How Much Is Enough

(From the musical "Here's What It Takes")
I
I thought
I thought I had it all
I thought I had it all figured out
Guess not
Guess not everything
Guess not everything was how I'd thought
Forgot
Forgot that everyone
Forgot that everyone must have a dream
But I must have been dreaming
I must've been mad
A life filled with meaning?
It didn't seem so bad
How much is enough?
How much is enough?
How much has it taken
To learn I'm mistaken?
What is enough?
You
You tried
You tried and failed
You tried and failed and failed and tried again
To what end?
Enduring love
For someone who could barely be your friend?
If you spend your life dreaming
spend it asleep
Though kicking and screaming
You'd better dig deep
Rather than grieving
For those you can't help
Talk yourself into leaving
A little self for yourself
How much is enough?
How much is enough?
How much has it taken
To learn I'm mistaken?
What is enough?
Who can say which one of us is wrong
And who is right?
Look at me, as empty as your appetite
How much is enough?
How much is enough?
How much it take
To finally wake
And say what is enough?
Here's what it takes
Here's what it costs
Here's what you've lost
And never get back
And you wonder and you wonder
And you wonder and you wonder
How you made it this far
Well you'd better wake up
Better wake up
It's time to wake up
