Oh, to be loved enough to be understood To be loved enough to be seen To be loved enough to be honest To be loved enough to be me Maybe I was loved enough Maybe I was seen But all I know is that with you, I was every version of me. Just me, though No embellishments Maybe that's why we didn't happen Because I just wasn't worth the impediment But you said I was more than enough But you said so much Maybe if you hadn't explained I'd actually see myself as such Maybe I was always enough Because I was more than enough for you Maybe if you hadn't given us up Understanding would have hurt less too

EVERY VERSION OF ME
Oh, to be loved enough to be understood To be loved enough to be seen To be loved enough to be honest To be loved enough to be me Maybe I was loved enough Maybe I was seen But all I know is that with you, I was every version of me. Just me, though No embellishments Maybe that's why we didn't happen Because I just wasn't worth the impediment But you said I was more than enough But you said so much Maybe if you hadn't explained I'd actually see myself as such Maybe I was always enough Because I was more than enough for you Maybe if you hadn't given us up Understanding would have hurt less too
God help me
