A Love That’s Not Enough

What’s the point in holding on,
When the dream is already gone?
The road ahead is far too long,
And love can’t always make it strong.
I know deep inside I’ll never be,
The one you need or deserve from me.
There’s nothing here, no solid ground,
To build upon or stick around.

Please don’t let love blind your way,
Don’t throw your life for this dismay.
You’ve got a future shining bright,
Don’t waste it all on endless night.
I know that love is grand and true,
But what we have won’t carry through.
My life is nothing but a lie,
A shadow that will only die.
Let someone else who’s good and kind,
Give you the love I can’t provide.

If you knew what lies ahead,
Would you still hold on, or would you tread?
Far from here, a better life,
Free from all this endless strife.
My heart has failed, my hope is lost,
And loving me comes with a cost.
I’m weak, I’m torn, and falling fast,
No love like this was meant to last.

Please don’t let love blind your way,
Don’t throw your life for this dismay.
You’ve got a future shining bright,
Don’t waste it all on endless night.
I know that love is grand and true,
But what we have won’t carry through.
My life is nothing but a lie,
A shadow that will only die.
Let someone else who’s good and kind,
Give you the love I can’t provide.

If you stay, it’s you who’ll break,
There’s nothing here, no dreams to take.
You need a life that’s full of light,
Not this lonely, endless fight.
Turn around and walk away,
Don’t let this love lead you astray.

Please don’t let love blind your way,
Don’t throw your life for this dismay.
You’ve got a future shining bright,
Don’t waste it all on endless night.
I know that love is grand and true,
But what we have won’t carry through.
My life is nothing but a lie,
A shadow that will only die.
Let someone else who’s good and kind,
Give you the love I can’t provide.

In the end, love’s not enough,
No matter how strong, it’s just too tough.
So save yourself, and let me go,
For love alone won’t help you grow.
