Peter Mulvey - If Love Is Not Enough Lyrics
How many should haves, how many should have notsHow many I wish we hads lie between us?For two basically well intentioned people it seems to me Our failures just demean usIs it lack of self regard?It should not be this hardI want to know, I want to know, I want to knowIf love is not enough then what's enough? I am listeningIf love is not enough what keeps the moon bright,What keeps the ocean glistening?You think it's you, I think it's meIf love is not enough than what else can it be?When I get up to see the powers that beI know there's one question I'll bringHow can two people look at the same loveAnd see two completely different things?It hurts to say the heavy stuff, so we say it lightlyAnd I'm amazed at how often I catch us both smiling, if only slightlyBut it's maddening, it's saddening, and I want to knowIf love is not enough then what's enough? I am waitingIs there something I should know about the thin ice on which the survivors are skating?You think it's me, I think it's youIf love is not enough then what else can we do?So we go on, put on the brave face, but it makes me want to screamI quit, I give up, I will claw my way out of this bad, bad dreamI love you still, I love you still, I love you stillIf love is not enough then what's enough? can you hear me?I'm sick of the burns I've got on my body from all the perfectly good loves exploding near meWhat else can I say? what else can I say?If love is not enough then we will go on loving anyway
