You were beautiful in the rain
Glorious in the sun
I never knew any better
I’ll never be your one
I wrote you poems
You sang me songs
We said forever
And we were wrong
I gave you my best
You gave me your best
I wanted the best
You promised the best
You taught me in summer
How to endure winter’s coldest nights
You saw me in summer
You held me close into the lights
When we were young and brave and didn’t
know just what else we should have said
our bleeding hearts
the rush of a love
we came together
when I was leaving
But we
But we always knew this wouldn’t be enough
You know I tried
I tried to believe we were enough
I died inside
I would have killed for this so much
We meant the best but
But we always knew this wouldn’t be enough
You were perfect for me
Perfect for then
Perfect for a time I could not keep
Promises perfect
Promise me perfect
Our dirt sugarcoated
But we
We always knew this wouldn’t be enough
You know I tried
I tried to believe we were enough
I died inside
I would have killed for this so much
I’ll take your blame
I always knew this wouldn’t be enough
