The song "Love Don't Mean Enough" by Colin Hay tells the story of a relationship that ends because the love between the two individuals is not enough to sustain it. The narrator had hoped that their love could bring happiness and positivity to their lives, but their partner decides to leave them anyways, believing that love is not enough to make a relationship work. The narrator is left alone with their thoughts and candlelight, thinking about how love may not always be enough to overcome life's uncertainties and tricky situations. They recall the story of Cinderella, in which her sisters tried to tell her that love was not enough to succeed, but in the end, Cinderella prevailed. The song also touches on the narrator's realization that their heart is beating out of time, indicating that they need to make changes to stop living a rough life. They believe that their partner was wrong to say that love doesn't mean enough and that love can still bring happiness and fulfillment if nurtured and cared for. Overall, the song is about the struggle to maintain a relationship when faced with challenges and doubts about love's ability to sustain it. Even though love may not always be enough, it is still a vital part of life that brings joy and meaning to those who embrace it.
