They Do - Makayla Brownlee

Tied down against the tracks Screaming in silent black and white Why'd you trust us we are such villains We would tell ourselves anything We want to hear if we are willing To listen is to learn Then too much is what we deserve And how come when we say that we do We don't Pray to anybody you want We won't Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh But if we're the ones to blame then the fruit Shouldn't taste so good we were used Used to thinking we got nothing to lose We're losing everything but the truth Is walking straight into a roadblock ending left here bending Your point of view was chosen by the serpent's ruse With all its do's and don'ts The future is an empty promise Unconcerned and so tired of waiting We could sell it wooden horses Full of nightmares and when they open This all might recompose There's no going back to the good old days It's just a phase bring in some new life Archaism is a dusty road leading us back to nowhere But if we're the ones to blame then the fruit Shouldn't taste so good we were used Used to thinking we got nothing to lose We're losing everything but the truth Is walking straight into a roadblock ending left here bending Your point of view was chosen by the serpent's ruse How come when we say we do We don't How come when we say we will We won't

In the early rush of morning Trying to get the kids to school One's hanging on my shirttail Another's locked up in her room And I'm yelling up the stairs Stop worrying about your hair You look fine Then they're fighting in the backseat And I'm playing referee Now someone's gotta go The moment that we leave And everybody's late I swear that I can't wait Till they grow up Then they do And that's how it is It's just quiet in the morning Can't believe how much you miss All they do And all they did You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true Then they do Now the youngest is starting college She'll be leaving in the fall And Brianna's latest boyfriend Called to ask if we could talk And I got the impression That he's about to pop the question Any day I look over at their pictures Sitting in their frames I see them as babies I guess that'll never change You pray all their lives That some day they will find happiness Then they do And that's how it is It's just quiet in the morning Can't believe how much you miss All they do And all they did You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true Then they do No more Monday PTAs No carpools or soccer games Your work is done Now you've got time that's all your own You've been waiting for so long For those days to come Then they do And that's how it is It's just quiet in the morning Can't believe how much you miss All they do And all they did You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true Then they do Oh, then they do

I still go back to those early days in We were unbreakable, we were unshakeable I met you on South Street dancin' in the bar Ended up outside back at my car You were unforgettable You were everything that I could ever look for I was lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely no more Thank God for the red wine and the moon light Every time I held your body all night That fire too damn hot to keep from burnin' Thank God for the good love that we had & It's a damn shame that it never lasted Now that you're gone and I'm alone here hurtin' Thank God for the bourbon We can fight harder than the best of 'em But could make it better, so much better than the rest of 'em So how'd we let it crash and burn too soon? But I still wouldn't take away the love I made with you Thank God for the red wine and the moon light Every time I held your body all night That fire too damn hot to keep from burnin' Thank God for the good love that we had & It's a damn shame that it never lasted Now that you're gone and I'm alone here hurtin' Thank God for the bourbon Oh, thank God for the bourbon To let me make a toast What I can't let go To love that's like a ghost That'll haunt me forever And thank God for the bourbon Yeah, thank God for the bourbon Thank God for the red wine and the moon light Every time I held your body all night That fire too damn hot to keep from burnin' Thank God for the good love that we had & It's a damn shame that it never lasted Now that you're gone and I'm alone here hurtin' Thank God for the bourbon Yeah, thank God for the bourbon Thank God for the bourbon Thank God for the bourbon Thank God for the bourbon
