Enough for now

The daughter's father watches
Quietly we assume
He's not 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 5 or 6 of bliss
Left my mother's mother
Without so much 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 5 or 6 of bliss
Left my mother's mother
Without so much as a kiss
