Blue October - For The Love

(Come here... babe why are you crying?
 Because I want to stay with you
 Your mommy loves you very much)

 Communication,
 I wait to see if we could ever get together and talk like we used to
 We get together and we talk like we used to
 But you don't want to
 You want a separation
 And now that's strike three
 I tried everything, I work so hard for you
 To constantly hear how I fail and abandon you
 I put my heart in a dream
 And now that dream it makes sure the baby - she has food to eat-and your fancy house gets paid for you hear me?
 You never learned one thing, no, you never believed in me...
 So if you're gonna leave-get out - just remember this is what I'm all about;

 I do it for the love,
 I do it for the rain,
 I do it for the passion,
 I do it for the pain
 I do it for the rush,
 I do it for the doubt...
 I do it for my daughter, man, 'cause she's what I'm about
 I do it for my mom,
 I do it for my dad
 Do it for my sanity, it's hanging from a thread
 I do it for the audience who understands the need
 Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed

 So pack it up, pack it in
 Write it up, write it down
 Just remember I've told you it's what I'm all about
 Wait wait wait...

 I missed the tour where you told me not to come home again
 An ex-boyfriend was taking my place at our first Lamaze
 (You've gotta be kidding me)
 How hard that was because 'cause your voice so crooked and wrong,
 You bury your intentions like motherfucking nuclear bomb (nuclear bomb!)
 I lived in a hotel room 'til the day she was born
 And I never knew what words to say
 That could get us through our first chance at divorce
 You promised change and I believed
 I walked right back into the same
 So if you're gonna leave me ‒ go away

 I do it for the love
 I do it for the rain
 I do it for the passion,
 I do it for the pain
 I do it for the rush,
 I do it for the doubt
 I do it for my daughter, man, 'cause she's what I'm about
 I do it for my mom,
 I do it for my dad,
 I do it for my sanity hanging from a thread
 I do it for the audience who understands the need
 Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed

 I do it for my brother,
 I do it for his wife
 I do it for my manager, 'cause god he saved my life
 I do it for the confidence
 I do it for release
 I do it 'cause I'm sick of feeling sadness full of peace
 I do it for the sunshine
 For my friends
 I did it for you, for you over and over and over again
 But you would never understand
 So fuck it!
 So pack it up, pack it in, write it up, write it down,
 Just remember I've told you it's what I'm all about
 (Get out! go away!)

 I do it for the love,
 I do it for the rain,
 I do it for the passion,
 I do it for the pain
 I do it for the rush,
 I do it for the doubt...
 I do it for my daughter, man, 'cause she's what I'm about
 I do it for my mom,
 I do it for my dad
 I do it for my sanity, it's hanging from a thread
 I do it for the audience who understands the need
 Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed

 I do it for the love
 For the love
 Do it for the love for the love
 I do it for the love
 Do it do it do it
 For the love
 For my daughter
 So pack it up
 Pack it in
 Write it up write it down
 Just remember I've told you it's what I'm all about.
