Lyrics

You ever feel like You're just too much and never enough โ€” at the same time? This ain't poetry This is therapy I was tall for my age, too thin for the frame A shadow in daylight, they laughed at my name I stood like a giant, but broke like a twig No armor to wear, just a target that's big They cracked my bike brakes, cracked my skin Cracked my silence, let the darkness in I hit back once, got punished twice I was the fire They were the ice Held it in at home, lips zipped tight Mamma saw the flicker, not the full fight Dad tried his best, but I lied with a grin "Yeah, I'm fine," while I bled from within Tried to end it, but fate said "not yet" Now I carry that shame like unpaid debt Scars I don't show, nights I don't sleep Truths I still bury six memories deep Never good enough, never strong enough Never loud enough, never wrong enough I'm just tryna live, just tryna love But every step I take screams: not enough Ice under my feet, but my heart found flame Hockey gave me peace, gave me something to claim But outside the rink, the storm came fast First love left me like I was part of her past Then came mistakes Yeah, I ran too wild Metal to pedal like a reckless child Lost my license, lost my pride Found a cell and time to hide Earned my degree, but their eyes stayed cold "Not the right path," just another mold Lovers came, then turned away Like I was winter and they needed May Cheated on, ghosted, replaced in a breath Each goodbye felt a little like death Still I loved, still I tried Still I drowned with my hands open wide Never good enough, never strong enough Never soft enough, never long enough I give and I give, but it's never love Every word I hear says: not enough Fifteen years with a heart on a string Now it's unraveling โ€” every little thing Accused, confused, "You're not here for the kids" But they're my sun, my soul, every reason I live I hear the claims: "You don't care, you don't fight" But they never see the demons I battle each night I clean my own wounds I stitch my own skin I lose, I crawl, but I never give in So what am I now? A ghost or a man? A broken machine doing all that he can? I don't know the answer, but I still stand tall Even when hope is a whisper in the hall And maybe one day my kids will see That I kept on breathing so they could be free That even if the world said "You're not enough" I was always, always... more than love You ask what I am? I'm not perfect I'm not fixed But I'm still here And sometimes just surviving is enough
