If I Was Enough

Lyrics

Verse 1 Everybody says I’ll find my place someday Like it’s waiting on a shelf with my name I’ve been trying on versions of myself But they all feel borrowed anyway Some nights I stare at the ceiling fan Thinking maybe I just don’t understand How everybody makes it look so easy While I’m learning how to stand ⸻ Pre-Chorus Maybe I’m not made of steel Maybe that’s okay Maybe all these broken pieces Don’t have to hide away ⸻ Chorus If I was enough Would you see me different? Would you hear my heart Behind all my distance? If I dropped the mask Would you still stay close? Or am I just another face That you’ll never know? I’m still hoping Somewhere in all this dust You’ll tell me I don’t have to be a hero… If I was enough. ⸻ Verse 2 I keep collecting little victories Like they’re pennies in an empty jar Trying to believe they’re worth something Even if they don’t get me far I’ve learned the loudest people Aren’t always the strongest ones Sometimes courage sounds like whispering “I’ll keep going” to no one ⸻ Bridge Maybe love was never earned Maybe grace was always free Maybe all the things I hate inside Aren’t what everybody sees Maybe I’ve been chasing mirrors Trying to outrun the past When the only thing I’ve needed Has been here all along… ⸻ Final Chorus If I was enough Would I finally believe it? Would I stop running Every time I start to feel it? Maybe I don’t need To save the world tonight Maybe just showing up Is already worth the fight I’m still hoping Even when it’s tough Maybe I don’t have to be somebody else… Maybe… I already am enough.
