I Was Never Enough — Dark Emotional Metalcore (Bleeding Just to Stay)

I Was Never Enough — Dark Emotional Metalcore (Bleeding Just to Stay)

“I Was Never Enough” is a dark emotional metalcore track about trying to hold together a love that only survives if you keep shrinking to fit inside it.
The song dives into self-blame, emotional distance, and the toll of chasing validation from someone who treats you like an option instead of a choice. Built on tense atmospheres, heavy riffs, vulnerable cleans, and desperate screams, it feels like the moment you finally accept that their emptiness was never yours to fix.

If you connect with metalcore about toxic love, guilt, exhaustion, and the painful freedom of walking away, this track will hit hard.

🎵 LYRICS

I Was Never Enough

I gave you everything I had left in me,
still somehow it never filled the space.
I kept blaming myself for your distance,
like loving you wrong was my mistake.
I'M BLEEDING JUST TO STAY!

I memorized your moods like survival rules,
changed my shape every time you withdrew.
I learned how to apologize for breathing,
for needing reassurance you never gave.

I carried your silence like it was my fault,
every unanswered text felt like a verdict.
You called it "space," I called it panic,
and still I stayed, convincing myself this was love.

I keep asking what I did wrong,
but you never answer — you just watch me fall.
WHY AM I STILL TRYING?

I gave you everything I had left in me,
still somehow it never filled the space.
I kept blaming myself for your distance,
like loving you wrong was my mistake.
I'M BLEEDING JUST TO STAY!

You keep me close just to pull away,
say "you're overthinking" when I start to break.
You play with my doubt like it's harmless,
while I'm dismantling myself to keep you calm.

You don't hit me, you don't scream,
you just disappear and let the guilt eat me.
I chase clarity like it's oxygen,
and you watch me suffocate in confusion.

I keep thinking if I loved you better,
you wouldn't treat me like I'm optional.
I'M KILLING MYSELF TO BE ENOUGH!

I gave you everything I had left in me,
still somehow it never filled the space.
I kept blaming myself for your distance,
like loving you wrong was my mistake.
I'M BLEEDING JUST TO STAY!

I don't want to leave you…
I just don't recognize myself anymore.
I don't feel loved —
I feel tested.

I SHRANK MYSELF TO FIT YOUR MOOD!
I BROKE MY BACK JUST TO KEEP YOU CLOSE!
YOU CALL THIS "LOVE" — I CALL IT CONTROL!
AND I'M THE ONLY ONE PAYING THE TOLL!

ENOUGH!
ENOUGH!

I gave you everything I had left in me,
but I'm done pretending it's my fault.
I'm not broken — I'm exhausted,
from loving someone who never chose me at all.

If I'm never enough for you…
maybe that was never my failure.
