A song about never being enough for someone who places endless demands. It explores the futility of seeking love from someone who only offers conditional acceptance. The song captures the pain and futility of seeking approval from someone who sets impossible standards. It also hints at a turning point, choosing self-worth over the endless pursuit of validation.

Through Hoops and Holes

Verse 1:
I could paint the sky in shades of sorrow,
Sketch a world where dreams don’t borrow,
Terrible art, a shattered soul,
Still, it wouldn’t fill the empty hole.

I could build a castle made of stone,
Learn the lessons no one’s ever known,
Five degrees from every hallowed hall,
Still, I’d never be enough at all.

Chorus:
Jumping through hoops and holes,
Tied to love with unseen tolls.
The world could rise, the heavens call,
And still, I’d never be enough at all.

Verse 2:
A symphony of perfect notes I’d play,
Lead the world in all its grand ballet,
But the heart that judges from a throne,
Will never see me as their own.

I could weave the moonlight into gold,
Sing the stories time has never told,
Yet your gaze would pierce me through,
For nothing’s ever enough for you.

Bridge:
What’s the point of trying when the goal’s so far?
What’s the worth of giving when you break who you are?
You tie love to a contract, bound by demand,
But love’s not something built by hand.

Chorus:
Jumping through hoops and holes,
Tied to love with unseen tolls.
The world could rise, the heavens call,
And still, I’d never be enough at all.

Outro:

So take your hoops, your holes, your throne.
I’ll leave this game, reclaim my own.
No more chains, no endless chase.
I’ll find my worth in my own space.

Let your judgment fade like shadows at dawn,
For I’ve found strength to carry on.
In the ashes of your impossible call,
I’ll rise, for I am enough, after all.
