I won't forget what you said
Still makes me nervous instead
Of letting it just go on
And try to
Just go through
And do not spend attention to those tempting distractions
You try to stuff my head
Suggesting I am mad
I'm missing all the good things
'Cos I deserve them,
I really need them
And though I don't know yet you're telling me again
It's not enough
it's not enough, enough no
I do not miss what I had
It is peaceful instead
Of being haunted by the nightmares
In which I’d have to
Take care
Of all the stupid crap you try to tell me everyday
You're barking up the wrong tree
I'm here
You're there
That's good because you'll never interrupt me
By saying
That I need things
And though you don't know yet I'm telling you again
It's not enough, it's not enough respect no
It's not enough, it's not enough reflection
