Walking Away

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
