You Wanted More Than I Could Be

I tried to change the way I breathe

Just to fit what you'd need from me

Every silence felt like blame

I was losing myself in your expectations

I gave you all I had inside

But it was never quite right

You wanted more than I could be

More than my heart, more than me

I broke myself to make you stay

But I was never enough anyway

You wanted more than I could be

And I lost myself trying to please

I wore your doubts like they were mine

Crossed every line just to survive

I kept pretending I was strong

But I knew all along something was wrong

I stayed too long, ignored the truth

I was disappearing for you

You wanted more than I could be

More than my heart, more than me

I broke myself to make you stay

But I was never enough anyway

You wanted more than I could be

And I lost myself trying to please

Maybe love shouldn't feel like war

Or prove who hurts the most

I shouldn't have to lose my soul

Just to be someone you chose

You wanted more than I could be

I see it now, I finally see

I gave you everything I had

And still you wanted more than that

You wanted more than I could be

Now I'm learning how to be me
