lyrics

This songs for you

V1:
It’s 5:03 and the alarm is cutting through my head
Like the things you always wanted
Like the things I never said
And now it’s time for me to learn
How to stand up for myself
Cuz our lives are not so neatly packed
And placed up on a shelf
So you’re strong enough to live alone
And you don’t need anyone
And you said it’d never happen
But I put you in a song
Ch2
Every song has a you
A person that we sing to
You’re it this time
Baby this song’s for you
And I know you wont believe me,
So, I’ll prove it to you
Cuz you’re it this time
Baby this song’s for you
V2:
I’ve watched you be so beautiful
As you due dates came near
And I’ve seen you hard and cold as ice
Probably caused you many tears
And you’ve seen me at my worst
Drunk and falling through the closet
So scared you had to call your mom
Well I’m sorry that I lost it,
But the weight is hard to shoulder
When you let down everyone
And I guess that’s why the last few years
I haven’t been much fun
Ch2:
V3:
How can I expect to write a 15-year song
But If you’d paid attention,
I’ve been writing all along
On the notes that said I Love You
I would leave them on the table
All the times I chose to be at home
And we’d go out if we’re able
Now I still have my music
To help me make it through
And I hope that someone better
Is out there for you
Ch3:
Every song has a you
A person that we sing to
Well you’re it this time
Baby this song’s for you
And You’ll try not to believe me
But I think you’ll know the truth
Cuz you’re it this time
Baby this song’s for you
