For the Sake of You
I’ve done everything you ask
But it’s never good enough
You just keep wanting more
And it makes it so rough
I can’t think of anything else
I’ve done all I possibly can
You still lack the faith
You still don’t act like a man
It’s always something more
Every time I turn around
Nothing can ever suffice
So you run me in the ground
I’m tired of never gaining
This is the last time I do
Anything with my heart
Just for the sake of you
You will never have faith
Then things will only fall apart
Again I won’t win anything
But a lonely broken heart
Sometimes I wonder why I tried
Why I never walked away
To escape the pain and tears
I put myself through day to day
I can no longer give to you
Everything you ever ask
Look inside to find some truth
If you ever want this to last
