Enough

tears spill out like silent cries from my heart
bursting in anguish like a firing squad
if they want me to give more I've already given all Ive got
but it's never enough for them
so I break all the limits and cross every line trying to buy some time
am I enough for you?

Might as well give me the death sentence
'cause my existence has become a prison
and without you I am nothing, not even worth
the fighting in my mind
between the voices and who I am inside
I need you to save me, take me far away
but if you are no longer listening
I understand my story just might bore you
though I'd never ignore you
I'm looking for a reason to believe I still mean something to you
I just want to be okay, but the past is set on replay and I've had enough
maybe you'll find my heart in the dust
if I'm enough...

fear seeps out from holes in my alibi
stinging like needles in my broken heart
if they ask me to compromise I've got nothing left to lose
but my life still isn't enough
so I defy the rules and forsake reason hoping for a hero
am I enough for you?

Might as well give me the death sentence
'cause my existence has become a prison
and without you I am nothing, not even worth
the fighting in my mind
between the voices and who I am inside
I need you to save me, take me far away
but if you are no longer listening
I understand my story just might bore you
though I'd never ignore you
I'm looking for a reason to believe I still mean something to you
I just want to be okay, but the past is set on replay and I've had enough
maybe you'll find my heart in the dust
if I'm enough...
