had a wife, had a kid, then another one
and everybody knows, they can tell something's up
no way i'm getting out and it doesn't cut
buddy tried to talk me down and i shut him up
you can't turn it off, can't turn it on
can't help who you want, how you get along
i respond to the song inside
i've been lying too long
and i'm gone
tried to dream i freed you
but i know it's see-through
i could never need you
and you can never live
look how far we dragged this
everything is madness
and my deceit and absence
are all that i can give
i really did it for love
started with excitement
just like you and i did
but we had to hide it
and i let it take hold
we can talk and listen
but there's no right decision
fairness was forbidden
when i went out in the cold
so i'm making like a tree, uprooted, burned down
chopped and screwed up, everything you've heard now
i've had young love, i've had a few loves
but if it's new love, can't it still be true love
answerless, if you're taking it there
because i can't resist, the romance is bliss
all in the way that she stares, and maybe plays with her hair
chose to dance with this state of affairs
and i'm sorry
i really did it for love
can you feel it end
when she turns away again
can you hear the truth
though it claws and tears at you
i really did it for love
can you feel it end
when she turns away again
can you hear the truth
it claws and tears at you
