Never Enough
Oselie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

What am I here for
Why do I pray
I pray for the feelings
That fades away
Cause I've been feeling numb for too long 

Taking control now
You've watched me grow
My friends they help me
Don't let me fall
They never gave up on me 
Like you did

I was patiently 
Waiting for tomorrow
I was waiting for your touch
Holding on only to uncover
A second is never enough

I don't belive in love anymore
I don't belive in love
I don't belive in love anymore
I don't belive in love

Head on my pillow
Nothing's the same
Everything's blurry hope it will change
Holding on but losing hope

Colours are fading
Turning to grey
I'm feeling wasted and so ashamed
Thought I was strong but I've never felt
like this before

I was patiently 
Waiting for tomorrow
I was waiting for your touch
Holding on only to uncover
A second is never enough

I don't belive in love anymore
I don't belive in love
I don't belive in love anymore
I don't belive in love
(I don't)

Ooh 
No a second is never enough
ooh
No a second second is never

I don't belive in love anymore
I don't belive in love
I don't belive in love anymore
I don't belive in love

I was patiently 
Waiting for tomorrow
I was waiting for your touch
Holding on only to uncover




A second is never enough
I don't I don't
