Had Enough
LifeHouse＀ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Loneliness facing up and down these hallways
Second guessing every thought
Mystified, just spinning 'round in circles
Drowning in the silent screaming with nothing left to say

Every time I reach for you, there's no one there to hold on to
Nothing left for me to miss, I'm letting go, letting go of this
Lost my mind thinking it through, the light inside has left me too
Now I know what empty is, I've had enough, I've had enough of this.

I believe that love should be a reason
To give and get back in return (to give and get back in return)
I wanna breathe in a new beginning
With someone who will wrap her arms around what's left of me

Every time I reach for you, there's no one there to hold onto
Nothing left for me to miss, I'm letting go, letting go of this
Lost my mind thinking it through, the light inside has left me too
Now I know what empty is, I've had enough, I've had enough of this.

Inside I'm barely holding on
There's something that's already gone
Inside of me a world is in this all alone

Every time I reach for you, there's no one there to hold on to
Nothing left for me to miss, I'm letting go of this
Lost my mind thinking it through, the light inside has left me to
Now I know what empty is, I've had enough, I've had enough of this.
Every time I reach for you, there's no one there to hold on to
Nothing left for me to miss, I'm letting go, letting go of this




Lost my mind thinking it through, the light inside has left me to
Now I know what empty is, I've had enough, I've had enough of this.

Questioning every decision and thought


Mystified, just spinning 'round in circles
Feeling confused, stuck in a cycle of uncertainty


Drowning in the silent screaming with nothing left to say
Feeling overwhelmed by inner turmoil and unable to express it


Every time I reach for you, there's no one there to hold on to

With someone who will wrap her arms around what's left of me
Wanting to be embraced and supported by someone who accepts all of one's flaws and imperfections


Inside I'm barely holding on
Struggling internally and barely keeping it together


There's something that's already gone
Feeling a loss or absence of something important


Inside of me a world is in this all alone
Feeling isolated and alone, as if the world is within oneself
