Lyrics
Our time is out
We're way too late to reconcile
Heavy mental load but
They count on me everyday
I'm all they got
They're all I got
Left them behind
Never a thought except for your own
Selfish distractions
I guess your mirror's still broken
I'm all they got
They're all I got
You promised them the moon but you're walking away
They're all heart and soul still you're walking away
Away
Away
You keep feeding them a bunch of lies they vomit
They rely on promises you just cannot commit
How will you feel, five years from now
When they're old enough to disavow
I don't even get how you manage
To create those tears and walk away
A mix of pills and martinis
Won't make them fall for one of your tricks
You promised them the moon but you're walking away
They're all heart and soul still you're walking away
Away
Away
Teach them right and wrong, would say Atticus Finch,
Be there for the holiday, don't play the Grinch
When they need you to be Marlon Brando
Swim in no brandy but five oceans like Marlin finds Nemo
You'll discover a world full of dreams and laughs
Where stories on Mars rhyme with giraffes
The door is still open despite the bitterness
Our spaceship is ready to take you on with us
You promised them the moon but you're walking away
They're all heart and soul still you're walking away
Away
Away
You run out of time
Don't expect me to reconcile
I'm all they got
They're all I got
You think the problem's passed
You hear great stories about great dads, yet
One in five separated dads barely sees their kids
Or not at all
How many troubled kids does that create?
High school dropouts
Youth in prison
Runaway children
Most of them have absent fathers
And mothers would have better physical health
And better mental health
Mothers, would have a normal life
If you would only share the load
If you would only share the fucking load!
You promised them the moon but you're walking away
They're all heart and soul still you're walking away
Away
Away
