lyrics

Honey, you do not need to be rich
You are silver and gold, you are heart and you are soul

Honey you do not need the perfect job
You are hands, strong and true, you are more than you do.

Honey don't cry, but know if you do
Every tear is a prayer for you

Honey you do not need to be young,
You're a tree, evergreen, you're a song ever-sung

Honey you do not need a different form
You are beautiful now, and forever more

Honey when there's no songs to be sung
If there's blood on your hands, if the death bell is run

Honey when everything turns to dark
When there is pain in your chest, and there's in your heart

Honey please cry, and know when you do
That your broken heart is a prayer for us too

Lovely the pain, it can become
The very hands that will raise you back up

We've been lied to you and I
We're told every second that we're not in love is a waste of time

We've been trying to get it right
But we ain't rich, we ain't famous, we ain't living the good life

Is this not enough?
Is this not enough?

We're too tired to fan a fire
On the ashes of our youth only burning now to expire

We've been right to wet our eyes
Let the water wash away all the dirt that has left us blind

Was this not enough?
Was this not enough?
Was this not enough?
Was this not enough?
