I Won't Die for You
by Stephen Duffy, 1999, Cooking Vinyl
found on the Lilac Time album "Looking for a Day in the Night"

I was still up
when the sun rose,
it was too late then to rest.
So I packed up
my belongings,
and I took a bus out west.

Last night
there were fireworks,
like you'd always hoped there'd be.
Now they're burnt out
in the garden,
and they don't look so pretty.

But if you're looking for a friend,
look no further here I am.
I won't die for you,
like I can't live for you.
I'll be there for you...
if you want me.

No one's
ready for hardship,
no one tells you
it gets rough.
One day
you're perfection,
then you're just not good enough.
I can't say
there's an answer,
but the questions aren't that hard.
If you don't know
what you're after
then that might be
your reward.

But if you're looking for a friend,
look no further here I am.
I won't die for you,
like I can't live for you.
I'll be here with you...
if you want me.

A kiss from your lips,
eclipses each kiss,
and makes abstinence a crime.
Don't leave me playing
in the rain,
a child again.

But if you're looking for a friend,
look no further here I am.
I won't die for you,
like I can't live for you.
I'll be here with you...
if you want me.
