If Love Is Not Enough - Peter Mulvey

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
