Everything I Do I Do For You

the tears i shed

i shed for you

the words i scream

i'll scream for you

the things that i do

i do only for you

the only reason i haven't given up yet

is that i'm living for you.

you still cry for the love

that you once had and lost

some'd say you're paying the price

but should it cost this much?

the way you use to smile

compared to today

is like comparing sunshine

to a flashight's rays.

the tears that i shed

i shed for you

the word that i scream

i'll scream them for you.

the things that i do

i only do them for you.

the only reason i haven't given up yet

is because i'm living for you.

your love's showing no remorse

though you said it's all right.

i want to help you so badly.

please, don't reach for that knife.

we're like so many songs

your life more then mine

i would write one for you.

if only i'd take the time.

and does he feel better now?

i wonder and frown.

as you're falling face down.

as you fall to the ground.

the tears i shed

i shed for you.

the words that i scream

i'll scream them for you.

the things that i do

i only do for you.

the only reason i haven't given up yet

is because i'm living for you.

we all know life if tough.

and it's horrible, that's true.

but if you tough it out for me

i'll keep toughin' it out for you.

and the way that you use to smile...

compared to your smile today...

is like comparing a deathglare...

to a child's innocent gaze...
