Knowing
Tessa VioletI have this image in my head
That I am on a train going somewhere
That I don't want to 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's 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
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
(Knowing this is not enough is enough)
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
