[Verse 1]
We had it all, or so it seemed
Dreams and late-night promises, we believed
But somewhere along the way, we lost our touch
Maybe my love wasn't enough
[Chorus]
Maybe my love wasn't enough
All these feelings we tried to rise above
In the end, nothing but broken trust
Maybe my love wasn't enough
[Verse 2]
Nights we spent alone, side by side
Silence growing louder, no place to hide
I gave you all I had, even when it was rough
But maybe my love wasn't enough
[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to hold on, tried to stay strong
But the love we had was already gone
[Chorus]
Maybe my love wasn't enough
All these feelings we tried to rise above
In the end, nothing but broken trust
Maybe my love wasn't enough
[Bridge]
Now I'm left here thinking, where did we go wrong?
Was it the timing or the melody of our song?
I thought forever wouldn't be this tough
But maybe my love, maybe it wasn't enough
[Chorus]
Maybe my love wasn't enough
All these feelings we tried to rise above
In the end, nothing but broken trust
Maybe my love wasn't enough
[Outro]
So I'll move on, carry this bittersweet ache
Maybe someday, I'll learn from my mistakes
But for now, I'll just accept this bluff
Maybe my love wasn't enough
