Words are not Enough
Tata Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's keep the fire burning
Don't let go
I think we got a chance babe
So don't put out the glow

'Cause I believe in us
At least you say
But I don't feel it no more
It's just another game you play

But if you really want me
To stay, be close to you
Better show me baby
Show what love can do

You say you love me
But words are not enough
I want to feel. Feel it's real
Feel the magic when we touch

You say you want me
But words are not enough
I wanna bring back for good
Bring back what we have lost

All the time I've waited
On my own
I've started thinking baby
I'm better off alone

But I still feel for you
I wish I could let go
Stuck in wishful thinking
That love can make us grow

A love for real
Really love me
Keep you close to me
Please stay
Let me show you babe
Show what love can do

You say you love me
But words are not enough
I want to feel. Feel it's real
Feel the magic when we touch

You say you want me
But words are not enough
I wanna bring back for good
Bring back what we have lost

I try to reach you and I try to feel you
Want you close tonight oh
But it seems you keep avoiding me now
Given up on us somehow
And now I'm lost

You say you love me
But words are not enough
I want to feel. Feel it's real
Feel the magic when we touch

You say you want me
But words are not enough
I wanna bring back for good
Bring back what we have lost





I wanna bring back for good
Words are not enough
