What am I doing wrong?
What am I saying wrong?
How do I fail so hard at the one thing I want to accomplish the most
I feel surplus yet inadequate at the same time
I've never felt enough for you
I've never been enough for you
You say I make you happy but you're always sad
It leads me to believe you're just trying to not hurt me
I wish I made you happy
I wish I understood you
But no matter what I do or how hard I try, I never get it
I'm sorry
I'm screaming it in my head and at the top of my lungs I'm sorry
I'm sorry I'm inadequate
I'm sorry I don't get you
I'm sorry I'm not good enough
I'm sorry I don't understand you like a girlfriend should
I'm sorry I can't make you happy like a girlfriend would
I'm sorry.
This is not because of today and this is not because of what you said.
Honestly I've never really felt I was enough
I've never really felt I was what you needed
What you wanted
Or who you deserved
