...

And that's the hardest truth—

No matter what I do,

Someone new

Will always shine brighter

In your eyes than I do.

So I stop running...

Not because I won,

But because

I was never the race you wanted.

I'll never be...

Good enough.
