Love Is Not Enough
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I've had too many a
Good cry for you
Well, this is my time to say
Goodbye to you

In my heart of hearts
I know there's more love left for you
But love is not enough, I've learned
To see the journey through

This is not yours alone
It hurts me too
Please don't say you don't care
I know you do

In my heart of hearts
I know there's more love left for you
But love is not enough, I've learned
To see the journey through

Love is not enough for me
If it screams when you hold it
Love is not enough for me
Love is hurting if it screams
Oh, if it's screaming out loud
I've been screaming for love, oh oh
Love is not enough

In my heart of hearts
I know there's more love left for you




But love is not enough, I've learned
To see the journey through

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Above & Beyond's song Love Is Not Enough reflect the painful journey of moving on from a relationship that is no longer working. The singer has had many tears for their partner, but now it's time to say goodbye. Even though there is still love left in their heart for this person, they have come to the realization that love is not enough to sustain a relationship. They have learned that sometimes, in order to move forward, you have to see the journey through, even if that means letting go of the one you love.


The lyrics also reveal the singer's vulnerability and the depth of their hurt, as they plead with their partner not to say they don't care because they know that they do, and their pain is not theirs alone. The refrain "love is not enough" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing that even though love is a powerful emotion, it cannot fix everything in a relationship. If it's hurting or screaming out loud, love is not enough.


Overall, the song reflects the bittersweet experience of coming to terms with the end of a relationship, and the painful realization that love alone may not be enough to make it work.

I've had too many, a good cry for you
Well, this is my time to say goodbye to you

In my heart of hearts
I know there's more love left for you
But love is not enough of light to see the journey through

This is not yours alone, it hurts me too
Please don't say you don't care, I know you do

In my heart of hearts
I know there's more love left for you
Love is not enough of light to see the journey through

Love is not enough for me, if it screams when you hold it
Love is not enough for me, love is hurting if it screams
Oh, if it's screaming out loud, I've been screaming for love

Love is not enough

In my heart of hearts
I know there's more love left for you
Love is not enough of light to see the journey through

One day you will fly away from here
One day you'll leave your hurts behind

experiencing this right now. being with someone and loving them with all your heart but still feeling emptiness. it's a desperate depressing can't breath sad feeling.
