Live

"Love Is Not Enough" has been performed live since the Live: With Teeth tour in 2005. It was the first song played in the first show on 2005/03/25, before the album's release. During the With Teeth arena tour, the song was played with the screen still down, the insides of the stage beaming with white light until it was lifted for the next song, "You Know What You Are?"

During the Lights in The Sky tour of 2008 Love is Not Enough was performed with an alternate drum intro. More notably the intro for this version is also the same beat from the start of early Nine Inch Nails demo "Maybe Just Once", a song featured on Purest Feeling. Evidence of these performances can be found on the bootleg compilation "A Million Miles Away".

Lyrics

    The more that we take
    The paler we get
    I can't remember what it is
    We try to forget
    The tile on the floor
    So cold it can sting
    In your eyes is a place
    Worth remembering
    For you to go and take this
    To smash it apart
    I've gone all this fucking way
    To wind up
    To wind up back at the start
    
    Hey the closer we think we are
    Well it only got us so far
    Now you got anything left to show?
    No, no, I didn't think so
    Hey, the sooner we realize
    We cover ourselves with lies
    But underneath we're not so tough
    And love is not enough
    
    It hides in the dark
    Like the withering vein
    We didn't give it a mouth
    So it cannot complain
    It never really had a chance
    We'd never really make it through
    And to think I believed
    I believed I could get better with you
    
    Hey the closer we think we are
    Well it only got us so far
    Now you got anything left to show?
    No, no, I didn't think so
    Hey, the sooner we realize
    We cover ourselves with lies
    But underneath we're not so tough
    And love is not enough
