Lyrics
[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
For you to go and take this
And smash it apart
I've gone all this fucking way
To wind up back at
Back at the start
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
And love is not enough
[Verse 4]
Well it hides in the dark
Like the withering vein
We didn't give it a mouth
So it cannot complain
It never really had a chance
We'd never really make it through
And I never think I believed
[Verse 5]
I believed I could get better with you
[Verse 6]
Hey, the closer we think we are
Well it never got us so far
Now you got anything left to show?
...no, I didn't think so
Hey, the sooner we realize
We cover ourselves with lies
But underneath we're not so tough
[Verse 7]
And love is not enough
[Verse 8]
Love is not enough
