Lyrics Lori McKenna

Lori McKenna

For You

You said you were leaving

And it's time for you to go

You tell me to just move on

I don't understand

You're saying it's over but I'm saying no

I never claimed to be brave or strong

But there was a time

When you loved me

Easy for you

You can hold your head up high

She's waiting somewhere across town

But what about me

Without you, who am I

Who am I without here to be your clown

I draw a breath and I cry

Because I was born

For you - my arms to hold you tight

To love you every night

Every night

For you - I could sail across the sky

Swim an ocean baby

I was born for you

You are so coy

Acting like you don't know the cost

The payment I made for your kiss

I was your penny

And baby I feel tossed

All the things that I gave up

All the things that I missed

I draw a breath and I cry

Because I was born

For you - my arms to hold you tight

To love you every night

Every night

For you - I could sail across the sky

Swim an ocean baby

I was born for you...

I was born for you...

Go play your games

Go off with someone else

Tell her the things that you told me

Just hope and pray that I find myself

And when you come running back

You won't find me waiting for you...

Will not, will not find me waiting....

For you - my arms won't hold you tight

I won't love you every night

Every night

For you - I won't sail across the sky

Swim an ocean

I will not cry for you...

I will not cry,

I will not cry for you...
