Bastava

A smile in return to answer a smile
It was enough
A shared space but no golden altar
It was enough
In a European hotel room we could keep talking or play
Or exchange a slap of peace
The first to give up wins, gets offended, that's what they say
How did we end up wanting to hurt each other so much, I don't know
How did we allow ourselves to say that everyone does what they can
A walk downtown on a white afternoon
It was enough
Anticipating your annoyance, settling accounts over hatred
It was enough
Doing without the good manners that confuse and steal space and depth
And throwing ourselves under the icy water and accepting that it's really water under the bridge
How did we end up wanting to hurt each other so much, I don't know
How did we allow ourselves to say that everyone does what they can
How did we end up, you and me
How did we allow ourselves to say that everyone does their best
It was enough
Saying everything even if little, what you understand later
It was enough
Chewing the words, staying upright
It was enough
Tonight opens my eyes and looks at us, sees poor war caresses
Tonight opens my eyes and looks at us, sees silver tears falling to the ground
How did we end up wanting to hurt each other so much, I don't know
How did we allow ourselves to say that everyone does what they can
(It was enough)
Who does what they can
(It was enough)
It was enough
It was enough
It was enough
Remember how it was enough
It was enough
It was enough
It was enough
