I was in love with someone who needed more from me, pieces that I was missing. I'll never be that person he needs me to be, so I realized it was time to write the song and move on. And I did.

Lyrics
This will be the first and only one time that I?ll ever come this way
?Cause I?m sure about the outcome and I?m not gonna get my way
Your mind?s made up and decided and you won?t have a change of heart
When you hear about my love for you, how I?m absolutely torn apart
You say you?ve got your reasons why I?ll never fit the shoes
Of the someone who can get to the heart of you
I?m just missing pieces that I know that you need
These things you can?t do without are keeping you from loving me
I?m just missing pieces that I never had at all
With all that I?m missing for you I just feel so small
Couldn?t you use your imagination that I?m the woman of your dreams?
But we?re prisoners of reality and I?m just who I?ve always been
Even if I could revise myself and change according to your plan
You?d say there?d still be something missing ?cause you know who I truly am
I wish I could convince my heart that we?re not meant to be
But the love I feel for you won?t set her free
Maybe I?m inadequate
Maybe I couldn?t handle it
Maybe I?m a part of you you?re not ready to give into
Maybe I?m never enough
Maybe I?m just way too much
I think that I?ve said everything and I?ll be on my way
To find someone who?ll love all of me someday.
