Never Enough Lyrics

I think this song is about trying too hard to make a relationship work when it's obviously doomed to failure. The narrator is determined to make it work with the girl, but no matter how much he does for this purpose, it's never enough because they're just not right for one another. I think the first verse is about their sex life not being up to much, and 'However I smile I smile the most' means he always smiles more than her, because he's trying to create the idea they have a good relationship.

@MaskOfSanity Oh So Wrong this, Mask of Sadness.

My Opinion

@Nereus I wrote the above comment 12 years ago so hardly remembered it and have long since changed my opinion on the meaning of this song. I do appreciate the intelligent, mature and insightful response though.
