Violet, Tessa - Words Ain't Enough Lyrics






You're fire, you're proud
But you're cold when it counts
It's open and shut

You can say you love me
But - words ain't enough

You want me, you say
But then you turn away
And I'm pressing my luck

You can say you love me
But - words ain't enough

Cut myself into
Pieces easy to chew

Carve me up into
Someone you'd like to choose

Till I'm only pieces of you

So, you can say you love me
But - words ain't enough

So, you can say you love me
But - words ain't enough

Violet, Tessa Words Ain't Enough Comments
  1. E.... H....

    dodie cried.... ;(

  2. h.... a....

    When i saw the title, I've already knew that this is one of the best duo ever

  3. E.... ....

    que fla que este tema este en el album de 2019

  4. K.... ....

    yall makin it difficult to be gay

  5. D.... Z....

    I'm getting some serious Elliott Smith vibes out of this.. Simply love it :*

  6. T.... C....

    I could tell you that I love you but words ain't enough and that is sad because words is all I have to start with.

  7. z.... p....

    It's very cute. Words have meaning. Relationships are hard work I was told.

  8. p.... ....

    hey loves, i need some help. i have a crush on a girl. she's sweet, funny, smart, we have the same life plans. i want to love her until the end of time. we'll have cats, you know? but at the same time, i have a crush on another girl. she's adorable, intelligent and a little dirty minded. i love her to the moon and back. but neither of these girls will ever like me in this way. they're both straight. yet another issue is that the first girl and i want to live together when we're older, but she wants me to be open to moving out eventually. even if we live together i'll never escape my longing for love from her, nor from the second girl. what can i do? i just want to be loved, and i don't want it to end

  9. M.... H....

    No way acoustic music with auto tune? Its master lvl. If you play mortak kombat you must kno who with all won goro. Its metaphore undesrtood like you want.

  10. Z.... D....

    can't believe this was almost three yrs ago
    I was 13 and was like "omg I get this so much!" how silly I was...

  11. D.... E....

    You look soooo aesthetic and beautiful omg✨✨✨✨

  12. E.... T....

    This needs to be on Spotify immediately

  13. G.... H....

    "Legacies" brought me here and I'm glad that it did.

  14. v.... ....

    Dorothy, you're a minion.

  15. s.... ....

    im back here after two years:(

  16. k.... ....

    This is on her album now wowee I'm crying

  17. S.... J....

    This song and arrangement is so good. I am crying.

  18. d.... U....

    I can hear the pain.

  19. E.... V....

    Woah this is on her album now damn

    E.... V....

    A studio recorded version of this, only with Tessa’s vocals. But yeah... I like it quite a bit ^^

  20. z.... d....

    You both sound beautiful and the perfect combination of voices.

  21. L.... x....

    i'm absolutely in love with this song (studio version) and i completely forgot about this one?????

  22. K.... E....

    so good

  23. S.... C....

    i was SO excited to hear this on Tessa's new album Bad Ideas!!!! I didn't recognize it until second verse and as soon as I realized it was this song I freaked out a little bit lol

  24. I.... N....

    back here after listening to tessa’s album and it’s so funny how they basically switched aesthetics

    I.... N....

    You're so right, wowee

  25. E.... C....

    I KNEW I’d heard this before! How hecking good is Tessa’s new album 😻💙

  26. I.... ....

    It‘s finally on Spotify, I’ve waited so long

  27. S.... L....

    i hate that almost everyone in the comments are thinking it's dodie's song but it's tessaaaaaaa'ssssss-

  28. A.... D....

    While you have to decode some songs by listening to them over and over and finding its meaning piece by piece, this song lets the lyrics immediately get under you skin and makes you relive your own experiences with “words not being enough” and it hurts as much as I love it.

  29. C.... W....

    well, well, well...

  30. E.... A....

    I absolutely adore this song

  31. L.... W....

    It's been a long time and it's so great to see how far Dodie and Tessa got in their careers :)♡

  32. g.... t....

    i still come back to this song. i remember getting the notification for this video and hurrying to watch it, sitting in silence with tears rolling down my face, wanting to hug you through the screen. this song means so much to me. i remember sending it to a friend of mine, who i no longer hold close. i remember spamming him, about how much i love you, how much i love this song, how comforted it makes me feel. now i look back at that memory and think, *fuck*. *fuck, fuck fuck.* i shouldn't miss him, after what he did to me, but this song makes me think of all the happy moments, all the saturdays we would stay up late playing minecraft together. but it also reminds me of the things he said. the way he treated me, tearing me to pieces, making me doubt my own sanity. this song is so bittersweet, so warm, so comforting, reminding me of winter, cozy days. i think half of these views must be me, coming here to cry, to smile, to remember. because god, i remember. i fucking remember.

  33. H.... C....

    HOW have I never seen this Oml 😍😍

  34. J.... B....

    Extreme more than words!

  35. S.... A....

    My dream duo :)

  36. P.... A....

    Something about the chord progression feels like home.

  37. C.... F....

    I am still as in love with this song as I was two years ago, but at the moment this song is painfully relatable. So now that I can relate to this song, I can honestly appreciate how beautiful it is even more <3

  38. c.... i....

    this is why i’m gay

  39. T.... E....

    I love this, very underrated. 💖

  40. m.... ....

    this song is super cute and amazing, i love it and i love tessa and dodie. (side note: i'm watching this in august 2019 and they both look so different)

  41. m.... ....

    I used to listen to a playlist with this song in it and I always thought it was gorgeous, but this is the first time I've listened since my break up last December, and um. Wow. It's certainly a mood.

  42. I.... H....

    Funny story; when I was rejecting my sexuality, I found songs from both Dodie and Tessa... Let’s just say that I was no longer questioning and rejecting myself because like? Have you ever heard these women sing? They made this lesbian more lesbian.
    Also I had a sort of a celebrity crush on their voices.

  43. L.... P....

    Dodie looks like a minion in this

  44. h.... c....

    absolutely beautiful lyrically

  45. B.... P....

    THE WINK at the END I DIED

  46. H.... ....

    This sounds kinda like tourist

  47. T.... E....

    Wow, I really love this song! Thank you! ❤🎶

  48. T.... ....

    I’m pretty sure about 1000 of the views are mine

  49. H.... ....

    Okay but dodie here is solangelo in a look. Am I wrong?

  50. L.... E....

    please get married

  51. T.... w....

    When I first listened to this song I cried cause of how beautiful their voices are

  52. I.... M....

    Dodie looks exactly like Hedi

  53. C.... ....

    Love how they’ve swapped styles now!

  54. F.... M....
