Lyrics

If I?m Not Enough
© 2005 Martha Ann Brooks BMI

We?re circling each other
Like dogs before a fight
Tension wraps around us
Nothing?s feeling right
Look me in the eye, Babe
Let the truth show
Do you wanna have to work at it
Do you wanna let it go

You are growlin and a prowlin
Like this house is a cage
Are you goin through a crisis
Is it just some sort of stage
I can?t help you to get past it
If the thought stays underground
I get the feelin Baby
You?re gonna let me down

Chorus:

If I?m not enough
Just say so
If you can?t hold on
Then let go
Don?t keep hangin around
When you really want to be long gone, long gone, long gone
If your love for me
Has died
Well darlin at least you tried
Make up your mind
So we can get on
With whatever is left of our lives

I don?t hold a thing against you
But you?re wearin mighty thin
You won?t say what the trouble is
So Trouble?s gonna win
I think you?re getting? weary
Of seeing me each day
Maybe you should take some time
And find the words to say

Chorus:

Bridge:
I hope you find out what?s wrong
If you don?t it might be me
Who says ?So Long?

Chorus:
