Enough
Nailah Blackman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heartbreak holds me against my will
Left alone with time here standing still
Never been a stranger to how this feels
And I know if I stay, I won′t let go
Memories like stop signs I've been here before
And if I wanted to chase, I would be drowning in alcohol
Deal with the hangover in the morn
Either way I′ll be okay
You gon' make me spark up like I used to
Go back to old habits like I used to do
So I guess you could say I was more than enough for you
You gon' make me spark up like I used to
Go back to old habits like I used to
So I guess you could say I was more than enough for you
Time just feels like
Breaking what we thought would bend
I′m colouring what you left grey
Now I′m feeling whole again
Yeah I know I'm not perfect but I
Yeah I know I′m worthy like diamonds
I'm no longer hiding my light
No not mine
So you gon′ make me spark up like I used to
Go back to old habits like I used to do
So I guess you could say I was more than enough for you
So you gon' make me spark up like I used to
Go back to old habits like I used to do
So I guess you could say I was more than enough for you
