Who I Do It For

Waking up at 5 a.m.

After being up all night again

Kissing on their foreheads while they sleep

Sneaking past floorboards that creak

I slowly close the door that squeaks

To leave the one place I don't wanna leave

I hope they know

Who I do it for

First words I didn't hear

Regrets I can't make disappear

Goodnight phone calls, whisper in the dark

There's no way I can't explain

The reasons that I just can't stay

I never thought this life would be this hard

So tonight, I pray

Someday they'll understand

That all this time away

I'm doin' all I can to give them everything

Everything I never had and more

I hope they know

They're who I do it for

The backyard grass beneath their feet

A safe place they can fall asleep

And never have to worry what it costs

Yeah, and it's my job to provide for them

To build a better life for them

But I know it's hard to see that when I'm gone

So tonight, I pray

Someday they'll understand

That all this time away

I'm doin' all I can to give them everything

Everything I never had and more

I hope they know

They're who I do it for

They're who I do it for

So tonight, I pray

One day they'll understand

That all this time away

I'm doin' all I can to give them everything (to give them everything)

Everything I never had and more (I never had before)

I hope they know

They're who I do it for

Who I do it

Who I do it

Who I do it for

Who I do it for

Who I do it

Who I do it

Who I do it for
