Knowing

Tessa Violet

I have this image in my head that I am on a train

Going somewhere that I don't wanna go

To my left is the open air, inviting me to jump out on the hill

 

But that'd be insane, it's so much easier to be here on this train

Going somewhere that I don't want to go

And besides, what if I get off and find I like the new place even less?

 

Knowing this is not enough is enough

Knowing this is not enough is enough

 

I don't like the way it feels, being here with you

I can never tell what's real and what is true

And somewhere inside my body, I am saying, I don't want this anymore

 

And once I've heard it, then I've heard it, and you can't stop me now

I will honor and protect her, I will not allow

Myself to squander one more day accepting less than she deserves

 

Knowing this is not enough is enough

Knowing this is not enough is enough

 

My friend, she says, what's strange is

Nothing changes, if nothing changes

 

(Knowing this is not enough is enough)

(Knowing this is not enough is enough)

 

Give yourself the grace to start again

If it hurts you, put it down, if it don't serve you, look around

You're doing great my babe, I swear you're gonna make it

 

You never can know what could come, and it's not done until it's done

You're doing great my babe, I swear you're gonna make it

 

I can do hard things

Parallel parking

Like, it all it just takes practicing

 

I can walk a new path

I can get myself back

I can learn to be a better friend

And give myself the grace to try again
