Enough Love
Unrequited Echoes: Searching for Deeper Love in 'Enough Love' by Kim Stockwood
Lyrics
How many other ways to make you stay
Expressing a desire to find different ways to make the partner stay.
You know there'll never come a day
Acknowledging that there will never be a day when the singer loves more intensely.
When I will love you more than this, no sweeter kiss
Describing a deep, sweet love with an emphasis on a memorable kiss.
Has ever left these lips
Highlighting the impact of a particularly special kiss on the lips.
But that's not enough love, no there's not enough love
Expressing doubt about the sufficiency of love, questioning if it's enough.
Have I got enough love, for you
Pondering whether the singer possesses sufficient love for the partner.
I still remember when, I'd hold your hand
Recalling a time when the singer would provide support and friendship by holding hands.
And I would be your friend
Reflecting on a period when the singer was a reliable friend.
And I would wipe away your tears, soothe all your fears
Describing the singer's past role in comforting and supporting the partner.
And I'd ask for nothing in return
Stating that the singer expected nothing in return for the support provided.
But that's not enough love, have I not enough love
Reiterating the inadequacy of love, questioning if it's insufficient.
No there's I got enough love, for you
Pondering whether the singer has enough love for the partner.
For you I'd walk on water
Expressing a willingness to go to great lengths for the partner, using metaphorical language.
For you I'd calm the seas
Continuing the metaphor, expressing a commitment to bring calmness to the partner's life.
You took all that I had to give
Noting that the partner has taken all the love the singer had to offer.
And there was nothing
Emphasizing that nothing remains for the singer.
Nothing left for me
Conveying a sense of emptiness or depletion in the singer's life.
Now, I've finally come to see what you wanted me to be
Realizing what the partner wanted the singer to become and feeling sadness about it.
It just makes me sad
Expressing sadness about the realization of the desired change.
'Cause how can I be what you want me to be
Questioning the possibility of becoming what the partner wants when the singer values themselves.
When I like me?
Asserting self-liking and individuality, indicating resistance to changing for the partner.
You know I really like me
Reaffirming the singer's positive self-perception and self-esteem.
And that's enough love
Claiming that the singer's self-love is sufficient, contrary to the partner's expectations.
'Cause I have enough love
Affirming that the singer has enough love for themselves.
Oh I've found enough love, for me
Declaring that the singer has found sufficient love for themselves.
