Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough

Don Henley & Patti Smith

I don't want to lose you

but I don't want to use you

just to have somebody by my side. I don't want to hate you,

I don't want to take you

but I don't want to be the one to cry.

And that don't really matter to anyone anymore.

But like a fool I keep losing my place

and I keep seeing you walk through that door.

(Chorus)

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much,

and it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust.

There's a reason why people don't stay where they are.

Baby, sometimes, love just aint enough.

Now, I could never change you

I don't want to blame you.

Baby, you don't have to take the fall.

Yes, I may have hurt you, but I did not desert you.

Maybe I just want to have it all.

It makes a sound like thunder

it makes me feel like rain.

And like a fool who will never see the truth,

I keep thinking something's gonna change.

(Chorus)

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much,

and it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust.

There's a reason why people don't stay where they are.

Baby, sometimes, love just aint enough.

And there's no way home

when it's late at night and you're all alone.

Are there things that you wanted to say?

And do you feel me beside you in your bed,

there beside you, where I used to lay?

And there's a danger in loving somebody too much,

and it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch.

There's a reason why people don't stay who they are.

Baby, sometimes, love just ain't enough.

Baby, sometimes, love... it just ain't enough.

Oh, Oh, Oh, No

I love this song. It makes me realize that we cannot rely on love 100% if we want a everlasting relationship. People always have this klise perspective, by loving their partner deeply and truly, they will have a smooth relationship, hence led to a happy marriage life. Actually, love is only a part of factor that can ensure our happy relationship. There are tonnes of aspect that hold us together, and sometimes love on of the reason why we have an unsuccessful relationship. We need to have trust, responsibility, sensibility, understanding each other, and sometimes, money. The combination f this factor with love can help us to develop a blissful marriage life.

By living solely on love is something that you less expects from. Love is only a catalyst. If we ask elderly, a lot of them had arranged marriage. They only met their partner once or twice before marriage, then, walla…they are happy till they die. If we ask them, what are the secrets behind it, and then the answer is simple, try to understand each other. If we ask them, do they love their partner? Then they will answer, they do, eventhough it comes later.

Something that we didn't realize, or we don't want to realize, actually love is a silent killer. It will kill you slowly. It will kill your soul, and then it will kill yourself. Living without a soul is similar to zombie. Sometime when we too love a person, we tend to forget who we are. Because we too love them, we start to feel uncomfortable when they meet someone in opposite sex. We start to become a stalker, following them anywhere, everywhere, anytime. Because we too love them, we feel like dying if they leave us. I read a lot of article and news about people who start to lose their soul and humanity because of love. When their loves one walks away from their life, they start to lose their faith, and they start to disbelieve themselves. Some of them start to abandon themselves, and sometime something more tragic will happen, they will kill their ex-partner or they will kill themselves, or both.

I don't know, later, what type of wife I will be. Maybe I will become an independent wife, a loving wife, an annoying wife, an understanding wife or a selfish wife. One thing that I know, I have to past through this experience on my own, then it will tell what kind of person I will be. Only a person who had the experience will know what kind of lover they are, and what kind of person they are.
