Live
"Love Is Not Enough" has been performed live since the Live: With Teeth tour in 2005. It was the first song played in the first show on 2005/03/25, before the album's release. During the With Teeth arena tour, the song was played with the screen still down, the insides of the stage beaming with white light until it was lifted for the next song, "You Know What You Are?"
Lyrics
The more that we take
The paler we get
I can't remember what it is
We try to forget
The tile on the floor
So cold it can sting
In your eyes is a place
Worth remembering
For you to go and take this
To smash it apart
I've gone all this fucking way
To wind up
To wind up back at the start
Hey the closer we think we are
Well it only got us so far
Now you got anything left to show?
No, no, I didn't think so
Hey, the sooner we realize
We cover ourselves with lies
But underneath we're not so tough
And love is not enough
It hides in the dark
Like the withering vein
We didn't give it a mouth
So it cannot complain
It never really had a chance
We'd never really make it through
And to think I believed
I believed I could get better with you
Hey the closer we think we are
Well it only got us so far
Now you got anything left to show?
No, no, I didn't think so
Hey, the sooner we realize
We cover ourselves with lies
But underneath we're not so tough
And love is not enough
