I Should’ve Been Enough

[Verse 1]

I folded my heart into origami

Held it out to you, hoping you’d see me

Gave you love with both hands wide

You took what you needed, then left me behind

[Verse 2]

I watched you fall for softer lights

For someone louder, someone right

I tried to shrink to fit your frame

But I disappeared inside your name

[Chorus]

I should’ve been enough

But I was always second place to love

I bent, I broke, I bled, I stayed

Still wasn’t worth the mess we made

I should’ve been your sun, your sky

But you just passed me by

I should’ve been enough…

But you loved me like a maybe

[Verse 3]

You called me perfect in disguise

But kept your eyes on other lives

I changed my laugh, my words, my skin

Hoping you’d finally let me in

[Pre-Chorus]

You said "it’s not you, it’s me"

But baby, that lie ain’t free

I’m the one who paid the cost

For the pieces of myself I lost

[Chorus]

I should’ve been enough

But I was just your warm-up love

You drained me dry, then asked for more

Left my heart on your front door

I should’ve been your only flame

But you forgot my name

I should’ve been enough…

But you loved me like a maybe

[Bridge]

I whispered prayers into the night

For someone to hold me right

But all I held was echo pain

From chasing someone who never came

[Final Chorus]

I should’ve been enough

And now I’m done chasing scraps of love

I’ll patch my soul, I’ll lift my head

Let go of every tear I bled

'Cause I am more than what you see

More than your indecency

I should’ve been enough...

And now I am—for me.
