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 can 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

[Chorus]
Hey the closer we think we are
Well it only got us so far
Now you 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

It never really had a chance
We'd never really make it through
And to think I believed
I believed I could get better with you

[Chorus]

    This is the second stage of thoughts for a harsh break-up, the first being All the Love in the World. You feel betrayed, as the person you gave everything left you for a reason you cannot see or understand. You wanted to try and go further with them, but they were the first to recognize whatever went wrong and cut it off, and now you are left trudging. "Love is Not Enough" refers to the newfound belief that even if you are in love, its not enough to sustain a relationship. Its a loss of faith.
