Only For The Children Lyrics

Give all that you have to give
When she has strained you
And bitterly blamed you
'Cause she's so unhappyGive, swallowing compromise
Though it won't matter
You'll soon near the chatter of her
Whining mouth, but youSomehow supply
All the demands that never seem to end
You try to withstand
All of her moods, her childish attitudesOnly for the children
I'll keep love alive
'Cause it's only for the children
My love survivesGive, though it means sacrifice
You feel temptation
But your imitation of hope
Must satisfy youGive, though it means you ignore
The lack of affection
And constant rejection bestown

Though it hurts youI swallow my pride, tossed it aside
Though deep inside of me
I feel like a liar
Living this lie knowing it has to beOnly for the children
I'll keep love alive
'Cause it's only for the children
Our love survivesOnly for the children
I'll keep love alive
'Cause it's only for the children
My love survivesOnly for the children
I'll keep love alive
'Cause it's only for the children
My love survivesOnly for the children
I'll keep love alive
'Cause it's only for the children
