When life hands you a dusty room and a legacy of sorrow, The Fray suggests you might just have to shoulder it with grace. This tune is a melancholic ode to the trials of inheritance - not of wealth or possessions, but of unfulfilled expectations and emotional baggage. The song's protagonist grapples with the weight of a father's disappointment, generations of untold stories, and the burden of being the unexpected daughter in a lineage desperate for sons. It's all about wrestling tradition, shouldering responsibility, and finding solace in the fact that sometimes, "enough is enough." So next time you're feeling weighed down by your family tree, remember - even if dad left you broken-hearted, at least he left you with an anthem!
Enough for Now
Lyrics
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
[Chorus]
That's enough for now
He should have never left you broken
He should have held you
Things your Father never told you
That's enough for now
He would have never left you broken
He would have held you
Things your Father never could do
The century before me, 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, then a daughter came instead
[Chorus]
Breathing comes in pairs
Except for twice
One begins and one's goodbye
60 years of sorrow, you got 5 or 6 of bliss
Left my mothers' mother
Without so much as a kiss
As a kiss
[Chorus]
60 years of sorrow, you got 5 or 6 of bliss
Left my Mothers' mother
Without so much as a kiss
