Song Description

I have received radio playtime in Europe (the demo-ed version) and the DJ said this song was well received by his audience. Since making the demo, I have re-arranged and changed the lyrics and I believe the song is much younger and stronger sounding now.

Lyrics

Say When
(Love?s not Enough) (re-vised lyrics March, 2005)

Copyright: April, 2004
Written By: Lisa A. Courtney, BMI Songwriter

(Optional: Chorus First)

1st Verse:

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 you?re world came crashing down
I lost the man I thought knew.

Chorus:
He'd say (optional)
When you?ve had enough
When you feel like giving up
Say when?
Say when...
Love?s not enough.?

2nd Verse:

You tried to hide your wounded pride
But, it got the best of you,
In your place there was a bitter man
Who started pushing me away.

There?s competition between us now
Who is right and who is best
Does it really matter now
Our life?s become a battle ground.

Chorus:

He'd say (Optional)
When you?ve had enough
When you feel like giving up
Say when?
Say when?
Love?s not enough.?

3rd Verse:

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've 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:

When you?ve had enough
When you feel like giving up
Say when?
Say when?
Love?s not enough.?

Tag: (optional)

Now I know...
Love's not enough.
