[Verse 1]
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

[Bridge]
For you to go and take this
And smash it apart
I've gone all this fuckin' 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
[Verse 2]
Well, it hides in the dark
Like the witherin' vein
We didn't give it a mouth
So it cannot complain
It 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

[Chorus]
Hey, the closer we think we are
Well, it never got us so far
Now you got anything left to show?
No, no, no, no, I didn't think so
Hey, the sooner we realize (the sooner we realize)
We cover ourselves with lies
But underneath we're not so tough
Oh, and love is not enough

[Outro]
(Love is not enough)
(Love is not enough)
(Love is not enough)
Oh, love is not enough
Hey!
