Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to days
Knew what I have to do
Couldn’t find the words to say
We had the perfect story
Stories have an end
Had to turn the page
Cause to keep you was a sin,
oh
You know I loved you with
everything that I had
But what you needed, I
couldn’t be, had you bad
I cared enough about you,
to give you the chance
To find someone who
cares
I 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 you
You wanted more than my
everything, I did it for you
Someone you knew I
couldn’t be, I did it for you
Why don’t you ever
understand me
But it’s true, it’s true
I did it for you, for you
I could say I’m sorry, wouldn’t
mean a thing
Tell you what you wanna hear
Baby, what you wanted
wasn’t from me
Held you by a string, had to
cut you loose
Cause forever is something
we can’t be
You know I loved you with
everything that I had
But what you needed, I
couldn’t be, had you bad
I cared enough about you,
to give you the chance
To find someone who
cares
I 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 you
You wanted more than my
everything, I did it for you
Someone you knew I
couldn’t be, I did it for you
Why don’t you ever
understand me
But it’s true, it’s true
I did it for you, for you
They say the ones that you love
Are the ones that you hurt the most
For all the pain that
I’ve caused you
Baby, I’m sorry
I did it for you
I did it for you
Tore us apart
I’m so sorry babe
I did it for you
Just walked away
I did it for you
For You
You wanted more than my
everything, everything
I did it for you
Someone you knew I couldn’t
be, I did it for you
Why don’t you ever
understand me
But it’s true, it’s true
I did it for you
