Title : For You
-----------------
Princess cards she sends me, with her regards
oh bar room eyes shine vacancy
to see her you gotta look hard
wounded deep in battle,
I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
to her cheshire smile, I stand on file
she's all I ever wanted
You let your blue walls stand in the way of these facts, honey
get your carpetbaggers off my back
girl give me time to cover my tracks
she said "here's your mirror and your ball and jacks"
but they're not what I came for
oh I came for so much more
and I know you know that too
and I know you know that's true
(I came for you)
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you, for you, I came for you
Crawl into my ambulance,
your pulse is getting weak
reveal yourself all to me now,
while you got the strength to speak
cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue
with their oxygen masks,
but I could give it all to you now,
if only you could ask
don't call for your surgeon,
even he says it's late,
it's not your lungs this time
but your heart holds your fate
don't give me my money back,
don't want it anymore
it's not that nursery mouth I came back for
it's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
I've broken all your windows
and I've rammed through all your doors
who am I to ask you to fight my wars
and you should know that's true
(I came for you)
you should know that too
(I came for you)
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you, for you, I came for you
Don't call for your surgeon,
even he says it's late,
it's not your lungs this time
but your heart holds your fate
don't give me my money back,
don't want it anymore
it's not that nursery mouth I came back for
it's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
I've broken all your windows
and I've rammed through all your doors
who am I to ask you to fight my wars
and you should know that's true
(I came for you)
you should know that too
(I came for you)
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you, for you, I came for you
(fading out)
I came for you
I came for you
