Lyrics

Nearly Enough
Ross Vick III


You gave it nearly enough to win the girl
You kept the shell and lost the pearl
You never know what you will care about
And you?ll only miss it when it?s gone

There?s always something you can do about it
You don?t want to find out
That you didn?t love her nearly enough, not nearly enough
No, You didn?t love, love her nearly enough

And there was that good friend you had long ago, you loved him so
But you forced an all out fight and tried for years to make things right

There?s always something you can do about it
You don?t want to find out
That you didn?t love him nearly enough, not nearly enough
No, You didn?t love, love him nearly enough

Every day that goes by
Every blink of an eye
Sees another chance go bye

And someday when you?re closing your eyes for the last time, don?t have remorse
?Cause you picked the wrong horse, charted the wrong course

There?s always something you can do about it
You don?t want to find out
That you didn?t love life nearly enough, not nearly enough
No, You didn?t love, love life nearly enough
