Not Enough

[Verse 1] I’ve stood beneath the brightest light, Heard my name echo through the night. I’ve felt the world hang on each word, But somehow still, I go unheard. [Pre-Chorus] I’ve chased the dreams they said were gold, But found no warmth in what I hold. The silence grows beneath the sound— What I need can’t be found... [Chorus] 'Cause this is not enough, not what I need, Not the truth that sets me free. You could give me stars, and I’d still feel this— Longing for something more than this. The lights may shine, but they don’t stay, They fade like echoes slip away. I want a fire that won’t resist— I’m reaching for something more than this. [Verse 2] They see the strength behind my smile, But I’ve been breaking all the while. I give my all, but still, I fall, I’m standing tall, but feel so small. [Pre-Chorus 2] No mirror shows what’s deep inside, The parts of me I always hide. But now I’m done with hollow praise— I want love that stays... [Chorus – repeat with more intensity] 'Cause this is not enough, not what I need, Not the truth that sets me free. You could give me stars, and I’d still feel this— Longing for something more than this. The lights may shine, but they don’t stay, They fade like echoes slip away. I want a fire that won’t resist— I’m reaching for something more than this. [Bridge – emotional peak] I don’t want perfect, I just want real, A place to breathe, a way to feel. I’ve climbed so high, but in the end, I just want more than to pretend. [Final Chorus – stripped, then soaring] This is not enough, it never was, Not the kind of love that stays because— It shines or sings or feels like bliss... I want something more than this. Let it burn, let it be true, I’d trade the world just to find you. No more hiding in the mist— I’m choosing something more than this.
