For The Kids

(albüm: Tornillo - 2022)

There's a light
It's burning in your eyes tonight
You're doing more
Than Killing time
Did our dreams
Simply burn out like kerosene
Chasing the ghosts from another life
I know you're gonna go away
Before you do I got something to say

If we could stay together for the kids and a few more years
They might not end up like we did
Love has a way of losing its shine over time
You were young and so was I
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy

There's a voice of a little girl and a little boy
Is your freedom, worth the price?
There's nothing left to say
The heart tends to only want what causes it to break
And we both know, this ain't right
So think about them before you go
Cause I can't do this on my own

If we could stay together for the kids and a few more years
They might not end up like we did
Love has a way of losing its shine over time
You were young and so was I
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
If we could stay together for the kids and a few more years
They might not end up like we did
I know love has a way of losing its shine over time
You were young and so was I
If we could stay together for the kids it'll be enough
This ain't about love
It ain't about us

We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
Darling won't you come back home
