If Love Is Not Enough Lyrics - Singles - 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
