Lyrics
He is a wide-eyed wonder wondering why
He is a death defying game player of the mind
He is a ticking time bomb ready to blow
Oh, and you can?t help but wonder, why is it so?
WHEN ENOUGH IS NEVER ENOUGH
AND YOU TRY SO HARD NOT TO LET IT SHOW
WHEN ENOUGH IS FINALLY ENOUGH
EVENTUALLY, WE ALL DEAL WITH OUR STUFF
WHEN ENOUGH IS FINALLY ENOUGH
We share the same time zone, but different worlds
He uses words so sharp, they cut like a sword
He thought he had it all, but it had him
Oh, and you can?t help but hope, though the chances are slim
CHORUS
And you try so hard to leave it
Try so hard to leave it
Try so hard to leave it behind
And you try so hard to leave it
Try so hard to leave it
Try so hard to leave it behind
CHORUS
