Not Enough

I've been getting really into rockabilly music lately and I wrote this really catchy guitar hook that's something of a mix between surf music, pop and rockabilly, but I needed a set of lyrics to go with it, so here they are!

Oh darling, I've got the blues
It seems you might have heard the news
My heart's broken, spirit bruised
And it's not enough

Oh, hang me out to dry
Take my hand doll, don't be shy
We'll sing under blue skies
I hope you like it rough

I've got a bleeding heart
That's perched right on my sleeve
And I've been seein' all those faces
All those mouths that scream
And I've climbed up mountains
To look down on the sun
I've sank deep enough to know
That you're the one
And I've been to Vegas, saw all the cheap tricks
Baby, it can't broken if there ain't nothin' to fix (nothin' to fix)
But it's still not enough

Oh, let the axeman come
We'll still have our fun
Baby, my love's like a loaded gun
And it's not enough

Oh, let the discord grow
Just sit back, enjoy the show
It's you that my heart knows
'Cause you're the one I love

I've got a bleeding heart
That's perched right on my sleeve
And I've been seein' all those eyes
With the tears that stream
And I've swam through the ocean
In a sea full of sighs
And I've been all around
But it's best in-between your thighs
And I've been conning magicians using those same ol' tricks
Baby you can't break me 'cause I just won't be fixed (won't be fixed)
And it's not enough

Oh, let the nooses be tied
'Cause to you I've never lied
But it seems that my hands are tied
'Cause it's not enough

Oh, you taste like cherry dreams
And nothing's what it seems
Who knows what tomorrow brings
But it's not enough

I've got a bleeding heart
That's perched right on my sleeve
And I've been hearin' all those lies
Drillin' through my teeth
Oh, I've been to where the sun won't shine
And the faintest blur of love will surely die
I'm calling out to you, baby
I'm just awfully shy
And I'm just an old dog with the same ol' tricks
You'll be the Eris to my Icarus (nothin' to fix)
And it won't be enough

Enough of your love
No, not enough
Enough of your love
No, no, not enough

Jack! You know what mingles in here for me, its the lie, and ol tricks. The most hurtful thing is when the lie is the truth, and its so hard to hear. :D ---mishel
