Had Enough: Song Lyrics of Struggle, and Exhaustion

Had Enough by Thorne Empire

By Thorne EmpirePublished about a month ago • 2 min read

I had enough honey, and enough lemons,

Tried to smile through it all, but I’m barely keeping steady.

So many highs and lows, I’m lost, tired,

I don’t know how much more I can take, but I’m still progressing.


Honey on my lips, but the bitterness stings,

Every time I rise, I’m knocked off my wings.

I’ve seen the sunshine, but I’ve felt the rain,

Lemonade dreams, mixed with so much pain.


I’m stuck in the middle, between dark and light,

Fighting every battle just to make it through the night.

They say you gotta fight, but I’ve been fighting for years,

Now I’m drowning in my thoughts, swimming through my fears.


Tired of the climb, but the peak feels far,

Every step gets heavier, I’m searching for a star.

But no matter how much I ache or break,

I keep moving forward, even when I feel like giving up.


I had enough honey, and enough lemons,

Tried to smile through it all, but I’m barely keeping steady.

So many highs and lows, I’m lost, tired,

I don’t know how much more I can take, but I’m still progressing.


The sweet and the sour, mixing in my veins,

Chasing every high, but I’m caught in the chains.

I’ve been through the fire, I’ve walked through the rain,

But now I’m looking at life like it’s all just a game.


They told me I’d break, but I’m still standing strong,

Had to learn my worth before I could right my wrongs.

You see the smiles, but you don't see the scars,

I’ve been through hell, but now I’m shooting for the stars.


Tired of the climb, but the peak feels far,

Every step gets heavier, I’m searching for a star.

But no matter how much I ache or break,

I keep moving forward, even when I feel like giving up.


I had enough honey, and enough lemons,

Tried to smile through it all, but I’m barely keeping steady.

So many highs and lows, I’m lost, tired,

I don’t know how much more I can take, but I’m still progressing.


I had enough honey, and enough lemons,

Tried to smile through it all, but I’m barely keeping steady.

So many highs and lows, I’m lost, tired,

I don’t know how much more I can take, but I’m still progressing.


I had enough honey, and enough lemons,

Tried to smile through it all, but I’m barely keeping steady.

So many highs and lows, I’m lost, tired,

I don’t know how much more I can take, but I’m still progressing.
