Letra What i know is not enough Odette

What i know is not enough

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
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 trustà
If you care like everyone
Why'd your words amount to dustà

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

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

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
