What I Know Is Not Enough
Oh on that overcast first day I'd closed and I'd locked my door Oh my breath was thick like a fog And it downpoured as I hid out in New York The evenings merged together Went on forever like a prayer Echoed endlessly in my head And the words unsaid They manifested quickly, swiftly Into shapes at the end of my bed And they say What I know is not enough But I've taken all I can I told you not to break my heart You promised everything I'll show my worn décolletage And tired calves that tense This time I know I have to change I hope, oh I hope that I'll be more than this I hope, oh I hope that I'll know more than this And on that simmering fifth day Yeah it was cold but my skin was on fire And I threw myself out on the porch in the rain Letras de cancionesWith my nerves twitching like a live wire And I heaved like I was bailing hay Like I was moving great stones But there I stood alone and drenched On an Autumn morn, in the cold What I know is not enough But I've taken all I can I told you not to break my heart You promised everything I'll show my worn décolletage And tired calves that tense This time I know I have to change I hope, oh I hope that I'll be more than this I hope, oh I hope that I'll know more than this Did you ever truly love? Did you ever truly trust? If you care like everyone Why'd your words amount to dust? I am not a woman who will teach you I have a got a beating heart inside me Blood that flows and eyes that stare so wide At those who don't collapse into the tide of Feelings that encompass all your body Tell me how I'll ever learn to trust, though You are not my lover or my friend You've taught me what it's like to be in love I am not a woman who will teach you I have a got a beating heart inside me Blood that flows and eyes that stare so wide At those who don't collapse into the tide of Feelings that encompass all your body Tell me how I'll ever learn to trust, though You are not my lover or my friend You've taught me what it's like to be in love What I know is not enough But I've taken all I can I told you not to break my heart You promised everything I'll show my worn décolletage And tired calves that tense This time I know I have to change I hope oh I hope But What I know is not enough I've taken all I can I told you not to break my heart And you promised everything I'll show my worn décolletage And tired calves that tense This time I know I have to change I hope, oh I hope that I'll be more than this I hope, oh I hope that I'll know more than this From Letras Mania
