Love Wasn’t Enough
I wanted to love you with a fierceness
Making your heart and soul long for me
You would yearn with desire from within
But the truth is simply I lacked the ability
The blame sits right here on my shoulders
In no way does any blame fall at all on you
You would’ve gave me the world if I had asked
I still couldn’t love you the way I wanted to
I’d dwell on something filling me with rage
I’d yell and scream to make you feel small
The fight lasted until the rage disappeared
You’d go in our room and quietly you’d bawl
You never deserved how I made you feel
Yet through it all you still would love me
You gave an incredible love I didn’t return
Imagine if you could’ve set your love free
You gave a hundred percent to our marriage
And i couldn’t give half of what you give away
Your heart is so genuine you continued to love
Asking god each night for help as you pray
Finally you opened your eyes seeing the truth
I’m too broken to fix no matter what you try
It breaks your heart your love wasn’t enough
And again you go to our room so you can cry
