Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’ve been walking around with my hands in my sleeves,
Pretending the cold don’t sting as much as it really does.
My friends say I’m fine, but I’m living between
Who I am and who I swear I could become.
You’re a gentle kind of chaos I can’t name
A sunrise breaking through my concrete chest.
I rehearse every word I’m scared to say,
But courage always comes up short of breath.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I swear I’m trying, even if the mirror disagrees.
I’m a quiet storm of almosts, drowning silently.
[Chorus]
’Cause I don’t think I’m good enough for me,
But maybe I could be good enough for you.
You make me want to fix the parts I hide,
Undo the knots in a heart I never knew.
But every time our eyes meet, I break in two
I’m terrified of what loving me might do.
So I stay quiet, hoping somehow you’ll see
I’m not good enough for me…
But I could be good enough for you.
[Verse 2]
You laugh like you’ve never lost anything,
And I envy how you still trust sunlight to come back.
Me? I’m stitched-up doubts in borrowed skin,
A puzzle missing pieces I’ve never learned to track.
I replay the moments where I almost spoke
Tongue tied in the ruins of my own design.
It’s easier pretending we’re just a joke
Than risking the truth you might never want mine.
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep building better versions of myself in my head,
But none of them survive outside the things I never said.
[Chorus]
’Cause I don’t think I’m good enough for me,
But maybe I could be good enough for you.
You make me want to rewrite my history,
Erase every “almost” I keep clinging to.
But every time I’m near you, fear comes unglued
A warning sign painted in shades of blue.
So I stay quiet, hoping somehow you’ll see
I’m not good enough for me…
But I could be good enough for you.
[Bridge]
If love is a language, I’m still learning the alphabet.
Every letter feels like a bruise on my breath.
You deserve someone fearless
Someone who runs toward the light.
But all I do is hesitate,
Choking on the chance to try.
[Final Chorus]
I don’t think I’m good enough for me,
But maybe I could be good enough for you.
If I ever find the strength to speak,
Every truth in me leads back to you.
And maybe you’d take my trembling heart too
Or maybe you’d walk, like I already assume.
So I keep quiet… just hoping you’ll see
I’m not good enough for me…
But I could be good enough for you.
