Blue October - The Money Tree lyrics

rate me

I'm standing on an open world

I've got to try so hard for myself

Now including the ones that I love

I call my family

It's not hard when your focus is a beautiful girl

A brand new baby. She's a baby girl

And yeah, she's a cutie like her mommy

Uh, yes, yeah, she looks like her mommy

We both know who we are

And I'm not changing a thing I've never changed before

If loving me is work, I'm not a job to take

I think we're heading for the crazy making heartbreak

I'm wondering why I'm sitting here alone again

Why you always crush me

Why it's never easy

Easy, easy, easy. It's not easy

This is you. This is me

You won't be a part of what we need to be

Not for me. For the future of us three

For our daughter, college, family

Sudden health emergencies

You think it's easy picking money off my money tree?

With two houses, both cars

I paid off your fucking credit card debt

Did you already forget?

You threat and threat and threat

Just fucking leave. Find a man who will put up with you

We both know who we are

And I'm not changing a thing I've never changed before

If loving me is work, I'm not a job to take

I think we're heading for the crazy making heartbreak

I can't help but think of how great you are with the baby daughter

Half the time a single mother

When I go away, it is so that you can always stay home

And raise your baby girl. Bring her up the right way

You never take it that way

We both know who we are

And I'm not changing

I need support, not a slap in the face

You have to trust me or I'm sure it'll blow up in your face

I'm in love with such an angel and she doesn't even know

We've torn each other down in ways we don't even know

We both know who we are

And I'm not changing a thing I've never changed before

If loving me is work, I'm not a job to take

I think we're heading for the crazy making heartbreak

I can't help but think of how good you are with the baby daughter

Half the time a single mother

When I go away, it is so you can always stay home

And raise your baby girl. Bring her up the right way

I must be the one who has his daughter's future at heart

As you're the one who never wants a family apart

We both know that together we can only believe

That if we cut the shit, there'd be no reason to leave
