[Verse 1]
Ashes to ashes
Passion and fantasy dreams all fall
We bid farewell to the fairy-tale of when we were young
See, no one ever told us that we need more
That we need more

See, I envisioned this, the perfect first of many
So green, I dreamed of happy ever after
Looking past the in-between times
But in the meantime
Thinking love was all the answers
Now I question everything I've ever known

[Chorus]
They say love is perfect
They say love is blind
They say love is worth it
But you gotta know sometimes
Love just ain't enough
Love just ain't enough
Love just ain't enough
Oh

[Verse 2]
Reaching for something
Searching for someone to change my mind
We were made fools by grade school stories and nursery rhymes
Lost in the days of lover's haze, an altered state of mind
Intoxicated by the love they say we find
But now I'm like

[Chorus]
They say love is perfect
They say love is blind
They say love is worth it
But you gotta know sometimes
Love just ain't enough
Love just ain't enough
Love just ain't enough
Oh, yeah

[Bridge]
'Cause waking up ain't easy
Reality is hard, yeah
And balancing my dreams and all I've seen
With the pain and scars and battling my breakin' heart
I wish I would have known, yeah

[Chorus]
They say love is perfect
They say love is blind
They say love is worth it
But you gotta know sometimes
Love just ain't enough
Love just ain't enough
Love just ain't enough
Love just ain't enough, oh
