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 cans ting 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
