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 twenty one   Years and years he waited, just watching for a son   For someone to go ahead and 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
