Love Was Not Enough

There's a growing disconnect of what we feel and say
And over time it keeps on tearing at the seams of our sanity
We grew cold to one another
The love we were willing to give was not enough

Now the end has shown its face at last

Words being thrown in trembling ignorance
Minds being plagued by ever growing doubts
Through pettiness and fear, we lost the grace
Our hearts enticed by promise of relief

Cause we all cast haunting shadows
When the light burns brighter than us
But the scars run deeper
Than our hands can reach

Time may heal the broken bones
But sometimes not the broken trust
We bent and broke and in the end
Love was not enough

We fought and bent
Until we broke
But in the end
Love was not enough

Now the end has shown its face at last
Love was not enough

Oh it's such a pity
To see us rather bend and break
Rather spite and manipulate
Than reflect and comprehend
Than nurture and appreciate
The love
That we had from the start
