What I Forgot to Want Front Cover

Lyric

Enough Was Not Enough

Mavika Tell

I bought the bread

I paid the light

I put clean sheets

On the bed last night

The cups were washed

The floor was clear

Everything needed

Was standing here

But something small

Kept moving through

A door in me

I never knew

Enough Was Not Enough

I had the day in line

Enough Was Not Enough

I said that I was fine

The table was full

The room was warm

But something still

Kept asking for more

I made the list

I crossed it clean

Milk and soap

And tangerines

I smiled at home

I turned the key

Nothing was missing

Except for me

A little ache

Sat in the blue

Not loud enough

To point me to

Enough Was Not Enough

I had the day in line

Enough Was Not Enough

I said that I was fine

The table was full

The room was warm

But something still

Kept asking for more

Maybe I learned

To need too small

Maybe I called

The ceiling a sky

Maybe I held

My hunger still

Until it forgot

How to cry

Enough Was Not Enough

I had the day in line

Enough Was Not Enough

And no one saw me trying

The table was full

The room was warm

But something still

Kept asking for more

Enough Was Not Enough

I knew it at the door

I brought home everything

And wanted more

Nothing was missing

Except for more
