For The Love

Communication,

I wait to see if we could ever get together

And talk like we used to

We get together and we'd 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

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 sh*t

And let it bleed



So pack it up, pack it in

Write it up, write it down

Just remember that I told you

It's what I'm all about



I'll miss the tour where you told me

"Not to come home again"

An ex-boyfriend was taking my place

At our first Lamaze

How hard that was because

Your voice so crooked and wrong

You were proud of your intentions like a motherf*ckin' nuclear bomb



So I lived in a hotel room

Till 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,

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 sh*t

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 being sad

It's for the 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'll never understand

(So f*ck it)



So pack it up, pack it in

Write it up, write it down

Just remember that I told you

It's what I'm all about



Get out, get outta my life,



I do it for the love, for the love,

For my daughter, for my daughter

For the love, for my daughter
