“Just Enough To Love You” first appeared on Bayside’s 2003 Split EP with Name Taken. It was later re-recorded for this album and updated lyrics. Check out the original version here.
[Verse 1]
Push me out from the darkness
To a sky that's colored blue
Somewhere someone's finding happiness
While I'm still here so hung up on you
[Chorus]
Nothing is real
And I want you to know
That I'm not alright
Tear open my chest
I'll try not to flinch
I won't make promises
I won't make promises
You taught me that
[Post-Chorus]
I'm still losing what's left of my self esteem
And I'm still watching the slow fading of all my daydreams
[Verse 2]
The hardest things to say are the words that mean the most
So I'll bite my tongue till it bleeds and I doubt you'll even know
The easiest things to fake are feelings to fool someone else
And I've been tricked for so long by you
That I spent these last few months in my own hell
[Pre-Chorus]
A failed apology
A day too late but now I see
That all you really want's to see me dangle neck first from a tree
But what would you need me for
You've got friends galore
And all you've ever been to me
Is a waste of time and nothing more
[Chorus]
Nothing is real (Nothing is real)
And I want you to know (and I want you to know)
That I'm not alright (That I'm not alright)
When you tear (tear open my chest) open my chest
(I'll try not to flinch) I'll try not to flinch
(I won't make promises) I won't make promises
(I won't make promises) You taught me that
[Outro]
I hate myself
For loving you like this
And I hate myself for hating myself
Just enough to love you
Just enough to love you
