paroles de chanson What I Know Is Not Enough - Odette

Oh, on that overcast first day
I'd closed and I'd locked my door
Oh, my breath was thick like a fog
And it downpoured as I hid out in New York
The evenings merged together
Went on forever like a prayer
Echoed endlessly in my head
And the words unsaid
They manifested quickly, swiftly
Into shapes at the end of my bed
And they say-
What I know is not enough
But I've taken all I can
I told you not to break my heart
You promised everything
I'll show my worn décolletage
And tired calves that tense
This time I know I have to change
I hope, oh, I hope that I'll be more than this
I hope, oh, I hope that I'll know more than this
And on that simmering fifth day
Yeah, it was cold, but my skin was on fire
And I threw myself out on the porch in the rain
With my nerves twitching like a live wire
And I heaved like I was bailing hay
Like I was moving great stones
Ooh, but there I stood alone and drenched
On an Autumn morn, in the cold
What I know is not enough
But I've taken all I can
I told you not to break my heart
You promised everything
I'll show my worn décolletage
And tired calves that tense
This time I know I have to change
I hope, oh, I hope that I'll be more than this
I hope, oh, I hope that I'll know more than this
Did you ever truly love?
Did you ever truly trust?
If you care like everyone
Why'd your words amount to dust?
I am not a woman who will teach you
I have a got a beating heart inside me
Blood that flows and eyes that stare so wide
At those who don't collapse into the tide of
Feelings that encompass all your body
Tell me how I'll ever learn to trust
Though you are not my lover or my friend
You've taught me what it's like to be in love, oh
I am not a woman who will teach you
I have a got a beating heart inside me
Blood that flows and eyes that stare so wide
At those who don't collapse into the tide of
Feelings that encompass all your body
Tell me how I'll ever learn to trust
Though you are not my lover or my friend
You've taught me what it's like to be in love
What I know is not enough
But I've taken all I can
I told you not to break my heart
You promised everything
I'll show my worn décolletage
And tired calves that tense
This time I know I have to change
I hope, oh, I hope, oh, I hope
But what I know is not enough
I've taken all I can
I told you not to break my heart
And you promised everything
I'll show my worn décolletage
And tired calves that tense
This time I know I have to change
I hope, oh, I hope that I'll be more than this
I hope, oh, I hope that I'll know more than this
