Lyrics
Say When
(Re-vised Sept. 2005)
Written By: Lisa Courtney, BMI Songwriter
There was a time when I thought love was all
That it took to make a life
But, now I know love's not enough
To make everything alright.
At first, you were the stronger one
You were always there for me
But when your world came crashing down
I lost the man I thought you'd be.
You tried to hide your wounded pride
But it got the best of you
In your place was bitter man
Who started pushing me away.
Chorus:
He'd say
When you've had enough
When you feel like giving up
Say When...
Say When...
Love's not enough.
I never thought that I could say goodbye
But, I'm not the fool you think I am
Now, you've lost everything you love
You finally got what you deserve.
The admiration in your eyes
Tells me you're still in love with me
But in self-defense you won't get a chance
To break my heart again.
Bridge:
Wipe a tear from my eye...
Goodbye.....
Chorus:
He'd say...
When you've had enough
When you feel like giving up
Say When...
Say When...
Love's not enough.
Tag:
Now, I know loves not enough..
No love is not enough.
