John Dartnell - The Kids Are Asleep Lyrics

I must get some sleep my eyes look so red
But there's so much to say as we lay on the bed
What happened to us love quietly died
I can't take anymore we're just living a lie

Who cares who's wrong who cares who's right
Let's keep the noise down I'll turn out the light
The kids are asleep as we battle it out
But one thing's for sure girl this flame just burnt out

The row starts again I just walk out the door
We're not making ground we're just making war
We both wanna talk but we don't wanna hear
So alone with my thoughts it still isn't clear

Who cares who's wrong who cares who's right
Let's keep the noise down I'll turn out the light
The kids are asleep as we battle it out
But one thing's for sure girl this flame just burnt out

We were building for life but now we've seen
The nest that we built turn into a cage
We're two different people now with two different dreams
Living together but we're light years apart

The kids are asleep as we battle it out
One thing's for sure girl this flame just burnt out

So you keep the house and I'm on my way
Time to throw in the towel and live for today
Weekends with the kids a day at the zoo
A life to rebuild an era that's through

Who cares who's wrong who cares who's right
We've finished the noise we've turned out the light
Do the kids stay asleep now there isn't the bout
But one thing was sure girl this flame just burnt out
