Enough (A Jazz Waltz)

You said yourself...that this wasn't easy.

You told yourself...that you had finally found a friend.

You tricked yourself...blinded your eye to the world that's surrounding you now...

So I bow...

In humble submission,

To your superstitions,

About words like friend and tomorrow.

In burning attrition,

I speak contradictions

That burden my soul... (No, No)

Enough is not...enough.

A kiss....is not...a game.

Enough will never be...

Enough....for...me.

I told myself...that perspective was in the eye.

I begged myself...to keep a simple heart.

I fooled myself...the day I lied and said that we could play this game wild...

So I cry...

In scarred supplication

To your distant nation,

About words like sometimes and compromise.

In aborted redemption,

For this damn temptation

To catch you in my lie...(No, no, no...)

Enough...is not...enough.

A kiss...is not...a game.

Enough...will never be.

Enough for you and me.

A friend...is not a friend.

When the heart is an enemy...

Enough is not a friend...

When I'm lacking every better part of me.

So I tried...and I lied....and I made of a liar out of me.

So I stay...and I bleed...because saying goodbye is too much for me...

Enough...is not...enough...

A kiss...is never a game...

Enough...will never be, never be...

Enough for...enough for...

I find...myself...ashamed.

That I put my wax heart before the sun.

Yet it won't run away....

But it burns...

But it burns....me.

But it burns through me...

Burns through me...it's not enough...

It's not enough...it burns me.
