Somebody's Child - How Long? Lyrics

And we would go between them
Fighting along
It hurts us but we always
Stayed on the phone
And on those nights they were screaming
I'd cover both of your ears
And when I'd lie you'd believe me
And so would I out of fear
And oh how long?
And oh how long?
Can you feel something that ain't quite love
And oh how long?
And oh how long?
Do you believe that I am someone when I'm not
Living under the same roof
You pick your battles a week
And I wonder how long she'd stand ya
Cos you love her just for the peace
And we were all just unstable
No one knew how it was
But thanks to you I was able
To turn it into the cause
And oh how long?
And oh how long?
Can you feel something that ain't quite love
And oh how long?
And oh how long?
Do you believe that I am someone when I'm not
