For the Kids

You wake up and your eggs are fried

Coffee pot's always full

You are looking right through her

She takes the nippers to play school

Going round in circles

Though you promised you'd change soon

When will you tell the kids that you don't sleep in the same room?

But she will hold onto your heart

Hold onto your heart

She's tryin' hard but you don't see

Her tears in the night when she don't sleep

Recallin' when you used to be fancy

But not this time

It's late when you get home and you're drunk

But somehow it looks like you're not here

"Do you have a lover?"

But with the TV you hear nothing

Drawing lines off her bucket list

She won't give up, she does it for the kids

Ouh, baby

But she will hold onto your heart

Hold onto your heart

She's tryin' hard but you don't see

Her tears in the night when she don't sleep

Recallin' when you used to be fancy

But not this time

Round and around

Round and around

Round and around

Round and around

Round and around

Round and around

Round and around

But she will hold onto your heart

Hold onto your heart

She's tryin' hard but you don't see

Her tears in the night when she don't sleep

Recallin' when you used to be fancy

You were wrong all this bloody time

Yeah, yeah

But not this time
