Give all that you have to give
|
When she has strained you
|
And bitterly blamed you
|
'Cause she's so unhappy
|
|
Give, swallowing compromise
|
Though it won't matter
|
You'll soon near the chatter of her
|
Whining mouth, but you
|
|
Somehow supply
|
All the demands that never seem to end
|
You try to withstand
|
All of her moods, her childish attitudes
|
|
Only for the children
|
I'll keep love alive
|
'Cause it's only for the children
|
My love survives
|
|
Give, though it means sacrifice
|
You feel temptation
|
But your imitation of hope
|
Must satisfy you
|
|
Give, though it means you ignore
|
The lack of affection
|
And constant rejection bestown
|
Though it hurts you
|
|
I swallow my pride, tossed it aside
|
Though deep inside of me
|
I feel like a liar
|
Living this lie knowing it has to be
|
|
Only for the children
|
I'll keep love alive
|
'Cause it's only for the children
|
Our love survives
|
|
Only for the children
|
I'll keep love alive
|
'Cause it's only for the children
|
My love survives
|
|
Only for the children
|
I'll keep love alive
|
'Cause it's only for the children
|
My love survives
|
|
Only for the children
|
I'll keep love alive
|
'Cause it's only for the children
|
