Is It Enough?
There’s a lot to live up to, the bar has been raised
I can’t help but stare and get lost in a daze
And while I’m off in the gaze, I find myself so afraid
What if I can’t reach it? Is it too far away?
Can the bar be attained? Can I simply deliver?
There’s just too many questions that crawl in the shiver
Everything that I give her: Is it simply enough?
I was born as a quitter, but I’d hate to give up
Lose the race and slip up and fall far away
From the place that I’m at with this soul’s heart today
This heart won’t give way and give in to the fear
But it’s hard to live up to the years after year
Cause the past is still near and I wish it was further
The thoughts of the haze and the people that hurt her
The anger has fervor that blends with despair
And a few lonely thoughts that it’s all so unfair
But I can’t sit and stare, even though I still do
I just need a few walls so it all won’t spill through
I need to crawl through and see what I have with her
And pray it’s enough, all the love and the laughs with her
And so when I shiver or doubt my ability
To make her just smile, the doubts that are killing me
She’ll be the sole will in me to make me get over
And love her much more as we grow a bit older
