[Verse 1]

I gave you pieces I could never get back,

Built you a heaven just to watch it crack.

Every word you said felt half-alive,

Like love was just a game you played to survive.

I tried to hold you, but you slipped through my hands,

Always one step past where I stand.

And every time I thought I knew what to do,

You moved the line — I kept chasing you.

[Pre-Chorus]

And maybe I should’ve seen the signs,

But I kept rewriting all your lines.

You said “I love you,” but not like I do —

[Chorus]

It’s never enough for you,

No matter what I say or do.

You take my heart, you tear it in two,

And still I come back, I always do.

You want the stars, but I gave you the sky,

You want the truth, but live in a lie.

Guess I’ll never be the one that you choose —

I’m never enough for you.

[Verse 2]

You say you’re scared, you’ve been hurt before,

But I’ve been bleeding outside your door.

I gave you light, you asked for flame,

Now I’m the one left holding blame.

You love the chase, not what you find,

You love control, not peace of mind.

And every tear I cried was proof,

That pain was the price for loving you.

[Pre-Chorus]

And maybe I should’ve walked away,

But I kept hoping you’d want to stay.

You said “I need you,” but not like I do —

[Chorus]

It’s never enough for you,

No matter what I say or do.

You take my heart, you tear it in two,

And still I come back, I always do.

You want the stars, but I gave you the sky,

You want the truth, but live in a lie.

Guess I’ll never be the one that you choose —

I’m never enough for you.

[Bridge]

Maybe someday you’ll look my way,

And see the love you threw away.

But by then I’ll be gone,

And your echo’s all that’ll play.

[Final Chorus]

It’s never enough for you,

But I’m done breaking in two.

You’ll reach for me, but I’ll be gone,

You’ll hear my voice in every song.

I gave you the world, you wanted more,

Now I’m the one who’s closing the door.

And maybe someday you’ll feel it too —

What it’s like to love someone like you.
