For the Love
Blue October Lyrics

Come here babe why are you crying?
I ask why you are crying, hoping for open communication.

Because I want to stay with you
You are crying because you want to stay with me.

Your mommy loves you very much
But you are feeling overwhelmed and need to hear that your mother loves you.

Communication, I wait to see if we could ever get together
I want to communicate with you like we used to, but I'm not sure it's possible.

And talk like we used to
I want to have open and honest conversations with you again.

We get together and we talk like we used to
When we do talk, it feels like old times.

But you don't want to, you want a separation
However, you seem to want to separate and distance yourself from me instead of working things out.

And now that's strike three
Our relationship has already been through several difficult moments, and this is just making it worse.

I try everything, I work so hard for you
I put in effort and sacrifice a lot for the sake of our relationship.

To constantly hear how I fail and abandon you
But it feels like you only see my failures and don't appreciate my efforts to stay with you.

I put my heart in a dream
I have a strong passion that drives me.

And now that dream it makes sure the baby
And that passion is now what supports us, ensuring our child's well-being.

She has food to eat and your fancy house gets paid for, you hear me?
The benefits of my hard work and passion are tangible, and it provides for our family.

You never learned one thing, no you never believed in me
Despite everything I do, it feels like you never truly trusted or believed in me.

So if you're gonna leave get out
If you really want to leave, then go.

Just remember this is what I'm all about
But remember that my passion and drive are what define me.

I do it for the love
Everything I do is fueled by love.

I do it for the rain
I endure the struggles and hardships for the sake of something beautiful.

I do it for the passion
My passion drives everything I do.

I do it for the pain
Even the pain is worth enduring when driven by my passion and love.

I do it for the rush
The adrenaline and excitement is also a part of what drives me.

I do it for the doubt
Even the uncertainty and doubt surrounding my passion is worth it when driven by love.

I do it for my daughter
My child is a huge part of what drives me to succeed and endure.

Man, 'cause she's what I'm about
My child is my entire world, and everything I do revolves around her.

I do it for my mom
My mother is also a key part of what drives me to succeed.

I do it for my dad
And my father as well.

Do it for my sanity, it's hanging from a thread
My passion also helps to keep me sane in a world that can be incredibly difficult.

I do it for the audience who understands the need
My passion also resonates with others who feel the same way, and helps me connect with them.

Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed
And when I perform, I give it my all and let everything come out.

I missed the tour where you told me not to come home again
I was so focused on my passion that I missed something important - your warning that I wasn't welcome back home.

An ex-boyfriend was taking my place at our first Lamaze (You've gotta be kidding me)
To make matters worse, I was replaced by an ex during a very important moment in our family's lives.

How hard that was because 'cause your voice so crooked and wrong
The pain of that moment was made worse by how you dealt with it - your voice shaky and uncertain.

You would bury your intentions like, Motherfucking nuclear bomb (nuclear bomb)
Your true intentions were always hidden, and when they came out it would feel like everything exploded.

I lived in a hotel room 'til the day she was born
I sacrificed for the family by staying in a hotel room before our child was born.

And I never knew what it was to say that could get us through our first chance at divorce
I never quite knew what to say to prevent our first chance at divorce.

You promised change and I believed
But you promised things would get better, and I believed you.

I walked right back into the same
But things remained the same and nothing truly changed.

So if you're gonna leave me, go away
If you really want to leave me, then just go.

I do it for my brother
My brother is also important to me and drives me to succeed.

I do it for his wife
And his wife as well.

I do it for my manager, cause god he saved my life
My manager is someone who helped me through a difficult time and drives me to succeed.

I do it for the confidence
My passion also helps me feel more confident in who I am and what I do.

I do it for release
My passion is also a way for me to release pent-up emotions and feelings.

I do it cause I'm sick of feeling sad, it's war and peace
Finally, my passion is also a way for me to fight against the sadness and strife in the world, like a war or peace.

I do it for the sunshine
I also do it for the moments of happiness and positivity in the world.

For my friends
And for the people who support me and are there for me, like my friends.

I do it for you, for you over and over and over again
I do it for the people who appreciate and support me, even if it doesn't always feel like it.

But you would never understand, so fuck it
However, it feels like you will never really understand what drives me, so I don't really care what you think.

Do it do it do it
I will continue to do it, regardless of what anyone else thinks.

So pack it up, pack it in, write it up write it down
I will continue to pursue my passion and share it with others, no matter what.

Just remember that I told you, it's what I'm all about
And I want everyone to remember that everything I do is driven by my passion and love for what I do.
