A returned smile to respond to a smile
It was enough
A shared space but no golden altar
It was enough
In a hotel room in Europe
You could keep talking or play
Or let's exchange a slap of peace
The first one who surrenders wins, the one who gets offended says it

How we got to wanting to hurt each other so much I don't know
How we allowed ourselves to say that everyone does what they can

A walk downtown on a white afternoon
It was enough
To foresee your annoyance, to reckon with the hatred
It was enough
To do without good manners
That confuse and steal space and thickness
And throw ourselves under the cold water
And accept that it really is water under the bridge

How we got to wanting to hurt each other so much I don't know
How we allowed ourselves to say that everyone does what they can
How we ended up, you and me
How we allowed ourselves to say that everyone does their best for themselves

It was enough
To say everything even if little that you understand later
It was enough
To chew the words, to stay vertical
It was enough
This night opens my eyes and looks at us
Sees poor caresses of war
This night opens my eyes and looks at us
Sees silver tears falling to the ground

How we got to wanting to hurt each other so much I don't know
How we allowed ourselves to say that everyone does what they can
(It was enough) That does what they can
(It was enough) It was enough
It was enough
Oh yeah, it was enough
It was enough
It was enough
Remember how much it was enough
It was enough
It was enough
It was enough
