To care,love and try enough

Verse 1:

How do you tell someone you care,them refusing to hear?

Having false hopes few, believing what you have is true.

Why act so callous with his heart cold with malice?

Pretending all is mutual then turn around and treat you s cruel.

Forge kinship with the girl just use her for the thrill.

Have deep conversation then leave her in isolation.

One year of reliance followed by a year of silence.

Pre-Chorus:

Is it a device to push her away?

Are you ashamed what others will say?

Heed my advice if you want her to stay.

Chorus:

Do I care (enough)?

Do I love (enough)?

Do I try (enough)?

Thats all i can offer.

Is it enough?

What is enough?

When will I be enough?

Verse 2:

He dallied round with her emotions,neglecting even simple notions.

Divulged secrets none had heard then took off not even a word.

Told others of his feelings, later denied her hearts peeling.

Why not just tell the girl, or give her the chance to heal?

Don't feel envy when she finds someone, when you only wanted fun.

Say you want her for yourself but leave her heart sitting a shelf.

Don't change your mind everytime and maybe her heart you will find.

Pre-Chorus:

You walked her home night after night.

Spoke to her of the beauty of the sky.

But you can't see that in her eyes.

Chorus:

Do I care (enough)?

Do I love (enough)?

Do I try (enough)?

Thats all i can offer.

Is it enough?

What is enough?

When will I be enough?

Bridge:

When you came back things were changed.

You ignored her over and over, now she's gone...but

She will never leave your heart.

She will never leave your head.

Pre-Chorus:

Her memory is embedded

in every piece of you along with regret.

All of this because...

Chorus:

She cared (too much).

She loved (too much).

She tried (too much).

I guess it wasn't enough.

What was enough?

Would she have ever been enough?

She had enough.
