all for you

once it was all for you
and you knew
oh you knew
how could you not be sure
everything i did
lead me to your door
every chance i’d get
i would run to you
and in your arms
my love was true
in your arms
my dreams came true
everything i did
the life i lived
it was all for you

now i smile when i heard your name
and though i’ve loved others in this life
nothing since has been the same
you should have been my wife

does that mean i am destined to
fail at love? that can’t be true
i live to love, am i destined to
fail at love when i’m not with you?

once it was all for you…

do i have to face a cold hard truth
have i sabotaged love in my youth
am i too much a perfectionist
that i won’t let go of what i missed

once it was all for you
and you knew
oh you knew
how could you not be sure
everything i did
lead me to your door
every chance i’d get
i would run to you
and in your arms
my love was true
in your arms
my dreams came true
everything i did
the life i lived
it was all for you

does that mean i am destined to
fail at love? that can’t be true
i live to love, it is what i do
my dream is to share love this true
in everything i do,
so it can’t be true
am i destined to
fail at love when i’m not with you?

no no no no, say that’s not so
i want to love again
i need to love again
i want to feel
this love so real
this everything
i want to sing
to someone
you or someone new

it is all for you
and you know
oh you know
how could you not be sure
everything i do
leads me to your door
every chance i get
i run to you
to be in your arms
where my love is true
in your arms
my dreams come true
everything i do
my whole life through
it is all for you
all for you

it is all for you
and you know
oh you know
how could you not be sure
everything i do
leads me to your door
every chance i get
i run to you
to be in your arms
where my love is true
in your arms
my dreams come true
everything i do
my whole life through
it is all for you
all for you
