Not Enough

I met you on that app, swiped right, took a chance, Wanted new friends, a fresh start, maybe a new dance. FaceTimes every day, felt like you were close, But we said “just friends with benefits,” but I knew the most— I let my heart wander, even when I knew, That scared little voice in me whispered, “Don’t fall through.” You showed me more than I was ready to see, I held back parts of me, you showed yours so freely. [Pre-Chorus: Sung] I see the same look in your eyes, The same look I had inside, We tried to hold on tight, But sometimes love’s a f***t. [Chorus: Sung] We were friends then crush, then strangers again, I wish I could’ve stopped the pain. You calmed my fears when you looked my way, But I had to leave, it’s the price we pay. (Soft piano and synth pads join) [Verse 2: Rap/Spoken] You stuck your tongue out just to make me smile, I did it back, it felt so sweet for a while. You played your games but still picked up my call, Held me silent when I said I needed to fall. I remember when I was hot like i was going pass out. you worried, Cared like no one else, your love never hurried. But my past held me back, trust was thin, Attachment’s a cage I couldn’t break in. [Pre-Chorus: Sung] I see the same look in your eyes, The same look I had inside, We tried to hold on tight, But sometimes love’s a f***t. [Chorus: Sung] We were friends then crush, then strangers again, I wish I could’ve stopped the pain. You calmed my fears when you looked my way, But I had to leave, it’s the price we pay. [Bridge: Soft Rap/Sung mix] We’re just kids lost in the noise, Trying to find love, impress with our voice. Living up to standards we never set, Fighting fears, drowning in regret. I hope you don’t hate me, I hope you remember me sweetly. Our FaceTimes, those quiet nights, Moments when the world felt right. [Final Chorus: Sung, building] We were friends then crush, then strangers again, Maybe we weren’t meant to pretend. You calmed my fears when you looked my way, I’m sorry I had to walk away.
