From Justus

Why is it never enough
No matter what I do?
I gave it all that I've got
And it's always too few

And now you're asking for more
Why do I hesitate?
'Cause I know in the end
That it's always too late
And not enough for you

I've often heard you say
You've got to seize the day
That when your life is gone,
Oh how it's gone for so long

But there are often times
When life is not so kind
And there are those around
Who need your feet on the ground

And it's not enough
It's never enough
I don't stand a chance
To fill your sweet lovin' cup
'Cause it's not enough
It's never enough
It's not enough for you

Oh, I long for all those years
Wasted alone with these endless tears

And it's not enough
It's never enough
I don't stand a chance
To fill your sweet lovin' cup

'Cause it's not enough
It's never enough

It's not enough for you
It's not enough
It's never enough
I don't stand a chance
To fill your sweet lovin' cup
'Cause it's not enough
It's never enough
It's not enough for you
For you
