Never Enough
Emin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you give all that you got
It's never enough
When you give all that you got
It's never enough
I've been losing sleep
You got me falling deep
You've been riding free
Your love I'll never know
You're falling through my hands
Just like you're made of sand
And I don't understand
How you could hurt me so
When you give all that you got
It's never enough
When you give all that you got
It's never enough

When I said that I need you now
Well I need you more than ever
Don't think I can live without
Us being in this world together
When the walls came crumbling down
Thought you said you'd leave me
Never, never, never, never
Never, never, never, never
So you played the field
And I don't know what's real
You keep it all concealed
But I've been keeping score
And so the story goes
Another chapter closed
You had your final show I won't be back for more
When you give all that you got
It's never enough
When you give all that you got
It's never enough
(Chorus)
When I said that I need you now
Well I need you more than ever
Don't think I can live without

Us being in this world together
When the walls came crumbling down
Thought you said you'd leave me
Never, never, never, never
Never, never, never, never
When you give all that you got It's never enough
When you give all that you got It's never enough

I didn't want it I didn't need it
She took a chance to dance I didn't see it
She couldn't hide it
But she denied it
And now it's time to breath
Now it's time to breath

When I said that I need you now
Well I need you more than ever
Don't think I can live without
Us being in this world together
When the walls came crumbling down
Thought you said you'd leave me
Never, never, never, never
Never, never, never, never
When you give all that you got
It's never enough, it's never enough
When you give all that you got
It's never enough, it's never enough
When you give all that you got
It's never enough, it's never enough
When you give all that you got
It's never enough, it's never enough
When you give all that you got




It's never enough
When you give all that you got It's never enough
