For You

At some point in time
she passed the point of no return;
didn't even notice
when she crossed the line
but she knew that everything felt fine;
everything felt right
like it had never felt before
and when she saw him standing at the door
she let down her guard and let him in
and whispered soft to him —

I would not die for you
I ain't no drama queen,
and I don't buy into that cliché — 
but I would live for you
every minute, every day
with every breath I take

and I would not die without you
life would keep on keepin’ on 
but all my colours would turn grey
I'd be just an empty shell,
the me inside would fade away,
and I'd be sleeping 
even though I'd be awake —

without you 

Now she looks back on younger days,
seems it's always been this way
and there's not a thing that she would change
all the laughter, all the tears,
and even all her fears
have only made her stronger
and when she sees him standing at the door
she opens her arms and lets him in
and whispers soft to him —

I would not die for you
You know I ain't no drama queen;
I don't buy into that cliché — 
but I will live for you
every minute, every day
with every breath I take

and I would not die without you
life would keep on keepin’ on 
but all my colours would turn grey
I'd be just an empty shell,
the me inside would fade away,
and I'd be sleeping 
even though I'd be awake —

without you 

I would not die for you
but I would live for you
every minute, every day
with every breath I take — 

would not die for you
but I'll live every single day
with every single breath I take —

for you

and I would not die without you
but all my colours would turn grey
the me inside would fade away,
and I'd be sleeping 
even though I'd be awake —

without you

without you

No I would not die for you
but I will live for you
every minute, 
every day
with every 
breath 
I 
take


For you
