"Just For You"

Golden days
Night was play
Pain was all a world away
We went to school
We learned the rules
We trusted all they had to say

“All that time you thought life would turn out the way you wanted it to.  You had a wife and two children, a good paying job but one day it all fell apart.  She came to use you and hate you and everyone knew you were doomed.  It was only a matter of time before she left and your life was trashed.”

Then life took a turn
We all had to learn
And we cant go back again

And my heart is breaking
Just for you
Just for you
And my arms are open
Just for you
Just for you
Just for you

“It hurt me more to see you in such pain than it hurt you.  I’m here now.  I’ll take away your heart ache.  I know she treated you treacherously but I never will.  You may never love me the way you do her but I’ll still offer you my arms and my heart.”

God was God
And dreams were dreams
Life was all pecan ice cream
Truth was true
And lies were lies
And we thought love would never die
But the world moved on
My illusions gone
And I don't know who to blame

“All the things you thought you could count on let you down.  You felt so much confusion over the hand life had dealt you and it became impossible to tell the truth from the lies.”

And my heart is breaking
Just for you
Just for you
And my arms are open
Just for you
Just for you
And these tears I'm crying are for you
Just for you
Just for you

“I know I should protect my own heart from what you could do to it but I don’t possess the will or the effort to keep from loving you.  My friends and family had warned me and tried to keep me from this but the one man I could never have refused had stolen my heart.  You had no idea but all who knew me felt certain that if you ever did that you would let me love you but you would never be able to return the same love.  You wouldn’t try to use me but it would end up that way.”

I'm looking for protection
Give me shelter from the storm
I just hope this light inside me
Keeps me strong

And my heart is breaking
Just for you
Just for you
And my arms they're open
Just for you
Just for you
And these tears I'm crying are for you
Just for you
Just for you

Just for you
Oh my heart is breaking
And my arms are open
Oh these tears I'm crying are just for you

”Even though you never gave your heart a chance to love me in return I still gave it all up to you.  It was all just for you.”
