Enough For Now Lyrics - The Fray - Fray

The daughter's father watches, quietly we assume 

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

And your name and it's an honor 

It's a shame but it's your honor 

To take it on your shoulder 

'Till 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 twenty-one 

Years and years he waited, just watching for a son 

Someone to go ahead, to take the name instead 

Years and years he waited, and 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 

Sixty years of sorrow, he got five or six of bliss 

Left my mothers' 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 have held you 

Things your father never told you 

That's enough for now 

I would have never left you broken 

I would have held you 

Words your father never told you 

Sixty years of sorrow, you got five or six of bliss 

Left my mother's mother 

Without so much as a kiss.
