I’ve Seen Enough

You don’t get surprised after a while.

I’ve watched promises rot Right where they stood Seen good intentions Do more harm than good I’ve heard the speeches, heard the vows Heard the same old stuff Funny how it all sounds hollow Once you’ve seen enough

I don’t need it explained I recognize the signs

I’ve seen enough To know how this ends I’ve seen enough To know who pretends I don’t chase illusions I don’t call your bluff Say what you came to say — I’ve seen enough

I’ve seen loyalty bend When pressure shows Seen truth get dressed up So it don’t look exposed They swear this time is different Swear they changed their ways But patterns don’t disappear They just take breaks

Experience don’t shout It just nods

I’ve seen enough To walk away clean I’ve seen enough To know what you mean I don’t need the ending I don’t need the proof I’ve seen enough To know what’s true

Some men learn from books Some learn from scars I learned from watchin’ People show who they are

I’ve seen enough To keep my ground I’ve seen enough Not to stick around I don’t burn bridges I just don’t cross I’ve seen enough To know the cost

Yeah… That’s experience talkin’.
