Not Enough - J Mascis

She was gone again

And I’m not sure what I knew

But I looked again

And the truth gave me a clue

Said my love

Why was it not enough to keep

And it’s tough

And I can’t accept defeat

And I know in my mind, I know I should be grateful

But it’s hard for me, I’m done so easily

Can we be loved, can we be free

Can we be all these things you said to me

Can we be loved, can we explain

Can we be all these things and hold the pain

Can we be loved, can we be free

Can we go on, can we not see

Cause I know myself and I can’t take it easy

And it can’t be good if I’m the one who’s mean

And we were off again

And I just could not believe

It took so long again

I should’ve known, I should’ve seen

Said my love

That was the only way to be

Not enough

Then the future came to me

And I know in my mind, I’m outta time, it’s over

And I’ll leave him here, is there no way to show her?

Can we be loved, can we be free

Can we be all these things you said to me

Can we be loved, can we explain

Can we be all these things and hold the pain

Can we be loved, can we be free

Can we go on, can we not see

Said my love

That was the only way to be

Not enough

And I can’t believe it’s me

And I know my love, and I know my love is over

And I wish I did, I wish I didn’t know
