Love Is Not Enough

nine inch nails - love is not enough





the more that we take

the paler we get

i can’t remember what it is

we try to forget

the tile on the floor

so cold it could sting

in your eyes is a place

worth remembering



for you to go and take this

and smash it apart

i’ve gone all this fucking way

to wind up back at…back at the start



hey!

the closer we think we are

well, it only got us so far

now you’ve got anything left to show?

no, no i didn’t think so.

hey!

the sooner we realize

we cover ourselves with lies

but underneath we’re not so tough

and love is not enough



well, it hides in the dark

like the withering vein

we didn’t give it a mouth

so it cannot complain

we never really had a chance

we never really make it through

i never think i’d believe

i believed i could get better with you



hey!

the closer we think we are

well, it never got us so far

now you’ve got anything left to show?

no, no i didn’t think so.

hey!

the sooner we realize

we cover ourselves with lies

but underneath we’re not so tough

and love is not enough
