[Verse 1] I keep replaying every word we said Every silence that landed like a weight I tried to be the man you needed But it never seemed to be enough Now I’m sitting with this heavy truth That maybe I’ve been the problem all along The one who couldn’t get it right The one who’s left feeling so wrong [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know if I’m holding on too tight Or if I should finally let it go All I know is the pain keeps growing And I don’t know which way to turn [Chorus] Am I the failure? Is that the story now? The one who tried and still fell short The one who couldn’t figure out how Am I the failure? The reason this feels so hard I carry it in my chest every day This weight that won’t let me guard My heart from breaking again [Verse 2] You say you want a team But it never quite becomes one I show up broken, tired, in pain And somehow still feel like I’m the one Who ruins the quiet Who makes it worse just by being here I love you more than I can say But love don’t seem to make it clear [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know if I’m holding on too tight Or if I should finally let it go All I know is the pain keeps growing And I don’t know which way to turn [Chorus] Am I the failure? Is that the story now? The one who tried and still fell short The one who couldn’t figure out how Am I the failure? The reason this feels so hard I carry it in my chest every day This weight that won’t let me guard My heart from breaking again [Bridge] I’ve made my bed and now I lie in it That’s what it feels like most days Still wanting forever with you While wondering if I should walk away I’m confused, I’m hurting, I’m tired Of feeling like I’m never enough But part of me still reaches for you Even when the reaching gets rough [Final Chorus] Am I the failure? Maybe I am, maybe I’m not All I know is this pain is real And it’s all I’ve got Am I the failure? I don’t have the answer tonight I’m just here in the middle of it Trying to survive the fight [Outro] Am I the failure… Or just a man who’s lost and hurting Still here Still unsure
