Living for
Who am i living for?
for you who wished me gone
You who beat me up
punished for what I've done
You who never cared
who wished I wasn't born
even if the skin healed up
young memories stay torn
Who am I living for?
for you who stabbed me in the back
So much for being a friend
when you jumped into the sack
Now you go around and say
go live your life without regret
for you it's so much easier
there's no betrayal to forget
Who am I living for?
for you who say but never do
Each piece I gave of me
never meant that much to you
Knew what I got myself into
you for who I'll always yearn
You're just another lesson
one I never seem to learn
Who am I living for?
for you who go nowhere
Some hopes will stay a lost cause
can't fix dreams beyond repair
Why look for a hand on my side
if it was never meant to be
So that's who I'm living for
It was never for you, but for me
for you who wished me gone
You who beat me up
punished for what I've done
You who never cared
who wished I wasn't born
even if the skin healed up
young memories stay torn
Who am I living for?
for you who stabbed me in the back
So much for being a friend
when you jumped into the sack
Now you go around and say
go live your life without regret
for you it's so much easier
there's no betrayal to forget
Who am I living for?
for you who say but never do
Each piece I gave of me
never meant that much to you
Knew what I got myself into
you for who I'll always yearn
You're just another lesson
one I never seem to learn
Who am I living for?
for you who go nowhere
Some hopes will stay a lost cause
can't fix dreams beyond repair
Why look for a hand on my side
if it was never meant to be
So that's who I'm living for
It was never for you, but for me
