Never Enough
In the Shadows of Insufficiency: The Crown Syndicate's Cry of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
There's no easy way
Expressing that there's no simple or straightforward solution.
Things I need to say
Acknowledging the necessity of communicating certain things.
All the reasons why
Alluding to the various explanations for a significant change in their lives.
Our lives will change today
Highlighting the imminent transformation in their lives.
You never talk to me
Pointing out a lack of communication in the relationship.
Only run away
Noticing a pattern of avoidance or escapism.
Don't come home for days
Describing a prolonged absence from home.
Am I supposed to be ok
Questioning whether it's acceptable to be okay with the situation.
Tears me apart
Expressing emotional pain and internal conflict.
That I'm not enough for you
Feeling inadequate or insufficient for the partner.
You can't stop chasing
Highlighting a persistent pursuit despite challenges.
The bitter taste
Describing the lingering unpleasant experiences.
It pushes down the pain
Using something bitter to numb the emotional pain.
But don't wash it away
Advising against completely erasing the painful experiences.
I can't stop failing
Expressing a continuous struggle and inability to succeed.
Give you what you need
Promising to provide what is needed but admitting personal limitations.
Don't have it in me
Admitting the lack of capability to meet certain expectations.
You just want to see me bleed
Sensing a desire to witness personal suffering.
Tears me apart
Reiterating the emotional pain of inadequacy.
That I'm not enough for you
Repeating the feeling of not being enough for the partner.
If love is a spark
Exploring the idea that if love is a source of light, they are in darkness.
I'm living in the dark
Acknowledging a perpetual sense of being in emotional obscurity.
I'll never be enough for you
Accepting the impossibility of meeting the partner's expectations.
Why can't we go back
Expressing a desire to return to a previous state or relationship phase.
Start again
Suggesting a wish to start anew, perhaps erasing recent events.
Step back in time
Reflecting on a desire to go back in time.
I can be what you need
Promising to be what the partner needs if given another chance.
Then you'll choose me
Expecting the partner to choose them over other options.
Have to walk away
Recognizing the necessity to detach despite lingering desires.
While I still crave
Expressing a longing for the partner's touch before ending the relationship.
Your touch before it grows
Suggesting the need to let go before emotional attachment deepens.
Into a part of me
Anticipating that emotional involvement will become an integral part of them.
If I hold on too tight
Warning about the potential harm of holding onto the relationship too tightly.
It will crush the life
Describing the negative impact on one's life if the relationship is clung to excessively.
Right out of me
Expressing the risk of losing vitality if the relationship remains oppressive.
Oh why can't I just be
Pleading for the ability to be oneself in the relationship.
Tears me apart
Reiterating the emotional pain of feeling inadequate for the partner.
That I'm not enough for you
Repeating the sentiment of not being enough for the partner.
If love is a spark
Repeating the metaphor of living in emotional darkness due to love.
I'm living in the dark
Reiterating the perpetual sense of being in emotional obscurity.
I'll never be enough for you
Affirming the impossibility of meeting the partner's expectations.
