Eden Prairie - I'll Explain Everything to the Kids Lyrics

I wrote a little letter and left it by your bed
Looked to the skies and the August moon shone red
This is for the best but it's gonna be hard for the kids
Breaking up a family is always hardest on the kids

Thank God the baby's too young to understand
But the boy's growing up and soon he'll be a man
I'm gonna teach him how to treat his girls
And how true love is the rarest of pearls

I love you baby, I love you to bits
But you broke some things that can never be fixed
As God is my witness I'll promise you this
I'll explain everything to the kids

I found your bags, you planned on traveling light
Taking the kids, disappearing into the night
Did you really think I'd do anything to hurt them?
Did you really question the love that I have for my children?

I won't abide by no judge's gavel
Take my case to God and His all male panel
As I live and breathe I promise you this
I'll explain everything to the kids

Took mercy with the dose so there should be no pain
I wrote a little letter and signed it in your name
Your lungs go first so there should be no screams
The kids won't hear a thing, I'll see you in my dreams

I love you baby, I love you to death
Remember our love as you draw your last breath
As I live and breathe I'll promise you this
I'll explain everything to the

Once the baby can understand
And the boy becomes a man
I'll explain the ways of the world

And how that true love is the rarest of all pearls
