Live For You

(Verse)

I guess I knew someday this day would come

But I didn’t think it would be this soon, I didn’t think it would be this hard

And as I search for some way to carry on

And somehow keep your soul alive, somehow keep you in my heart

But I know you’ll never breathe again, so can I breathe for you?

And I know you’ll never see again, so can I see for you?

And I know you’ll never live

(Chorus)

And what if I live for you

Every time I open my eyes

So we’ll never have to say goodbye

And I’ll live for you

Every time I go outside

So I’ll keep your memory alive

(Verse)

It seems so strange but as I struggle through each day

I find myself saying things you’d say, I find myself doing the little things like you

And I don’t know if it’s always been this way

But I know that it’s your soul inside, I know now what I’m meant to do

Cause although you’ll never laugh again, so I’ll laugh for you

And although you’ll never cry again, so I’ll cry for you

And although you’ll never live

(Chorus)

Now that I have young ones of my own   I’ll try to be a rock for them

But the rock isn’t me, it’s really the you in me

Though I know I’ll never be as good as you

All I can hope is that someday they’ll stand up and say

(Chorus)

And they’ll say that I lived for you, Every time I opened my eyes

So I’d never have to say goodbye

And I’ll live for you, Every time I open my eyes

So we’ll never have to say goodbye
