When Love Is Not Enough

from Life After Death (LP) by Bee Appleseed

lyrics

Oh love is not enough I have found
Yeah love is not enough I have found
And my hopes were raised so high, they were bound to come down
And it’s hard to be the one to bury your old beliefs underground

Oh but it’s true that everyone you knew who told you I was wrong for you was right
It’s a fact I despise
And then I chose the easy route, to step off the stage after one last bow saying, “thank you goodnight!”
And I’ll regret it all my life

And they say hindsight is 20/20 and it’s all coming back to me
The nostalgic memories and the promises we thought we could keep
Oh so thank you for your love, for the time you invested in me
And I wish it were enough then for now that’s all that I need

And another to take your place surely one day will come
But my heart will no the difference for it’s not quite so young (anymore)
And you I held so high and with such regard
Yeah I was a lost shepherd coming home and you were my north star
Oh but I know it never seemed that way, I never acted according to what I’d say but instead
I’d play the victim
And I’m surprised you stayed with me so long as I denied that anything was wrong and you died
Slowly from inside

And they say hindsight is 20/20 and it’s all coming back to me
The nostalgic memories and the promises we thought we could keep
Oh so thank you for your love, for the time you invested in me
And I wish it were enough then for now that’s all that I need
