Story Behind The Song
Written after a breakup, this song sat dormant for 6 years before it came to life in the studio.
Song Description
"Let This Be Enough" is a heart-felt call from anyone who has given their everything to someone or something and it wasn't enough for the receiver.
It could be the voice of the Earth itself, an unrequited love, a deep yearning for reciprocation.
It could be the voice of anyone who has gotten rejected over text messaging or on Discord.
This song could be sung by any single mother or father who goes to sleep exhausted at the end of a day when they aren't sure where tomorrow's groceries are coming from.
For anyone who has ever been without a home and felt like their basic right to exist has been violated over and over again.
For people who have been excluded from the economy because what they offer cannot be commodified.
For anyone who longs to love another deeply through all the ups and downs of this life.
For those who have been lied to, cheated on and otherwise left alone without any understanding of why they were left.
And lastly for those who have been sexually abused and question their right to experience bodily pleasure ever again.
This song is for you.

Lyrics
Say it to my face that you just don't miss me
Say it to my face that you don't want to kiss me
Take me to a place where there's comfort and safety
and I'll tell it to your face I'm your woman, your lady
Chorus
Let this, let this be enough to fill your, fill your cup with love
Let me, let me be the one to hold you close when darkness comes
Instrumental verse
Chorus
Say it to my face that you just don't need me
Say it to my face that you just don't believe me
Let me make a case for love, for money
and I'll say it to your face that we'll always have plenty.
Chorus
Say it to my face that you just don't love me
Say it to my face that you just can't forgive me
Take me to a place where there's music and bounty
and I'll say it to your face I'm your woman, your lady.
