Knew a boy once, when I was small
A tow-head blond, with eyes of salt
He played the drum in the marching band

His parents cared more about the Bible
Than being good to their own child
He wore long sleeves 'cause of his dad

And I knew how you took your coffee
And your favorite songs by heart
I read all of your self-help books
So you'd think that I was smart

Stupid, emotional, obsessive little me
I knew from the start this is exactly how you'd leave

And somehow, we fell out of touch
Hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush
Don't know if I'll see you again someday
But if you're out there, I hope that you're okay

And maybe I'm just not as interesting
As the girls you had before
But God, you couldn't have cared less
About someone who loved you more

She couldn't wait to go to college
She was tired 'cause she was brought
Into a world where family was merely blood

Found someone more exciting
The next second, you were gone
And you left me there crying
Wondering what I did wrong

And you always say I'm never satisfied
But I don't think that's true
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough

Address the letters to the holes in my butterfly wings
Nothing's forever, nothing is as good as it seems

But don't tell me you're sorry, boy
Feel sorry for yourself
'Cause someday I'll be everything to somebody else

Well, I hope you know how proud I am you were created
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
God, I hope that you're happier today
'Cause I love you, and I hope that you're okay

'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough
But I don't think anything could ever be enough for you
Enough for you
No, nothing's enough for you
