For Your Sake 歌词

Nearing one in the morning, nearing one, The streetlights were smoking, the streetlights were smoking like a gun In your eyes was a warning, in your eyes In your step was a splinter And every word was tinder for your fire Beneath your skin was the bloodrush, beneath your skin It would sell you in the moment, It would sell you for the cheapest bid, You thought you could take heaven, You thought you could take heaven with a gun, But the loving hand strikes the hardest, The loving hand strikes the hardest soul And I know you just like a novel penned by my own hand I will give and give, until its time to take It was for your sake, it was for your sake I will give and give, until its time to take It was for your sake, it was for your sake Cause to save your life, your heart must break Sometime just after daybreak, when the light had come You found your home was a museum, A memoir to the things you used to love, You're the center of attention, The center of attention in an empty room, All you wanted was a rescue, All you needed was an open tomb. It was for your sake, It was for your sake. It's a give and take, It's a give and take.
