Wasn't This Enough

[Intro] [soft guitar, building] [Verse 1 - Male, quiet] Thirty times we showed up Thirty times we won the fight Swallowed every doubt they fed us Still not good enough tonight Every game we played to win Every night we left it all But the scoreboard doesn't matter When you're on the wrong side of the wall [Pre-Chorus - building] Counted every victory They still won't let us through Tell me what you're measuring When perfect's not enough for you [Chorus - exploding] Wasn't this enough? Tell me, wasn't this enough? Thirty wins and nothing Still invisible, still rough We gave you everything And you just shrugged Wasn't this enough? Wasn't this enough? [Verse 2 - Male, raw] They change the rules mid-game Then tell us we don't qualify Stamp "rejected" on our forehead Never even look us in the eye Built this thing with cracked hands Nail by nail and scar by scar But the men who hold the clipboard Say we never crossed the bar [Pre-Chorus - building] So what's the point of fighting? When the ref is on their side When the finish line keeps moving No matter how we tried [Chorus - female joining, vocal interplay] Wasn't this enough? Tell me, wasn't this enough? Thirty wins and nothing Still invisible, still rough We gave you everything And you just shrugged Wasn't this enough? Wasn't this enough? [Bridge - Male, quiet, counter-emotion: dignity] I know what we built here I know what we did Don't need their blessing Don't need them to give it [Female] Let them keep their trophy case We've got something real Thirty perfect moments That no one can steal [Final Chorus - both, explosive, maximum defiance] Wasn't this enough? [Female] Tell me! Wasn't this enough? [Male] Tell me! Thirty wins and nothing But we're standing, we're standing up We gave you everything Yeah, we gave you everything [Both] And we won't give up! Wasn't this enough? [gang vocals] WASN'T THIS ENOUGH! [Outro - defiant, not fading] We know what we did We know what we built And that's enough [whispered] That's enough
