What I Know Is Not Enough Lyrics
[00:05.49] Oh, on that overcast first day
[00:09.42] I'd closed and I'd locked my door
[00:13.61]
[00:15.66] Oh, my breath was thick like a fog
[00:19.88] And it downpoured as I hid out in New York
[00:25.39]
[00:27.45] The evenings merged together
[00:29.76] Went on forever like a prayer
[00:32.10] Echoed endlessly in my head
[00:37.77] And the words unsaid
[00:39.84] They manifested quickly, swiftly
[00:42.70] Into shapes at the end of my bed
[00:46.77] And they say-
[00:49.75] What I know is not enough
[00:52.92] But I've taken all I can
[00:55.10] I told you not to break my heart
[00:58.55] You promised everything
[01:00.51] I'll show my worn décolletage
[01:04.77] And tired calves that tense
[01:06.01] This time I know I have to change
[01:09.56] I hope, oh, I hope that I'll be more than this
[01:15.08] I hope, oh, I hope that I'll know more than this
[01:21.79]
[01:28.19] And on that simmering fifth day
[01:32.17] Yeah, it was cold, but my skin was on fire
[01:38.40] And I threw myself out on the porch in the rain
[01:43.13] With my nerves twitching like a live wire
[01:47.53]
[01:50.11] And I heaved like I was bailing hay
[01:54.01] Like I was moving great stones
[01:58.05]
[02:01.48] Ooh, but there I stood alone and drenched
[02:05.40] On an Autumn morn, in the cold
[02:09.80]
[02:12.46] What I know is not enough
[02:15.65] But I've taken all I can
[02:17.85] I told you not to break my heart
[02:21.25] You promised everything
[02:23.38] I'll show my worn décolletage
[02:26.72] And tired calves that tense
[02:28.72] This time I know I have to change
[02:32.23] I hope, oh, I hope that I'll be more than this
[02:37.88] I hope, oh, I hope that I'll know more than this
[02:44.38]
[02:46.53] Did you ever truly love?
[02:49.30] Did you ever truly trust?
[02:52.12] If you care like everyone
[02:54.93] Why'd your words amount to dust?
[02:59.09]
[03:03.58] I am not a woman who will teach you
[03:06.17] I have a got a beating heart inside me
[03:08.75] Blood that flows and eyes that stare so wide
[03:10.19] At those who don't collapse into the tide of
[03:13.13] Feelings that encompass all your body
[03:15.77] Tell me how I'll ever learn to trust
[03:19.56] Though you are not my lover or my friend
[03:21.15] You've taught me what it's like to be in love, oh
[03:24.23] I am not a woman who will teach you
[03:27.05] I have a got a beating heart inside me
[03:29.54] Blood that flows and eyes that stare so wide
[03:33.20] At those who don't collapse into the tide of
[03:35.26] Feelings that encompass all your body
[03:37.87] Tell me how I'll ever learn to trust
[03:40.41] Though you are not my lover or my friend
[03:44.38] You've taught me what it's like to be in love
[03:47.45] What I know is not enough
[03:49.41] But I've taken all I can
[03:52.93] I told you not to break my heart
[03:55.01] You promised everything
[03:57.07] I'll show my worn décolletage
[04:01.49] And tired calves that tense
[04:02.69] This time I know I have to change
[04:06.09] I hope, oh, I hope, oh, I hope
[04:09.12] But what I know is not enough
[04:11.53] I've taken all I can
[04:13.78] I told you not to break my heart
[04:17.55] And you promised everything
[04:20.24] I'll show my worn décolletage
[04:22.61] And tired calves that tense
[04:24.79] This time I know I have to change
[04:28.12] I hope, oh, I hope that I'll be more than this
[04:35.29] I hope, oh, I hope that I'll know more than this
