[Verse 1] I keep your little checkmark pinned beside my name Refresh until the numbers tell me I’m okay I miss the bus, I miss the call, I miss my sister’s meal Just to watch a stranger tap a heart that isn’t real [Pre-Chorus] I trade the thing I meant to say For what might make you stay [Chorus] Tell me I’m enough, tell me again I spend my whole life auditioning for friends I bend till every honest edge is gone Then wonder why I don’t know what I want Tell me I’m enough, just once, just then— I’ll be back tomorrow asking you again [Verse 2] Your silence turns the hallway into evidence and court I write three careful versions of a simple little thought The rent is late, the kettle’s cold, my people stopped by twice I said “I’m fine” so smoothly I almost believed the lie [Pre-Chorus] I make a home inside your praise And lose my own address [Chorus] Tell me I’m enough, tell me again I spend my whole life auditioning for friends I bend till every honest edge is gone Then wonder why I don’t know what I want Tell me I’m enough, just once, just then— I’ll be back tomorrow asking you again [Breakdown] Take back the key I gave away I can’t keep living on display No more measuring my breath By the room’s approval yet [Bridge] If you love me, let me disagree Let me leave a message unanswered and breathe I’ll show up late to my own defense And learn that a boundary isn’t the end [Final Chorus] I am enough, even unseen I’m more than the sum of your changing screen I’ll keep the parts I nearly erased And give my own name a little more space I am enough; I’ll say it again No more auditioning to be let in [Outro] The kettle sings; I call my sister back The day is mine, and I am coming back
