[Verse 1: Brett Young]
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
[Verse 2: Lady A]
First words I didn't hear
Regrets I can't make dissapear
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
[Chorus: Brett Young & Lady A]
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
[Verse 3: Both & Lady A]
The backyard grass beneath their feet
A safe place they can fall asleep
They'll 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
[Chorus: Brett Young & Lady A]
Oh, 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
Who I do it for
[Chorus: Brett Young, Brett Young & Lady A]
So tonight, I pray
One day 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
[Post-Chorus: Lady A, Brett Young]
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
