"Death Is Not Enough" lyrics - THE PRETENDERS

Goodnight, oh my sweet love
Let me cover your heart with a rose
Sleep tight, my deceived love
Well you saw only thorns, I suppose
Funny how you look so peaceful
No more anger, no more fear
But on your cheek shines a single tear

[Chorus:]
I'm the one to mellow you
Forever I will treasure you
Hold your hand and pull you through
When the going gets too rough
I'm the one to mellow you
Break the spell that's killing you
And so willing just to see you through
'Cause death is not enough
'Cause death is not enough

Goodnight, oh my sweet love
Let me shine the light of a million loves on you
I try so hard to make some sense of it
But the world is just a joke
I promise you that I know what's gone and broke

[Chorus:]
I'm the one to mellow you
Forever I will treasure you
Hold your hand and pull you through
When the going gets too rough
I'm the one to mellow you
Break the spell that's killing you
And so willing just to see you through
'Cause death is not enough
'Cause death is not enough
