i grew up feeling so alone
'cause there's no one to turn to when you're living in a broken home
i grew up with no one at my shoulder
so it's hard learning how to love now that i'm getting older

i never saw what it was like to love
to care for someone so deeply you could never express it enough
i never felt that kind of love
where you'd do anything in the world for that special someone

i get it
i get why you'd want to leave
i know it
i know you could never be
happy
living in a broken family

i don't blame you for leaving
but that doesn't make it hurt any less
i'm just sick of believing
that it was ever for the best
'cause looks can be deceiving
i just wish that i could've been enough, enough so you never even left

i'm growing up and i'm moving on
it would've been easier to handle if you were never gone
but i'm getting good at giving up
because now i know that what i want rarely ever comes

i feel it
i feel that energy
i hear it
i hear that you're finally
happy
living without a broken family
living without me

i don't blame you for leaving
but that doesn't make it hurt any less
i'm just sick of believing
that it was ever for the best
'cause looks can be deceiving
i just wish that i could've been enough, enough so you never even left

i don't blame you for leaving
but it hurts just as much
it's been years but i'm still healing
and these days we barely keep in touch
you made me numb but i'm still feeling
worthless, because i'll never be enough

i can tell
but it's just hard
to wish you well
when you left me scarred
i'm sorry that
i couldn't give you
the love that you wanted
but i'm glad that you found
someone new
who gives you what
we never could
