[Intro – quiet guitar, soft feedback] [Verse 1 – quiet, tired voice] I stayed with you When you were dying Hospital lights Buzzing above us Counting your breaths Instead of sleeping Holding the night Together with you I took the words People threw at you Let them fall on me Instead of you I wiped the blood From shaking hands Telling myself This is love [Pre-Chorus – tension building] I gave you my sleep I gave you my strength Pieces of me I never get back [Chorus – loud distorted guitars] Why wasn’t I good enough When I gave you everything I broke myself Trying to save you Still you walked away Still you walked away [Verse 2 – quiet again] I used my hands Trying to heal you Tracing slow circles Across your skin I swallowed pain So you could breathe Said I was fine When I was breaking I learned your scars Like a language Every silence Every warning sign [Pre-Chorus] I stayed right there When leaving was easier [Chorus – bigger, more aggressive] Why wasn’t I good enough When I stayed through everything I bled love Into your wounds Still you walked away Still you walked away [Bridge – stripped down] Tell me what was missing Tell me what I lacked I gave you everything And still you turned your back [Final Chorus – loudest section] Why wasn’t I good enough When I gave you everything I broke myself Trying to save you Still you walked away Still you walked away [Outro – fading guitar noise] If love is measured in pain I gave you more than enough.
