Lyrics
Enough
have you tried enough for him?
have you cried enough for him?
have you tried and cried and lied and died enough for him?
or will you always be
his giving tree?
when oh when
is enough enough?
how long must you keep holding on?
when oh when is enough enough?
how much damage must be done?
have you done enough for him?
have you come enough for him?
have you given in and given up
enough for him?
or will you always be
his kicking tree?
when oh when
is enough enough?
how long must you keep holding on?
when oh when is enough enough?
how much damage must be done?
save your soul now
let him keep the stuff
to win your life back you must
call his bluff
so when oh when
is enough enough??
when oh when
is enough enough?
how long must you keep going down?
when oh when is enough enough?
how much damage must be done?
save your soul now?
