Píseň: Enough Of Me

Interpret:
Melissa Etheridge
Album:
Breakdown
We were all wounded in some domestic war 
I found you to settle my score 
You looked like father 
You felt like mother 
My mind told my heart 
There is no other


And I gave you my soul
And every ounce of control
I gave you my skin
And my original sin 
I gave you my pride and my side
oh my pride


Ain't that enough 
I turned your dreams into lightning 
Ain't that enough
I held the world back for you 
Ain't that enough
I loved you past the point of dying 
Ain't that enough of me for you 


I was so sure one and one gave you one 
My noisy love is coming undone
Now you leave like father 
Disappointed like mother 
And I know in my heart
There is no other 


And I gave you my soul
And every ounce of control
And I gave you my shame 
And my eternal flame 
And I gave you my need and my seed Oh my need 


Why can't you hold on
