Enough For Now - The Fray

The Daughters’ Father watches, quietly we assume

He’s no longer with us but he left this dusty room

And your name it’s an honor

It’s a shame but it’s your honor

To take it on your shoulder

’til you can find another

That’s enough for now

He should have never left you broken

He should have held you

Things your Father never could do

That’s enough for now

He would have never left you broken

He would have 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

someone to go ahead, to take the name instead

Years and years he waited, but a daughter came instead

But that’s enough for now

He should have never left you broken

He should have held you

Things your Father never could do

That’s enough for now

He would have never left you broken

He would have held you

Things your Father never told you

Breathing comes in pairs

Except for twice

One begins and one’s goodbye

60 years of sorrow, he got 5 or 6 of bliss

Left my mothers’ mother

Without so much as a kiss

As a kiss

And that’s enough for now

He never wanted to leave you broken

He would have held you

Things your father never could do

That’s enough for now

I would have never left you broken

I would have held you

Things your father never could doooo

Words your father never told you

60 years of sorrow, he got 5 or 6 of bliss

Left my Mothers’ mother

Without so much as a kiss
