STILL NOT ENOUGH

V6

[Intro] There’s a voice inside my head It knows exactly where to cut I can prove the whole world wrong And still not be enough [Verse 1] I wake up behind the starting gun In a race no one can see Every mirror reads a verdict Every thought cross-examines me You should’ve done more You should’ve been stronger Look where they are Why are you taking longer? I run until my lungs give out Then curse the slowing down A hundred voices call my name One whisper drowns them out [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know when I learned That love had to be earned But I’ve been paying for it With every bridge I burn [Chorus] STILL NOT ENOUGH That’s the song inside my head I give it all I’ve got It moves the line ahead STILL NOT ENOUGH No matter how I climb I reach the top; it leans in close: “Not this time” Not strong enough Not good enough Not who I thought I’d become I’m tired of chasing A finish line that runs STILL NOT ENOUGH That’s the lie I’ve always known Maybe the hardest thing I’ll ever do Is sing a different song [Verse 2] I replay each failure Like a record with a scratch Every word I left unspoken Every door that slammed me back Praise slides off my shoulders One sharp word cuts too deep Give me one small crack to doubt I’ll carry it in my sleep I compare my basement To their rooftop view Then wonder why the man inside me Can’t tell false from true [Pre-Chorus] How long can you punish yourself For being human underneath? How many years can you hold your breath Before you let yourself breathe? [Chorus] STILL NOT ENOUGH That’s the song inside my head I give it all I’ve got It moves the line ahead STILL NOT ENOUGH No matter how I climb I reach the top; it leans in close: “Not this time” Not strong enough Not good enough Not who I thought I’d become I’m tired of chasing A finish line that runs STILL NOT ENOUGH That’s the lie I’ve always known Maybe the hardest thing I’ll ever do Is sing a different song [Bridge – stripped down] What if that voice is lying? What if it always has? What if I judge my whole life By everything I lack? What if surviving counts? What if getting up is brave? What if worth is more than All the things I couldn’t save? I spent my whole life Trying to become someone I could finally love But the face behind the mirror Wasn’t asking me to change It was waiting in the dark For me to say its name I am not my worst mistake Not the miles I haven’t run I don’t have to earn tomorrow To deserve this morning sun [Final Chorus] I’VE ALWAYS BEEN ENOUGH That’s the truth beneath the noise I don’t have to earn my worth I don’t have to raise my voice I’VE ALWAYS BEEN ENOUGH Even broken, scared, and worn The line was never moving I was facing the wrong way all along Not strong enough? No, I’m strong enough Not good enough? I’m good enough Not who I thought I’d become? I’m more than what I’ve done I’VE ALWAYS BEEN ENOUGH Let the old lie lose its hold I spent my whole life trying to earn What was mine to hold I’VE ALWAYS BEEN ENOUGH Let it rise, let it come through The hardest thing I’ll ever do Is believe what’s true I’VE ALWAYS BEEN ENOUGH I’ve always been enough [Outro] The voice is getting smaller Like a train beneath the ground I don’t have to chase the silence I can let it fade out now The finish line is gone No distance left to prove I take one breath inside this life And let it carry me through No crown, no final answer No perfect shape to become Just my feet beneath me, steady And the morning coming on I’VE ALWAYS BEEN ENOUGH The light is in the room I’VE ALWAYS BEEN ENOUGH And I’m finally facing it too
