Hm
HmMinutes turn to hours
Hours turn to days
Knew what I had to do
Couldn't find the words to say
Had the perfect story
Stories have an end
Had to turn the page cause
To keep you was a sin ohYou know I loved you with
(Everything that I had)
But what you needed I
{Couldn't be, held you back)
I cared enough about you
To give you the chance
To find someone who careI broke your heart
(I did it for you)
Tore us apart
(I did it for you)
Just walked away
(I did it for you) Oh
For youYou wouldn't want my everything
(did it for you)
Someone you knew that I couldn't be
(did it for you)
Why don't you ever understand me
But its true, its true
I did it for you, for youI could say I'm sorry
Wouldn't mean a thing
Tell you what you want to hear
Baby what you wanted wasn't for me
Held you by a string
Had to cut you loose
Cause forever something we can't beYou know I loved you with
(Everything that I had)
But what you needed I
{Couldn't be, held you back)
I cared enough about you
To give you the chance
To find someone who careI broke your heart
(I did it for you)
Tore us apart
(I did it for you)
Just walked away
(I did it for you) Oh
For youYou wouldn't want my everything
(did it for you)
Someone you knew that I couldn't be
(did it for you)
Why don't you ever understand me
But its true, its true
I did it for youThey say the ones that you love
Are the ones you hurt the most
For all the pain that I've caused you
Baby I'm sorryI did it for you~
(I did it for you)
Tore us apart
I'm so sorry babe
(did it for you)
Just walked away
I did it for you, for youYou wouldn't wanted my everything, everything
(did it for you)
Someone you knew that I couldn't be
(did it for you)
Why don't you ever understand me
But its true, its true
I did it for you, for youHm
