Your Love Alone Is Not Enough

Manic Street Preachers · National Treasures - The Complete Singles [2011]

Your love alone

Is not enough, not enough, not enough

When times get tough

Oh, they get tough, they get tough, they get tough



I'd trade all your heroes in for ghosts

In for ghosts, in for ghosts

They're always the ones that love you most

Love you most, love you most



Your love alone

Is not enough, not enough, not enough

It's what you felt

It's what you said, what you said, what you said



You said the sky would fall on you

Fall on you, fall on you

Through all the pain your eyes stay blue

They stay blue, baby blue



But your love alone won't save the world

You knew the secret of the universe

Despite it all you made it worse

It left you lonely

It left you cursed



You stole the sun

Straight from my heart, from my heart, from my heart

With no excuses

Just fell apart, fell apart, fell apart



No you won't make a mess of me

Mess of me, mess of me

For you're as blind as a man can be

Man can be, man can be



I could've seen for miles and miles

I could've made you feel alive

I could've placed us in exile

(I could have read out all your lines)

I could have shown you

(I could have shown you)

How to cry



Your love alone

Is not enough

Your love alone

Is not enough



La la la la la la la la

I could've shown you

Oh, shown you how to cry



Your love alone

Is not enough

Your love alone
