this is the song i've been singing my whole life

i've been waiting like a knife

to cut open your heart

and bleed my soul to you

i did it all for you

you and you and you and you



this is the sound i've been making my whole life

i've been waiting for this night

to clear up all the talk

although i'm selfish to a fault

is it selfish, it's you i want

you, i did it all for you



this love will stand as long as you

there's really no excuse

i did it all for you



these are the tears i've been crying my whole life

like an ocean of desire

i'm reaching through the noise

across the dusk of time

within the lilting lights

i am singing out to you
