Still Not Enough

Still Not Enough

I gave my heart, I gave my time

Crossed the line to make it right

Held my breath, I bit my tongue

Carried more than I ever should’ve done

Smiled through storms, danced through pain

Tried so hard to stay the same

But every mirror tells me lies

I’m tired of wearing this disguise

They say I should be proud somehow

But it still doesn’t feel like now...

Why do I still feel not enough?

When I gave the world, gave all my love

Climbed so high just to fall

And no one saw the cost at all

I tried my best, I swear I did

But it still feels like I’m the kid

Who’s always reaching, never tough

No matter what, it’s not enough

Wrote my worth in empty lines

Counted flaws a thousand times

Every “yes” and every “no”

Still left me standing in the cold

They say, “You’re strong, you’ve come so far”

But they don’t see the quiet scars

I gave it all, I gave it true

But still feel like I’m losing you

I keep on running toward the light

But something whispers,"Not quite right"

Why do I still feel not enough?

When I gave the world, gave all my love

I showed up when I was weak

But silence is the praise I keep

I tried my best, I bled my name

Still no one stays, it feels the same

And though I’m brave, and though I’m tough

It always hurts — still not enough

If giving everything means nothing left

Then who am I trying to impress?

I just want peace behind my eyes

Not this war I can’t define

Why do I still feel not enough?

When I’ve carried more than most could touch

Every tear, a quiet scream

That I still don’t know what “worthy” means

I gave my best, I gave it true

But I can’t seem to break through

Maybe I am… maybe I was...

But it still feels like...

Still not enough...

Still not... enough...
