Never Enough

You've got your checklist, I've seen it all before
A list of what it takes to "open up the door."
Change my name, my face, my body too
But I can tell there's nothing I could do for you
You say, "One more thing, and maybe you'll fit,"
But deep down I know you'll never quit
No matter what I do, it'll never be enough
Your acceptance is just a bluff

You say, "Just one more change," but you know it's a lie
You're waiting for the moment when I break and cry
No matter how I bend, how much I try
Your love's just a target that's moving in the sky

You say, "Just one more change," but you know it's a lie
You're waiting for the moment when I break and cry
No matter how I bend, how much I try
Your love's just a target that's moving in the sky

You say it's about the rules, but it's never been fair
No surgery will make you care
I could change every part of me you see
But the finish line's wherever you want it to be
It's never enough, and you know it's true
You set the game so I'll always lose

You dress it up like safety, like you're guarding the way
But all I hear is fear in everything you say
You talk about the "right" body, the "right" face
But every time I get closer, you erase the trace
You say it's simple, but your lines are blurred
Hiding your hate behind a single word
I could change it all, but it wouldn't change your mind
You've already drawn the line

You say, "Just one more thing," but it's never true
You're scared of seeing me as real as you
No matter how I change, how much I grow
The person you fear is the one you'll never know

You say, "Just one more change," but you know it's a lie
You're waiting for the moment when I break and cry
No matter how I bend, how much I try
Your love's just a target that's moving in the sky

You say it's about the rules, but it's never been fair
No surgery will make you care
I could change every part of me you see
But the finish line's wherever you want it to be
It's never enough, and you know it's true
You set the game so I'll always lose

Oh, the rules you set were never about love
They were just a way to keep me below and above
You hide behind the mask of "right" and "wrong,"
But the person you fear is the one you'll never know

It's not about safety, it's not about me
It's about you needing to feel free
From the fear that someone might see
That the world is bigger than you want it to be

You say it's about the rules, but it's never been fair
No surgery will make you care
I could change every part of me you see
But the finish line's wherever you want it to be
It's never enough, and you know it's true
You set the game so I'll always lose

Never enough, never enough
I'll never be what you want me to be
You move the line so I'll always chase
But it's not me you'll erase
