Текст Mary Chapin Carpenter – The One Who’s Not Enough

It takes a while to shake off the dust
To mend what’s torn, clear off the rust
The journey back is long and rough
When you’ve been the one who’s not enough

Paper wings or feet of clay
When you come up short you get thrown away
Like all this old and useless stuff
You are the one who’s not enough

In a loveless house I did once dwell
But I held my tongue, I did not tell
‘Cause there’s so much shame where there’s so much Hell
When you are the one, you are the one

When love is new, it seems the heart’s too small
To even try to hold it all
But when it fades and fade it does
There’s always one who’s not enough

It takes some time to shake off the dust
To believe again in the things you must
Like your oldest friend and your closest kin
It takes some time to be enough again

And the sky is lit with a thousand stars
And the time is short and the world is ours
