Never Enough
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why is it never enough
No matter what I do?
I give it all that I've got
And it's always too few
And now you're asking for more
Why do I hesitate?
'Cause I know in the end
That it's always too late
And not enough for you
I've often heard you say
You've got to seize the day
That when your life is gone
Oh, how it's gone for so long
But there are often times
When life is not so kind
And there are those around
Who need your feet on the ground
And it's not enough
It's never enough
I don't stand a chance
To fill your sweet lovin' cup
'Cause it's not enough
It's never enough
It's not enough for you
Oh, I long for all those years
Wasted alone with these endless tears
And it's not enough
It's never enough
I don't stand a chance
To fill your sweet lovin' cup
'Cause it's not enough
It's never enough
It's not enough for you
It's not enough
It's never enough
I don't stand a chance
To fill your sweet lovin' cup
'Cause it's not enough
It's never enough
It's not enough for you
For you
