Everything but Not Enough

Everything But Not Enough

Losing grip of the innocent child
Letting loose to the crazy outside and you
Feel a distance growing over time
As dark as it might seem
You are enlightening
They try to teach you right from wrong
Stubborn girl but you’ll never admit you’re wrong
When the world has swallowed you up
As hard as it might seem

Hold your arms out
Ready for the fall now
Brace yourself for something
Unbeknown to you
One day you’ll know

You gave it everything
But can you stand alone now?
You say you’ve got to live
And so they let you go
But when it’s cold
And when it’s dark
When you know
You’ve gone too far
You gave it everything but not enough
What have you become?

You deny that you find it hard
Waking up to a life you dreamed of but
Truth be told, you’re hating the part
As blind as they might be
I see what you see
Now falling from your greatest high
Bet you’ll never wanna climb this again
Breaking down, is your life flashing by?
As tough as it might seem

Hold your hands up
You’re not getting stronger
Now that you are crashing
Down into what you’ve done
Now you’ll know

You gave it everything
But can you stand alone now?
You say you’ve got to live
And so they let you go
But when it’s cold
And when it’s dark
When you know
You’ve gone too far
You gave it everything but not enough
What have you become?
