Never Enough

album: "Octavarium" (2005)
[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: Mike Portnoy]





* back                                                      * next          

Cut myself open wide..Reach inside
Help yourself....To all I have to give
And then you help yourself again
And then complain that...You didn't like the way
I put the knife in wrong....You didn't like the way
My blood spilled on your brand new floor

What would you say...If I walked away
Would you appreciate....But then it'd be too late
Because I can only take so much of your ungrateful ways
Everything is never enough

Sacrifice my life...Neglect my kids and wife
All for you to be happy...All those sleepless nights
And countless fights to give you more
And then you say how dare that....I didn't write you back
I must be too good for you....I only care about myself

What would you say....If I walked away
Would you appreciate....But then it'd be too late
Because I can only take so much of your ungrateful ways
Everything is never enough
