The hands of fate move in mysterious ways

Tugging at tired thin strings of our love in the places they’ve frayed

They shape the clay from which all our patience is built

Crack them wide open with violent defiance in kilns of our guilt

Try as I may

But I know you won’t come through

Love’s not enough, no, it’s never enough

It’s never enough for you

Our love’s the darkness that hides in the heart of man

Openly sobbing on my way back home while listening to “Marianne”

If truth is base, and heart is superstructure

Love is class conflict with your econ instructor

Try as I may

But I know you won’t come through

Love’s not enough, no, it’s never enough

It’s never enough for you

Study the stars as they pass every night

Laughing aloud because you know you’re right

Words are caught, choking my throat

Push through to say it, though I’m still afraid that I’ll never let go

Try as I may

But I know you won’t come through

Love’s not enough, no, it’s never enough

It’s never enough for you
