Enough for Now

Lyrics

The daughter's father watches, quietly we assume
 He's no longer with us but he left this dusty room
 In your name and it's an honor, it's a shame but it's your honor
 Take it on your shoulder 'til you can find another
 That's enough for now, he should've never left you broken
 He should've held you, things your father never could do
 That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken
 He would've held you, things your father never told you
 ♪
 The century before you never could turn 21
 Years and years he waited just watching for a son
 For someone to go ahead, take the name he said
 Years and years he waited and a daughter came instead
 But that's enough for now, he should've never left you broken
 He should've held you, things your father never could do
 That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken
 He would've held you, things your father never told you
 ♪
 Breathing comes in pairs
 Except for twice
 One begins and one's goodbye
 Sixty years of sorrow he got five or six of bliss
 Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss, as a kiss.
 ♪
 But that's enough for now, he never wanted to leave you broken
 He would've held you, things your father never told you
 That's enough for now, I would've never left you broken
 I would've held you, things your father never could do
 Words your father never told you
 Sixty years of sorrow, he got five or six of bliss
 Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss
