I Was Never Enough (Helluva Boss Octavia Original Song)

You said you'd stay, you'd never go
But promises break when the cold winds blow
I clutched to every word you swore
Only to find you'd locked another door

I watched you chase your foolish dreams
While I faded behind the scenes
A memory, a name you used to sing
Now I'm just another broken thing

I see the truth in your happy pills
In every silence, in every chill

I was never enough, was I?
Not the stars, not the tears in my eyes
You needed more than a daughter’s hand
You needed escape, a different man
You said I was the only good thing in your life
Then why was I never enough to make you stay and fight?

You held me once, but your hands were cold
You smiled, but your eyes looked old
Looking past me to another dream
Another reason to let me bleed

I begged for a family, begged for a sign
But all you gave was another lie
Another choice where I lost again
Another wound I can't defend

You say I'm wrong, that I don’t understand
But your heart was never in my hands

I was never enough, was I?
Not the stars, not the tears in my eyes
You needed more than a daughter’s hand
You needed escape, a different man
You said I was the only good thing in your life
Then why was I never enough to make you stay and fight?

Was I just an obligation you couldn't refuse?
A chain you bore, a crown you could lose?
When you found your wings in someone new
You left me grounded, broke me too

I was never enough, was I?
Not the laughter, not the lullabies
You needed more than a daughter's hand
You needed escape, a different man
You said I was the only good thing in your life
But in the end
I wasn't enough to be your light
