If I blocked the sun I couldn't get your time of day
I have always fallen short of your heights
And in the moments that I gathered your attention
My shadow always flailed against your blinding light
So, if you thanked god for his gracious gift
Why do I fall so far from perfect?
My love for you was perennial
Why is your joy in me so ephemeral?
Trying so hard to establish connection
But everything i turn from gold to dust
Even though I see you every morning
Doesn't mean that I'll ever be enough
I will never be enough
Sleeping, dreaming, I wish you'd believe in
Something, a fiber in my body
A truth imprinted, ingrained like tangled ivy
Something that makes me worth your time
