Peter Mulvey - If Love Is Not Enough lyrics

How many should haves, how many should have nots How many I wish we hads lie between us? For two basically well intentioned people it seems to me Our failures just demean us Is it lack of self regard? It should not be this hard I want to know, I want to know, I want to know If love is not enough then what's enough? I am listening If love is not enough what keeps the moon bright, What keeps the ocean glistening? You think it's you, I think it's me If love is not enough than what else can it be? When I get up to see the powers that be I know there's one question I'll bring How can two people look at the same love And see two completely different things? It hurts to say the heavy stuff, so we say it lightly And I'm amazed at how often I catch us both smiling, if only slightly But it's maddening, it's saddening, and I want to know If love is not enough then what's enough? I am waiting Is there something I should know about the thin ice on which the survivors are skating? You think it's me, I think it's you If 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 scream I quit, I give up, I will claw my way out of this bad, bad dream I love you still, I love you still, I love you still If 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 me What else can I say? what else can I say? If love is not enough then we will go on loving anyway
