Give Us A Break

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We been up all night Wipin' down the floor Packin' lunches, lockin' doors One more thing, we might explode We love our people, yeah But we need a breath Got mascara on our shirt And a thank-you left unsaid [Pre-Chorus] We ain't askin' for the moon Just ten quiet minutes soon If you see us at the edge Baby, step back, let us breathe [Chorus] We’re mothers, we’re tired (tired) We’re tired of the fight (the fight) We’re tired of complainin' To each other all night (all night) Give us a fucking break Give us a fucking break We’re mothers, we’re tired (tired) Give us a fucking break [Verse 2] Dirty dishes in the sink Phone buzzin' like a swarm One kid lost a shoe again One kid thinks that’s a performance We can laugh, we can cope We can carry every chain But don’t make us trade our rest For another round of blame [Pre-Chorus] We ain't askin' for the moon Just ten quiet minutes soon If you see us at the edge Baby, step back, let us breathe [Chorus] We’re mothers, we’re tired (tired) We’re tired of the fight (the fight) We’re tired of complainin' To each other all night (all night) Give us a fucking break Give us a fucking break We’re mothers, we’re tired (tired) Give us a fucking break [Bridge] One deep breath One small win Let the good stuff in We hold this house up But even strong hearts bend [Final Chorus] We’re mothers, we’re tired (tired) We’re tired of the fight (the fight) We’re tired of complainin' To each other all night (all night) Give us a fucking break Give us a fucking break We’re mothers, we’re tired (tired) Give us a fucking break
