enough
Alex Roe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Sitting in the dark, all night fighting shadows
And the urge to call you up hits me like an arrow
It ain't the whiskey talking or the loneliness I'm feeling
It's the memories all the little things that keep me from healing
I'd give up all the days I got left on this earth
Because without you I don't know what they're worth, no
This heart don't have a home without you in it, no
I'd stand before you, as a man who's been broken
Truer words never spoken
Is that enough
Is that enough, for your love
The flame I keep inside burns through rainy nights
Even though I tried to put it out so many times
Good books on the table so I can get some advice
I can't rest my heavy head, 'cause I'm still lost in your eyes
I'd give up all the days I got left on this earth
Because without you I don't know what they're worth
I'd give it all for you, if you let me
This heart don't have a home without you in it, no
And I'd stand before you, as a man who's been broken
Truer words never spoken, no
Is that enough
Is that enough, for your love
I'd give it all for you, if you let me
This heart don't have a home without you in it, no
I'd stand before you, as a man who's been broken
Truer words never spoken, no
Is that enough
Is that enough
Is that enough
Is that enough, for your love
Overall Meaning
The song "Enough" by Alex Roe is a heart-wrenching ballad about a man who is struggling with the memories of his lost love. The lyrics describe a man who is fighting shadows of his past while trying to move on from a relationship that has ended. He admits that he still has the urge to call his ex-lover, but he knows that it's not the right thing to do. He realizes that it's not the whiskey or the loneliness that he's feeling, but it's the memories and the little things that make it hard for him to heal.
The chorus of the song is poignant and powerful. The singer is willing to give up everything, including all the days he has left on earth, just to have his ex-lover back. He believes that his heart has no home without her and is standing before her as a man who's been broken. He's pouring out his heart to her, asking her if his love, and all that he is willing to give up, is enough.
The second verse sees the man admitting that he has tried to put out the flame inside him that still burns for her, but nothing seems to work. He's trying to find solace in books and advice, but he can't sleep because he's still lost in her eyes. The song closes with the chorus one last time, with the man still begging for an answer, asking if all that he is willing to give up is enough for her love.
