Whiskey Myers - For the Kids Lyrics

There's a light
It's burning in your eyes tonight
You're doing more than Killing time
Did our dreams
Simply burn 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
And 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
And it ain't about us

And 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

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
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
