Enough
The Memorials Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never was enough.
But I was just enough bug up.
And you really did want me.
But I was always wanting your love.
I gave you all I had.
Yeah, that is right.
But it was not enough.
And I have just had enough,
I am so tired of wanting you.

Still you say, stay with me!
Lovely, stay with me!
Please just stay with me!
Lovely, stay!

It is all backwards the way I do not love you that much.
And your touch is not my remedy, darling you set me free.
But hold me down, though I surrendered to you.
I gave you all I had
Yeah, that is right.
But you brush me off
When I feel I am lost,
You call my name,
You call my name.

And you say
Stay with me!
Please just stay with me!
Stay with me, stay!

I am so tired of wanting your love,
Seems it is haunting me round every corner.
I cannot get away!
I cannot get away!
I cannot get away!
All I hear is stay!
Stay with me!
Please just
Stay with me!

If I am the truth then why would you make a laugh of me.
I am down for you entirely,
I have nothing left to prove.
You leave me now you lose
So can you choose or must I do it for you.
I am not amused.
A game of love is what we play.
A bad romance is in our fate but I will partake.
It is masochistic but the pain is all I long for.
Every day I will give it all for your heart break.
I know you feel me...
You are so weak, you tell me No
But you do not mean it.
I keep it all inside to be the way you like




And it is a shame that I,
I never was enough.

Overall Meaning

The Memorials' song Enough is about unrequited love and the pain it causes. The lyrics suggest that the singer gave all they had to the person they loved, but it was never enough for them. They are tired of wanting the other person's love and feeling haunted by the thought of it. The other person seems to want the singer's attention, but at the same time, they do not take their love seriously. It is a bad romance, but the singer will still pursue the other person, even if it means risking getting hurt.


The song's lyrics are very emotional and showcase the raw pain of unrequited love. The lyrics suggest that the person loved so much that they lost their self-respect and sacrificed everything they had for the other person. They could not break free from the other person's hold on them, and this caused them a lot of pain. The lyrics suggest that the other person did not take the singer's love seriously, and this made the pain even worse.
