Love is not enough

 

Can’t be with him

But I love him

 

Doesn’t like how I look

But I love him

 

Doesn’t like how I play

But I love him

 

Doesn’t always show affection

But I still love him

 

How can that matter now

How can that matter at all

 

Can’t be with him

But I love him

 

Love is not enough

 

Doesn’t like how I look

But I love him

 

Love is not enough

 

Doesn’t like how I play

But I love him

 

Love is not enough

 

Doesn’t always show affection

But I still love him

 

Love is not enough

 

There are more important things

There are far more useful things

Far deeper feelings

 

Like faith

 

Do you believe in him?

I doubt it

 

Like trust

Do you have confidence in him?

 

I wonder

 

Can you count on him to do the right thing at the right time?

Would you put your life in his hands?

Would you put your children’s lives in his hands?

Would you write your fortunes in his names?

 

Love is not enough

You could love him to death, for all you know

 

Love is not enough

You could give him all he needs for all you know

And he still won’t feel a thing

 

But how about what he wants?

What about what he thinks is right?

Must you always know what’s best for him?

 

Love is not enough

 

There are more important things

There are far more useful things

Far deeper feelings

 

Like faith

Like Trust

Like pride

Companionship

Understanding

Respect

Fun and excitement

 

You can love him to death for all you know

And he still won’t feel a thing

 

Sometimes you just have to let go

Just let go

 

Love is not enough
