For You

[Verse 1]
I stopped the bottle, held back the night,
Kept the shadows from stealing the light.
Every scar I hid, every silent fight,
I did it all for you, though you’re out of sight.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’d hold a grenade, take the fall,
Wear the blame, break my own walls.
But you don’t see, no, you don’t know,
How deep this river’s run below.

[Chorus]
I would give up everything, for you—
All my battles, all I couldn’t do.
I made myself the villain just to keep you holy,
But it feels like I’m alone, in this story.
I’m healing now, but you don’t see,
Still haunted by what you meant to me.
For you, I’d walk through fire and rain,
But you’re gone, and it’s driving me insane.

[Verse 2]
Stopped letting go, stopped the pain,
Fought my demons, broke the chain.
Therapy’s light in the pouring rain,
Still I’m healing for you, through the ache and strain.

[Bridge]
Maybe someday you’ll understand,
The weight of the heart, the shaking hand.
But I don’t wait, I don’t depend,
This is my fight, my soul to mend.

[Chorus]
I would give up everything, for you—
All my battles, all I couldn’t do.
I made myself the villain just to keep you holy,
But it feels like I’m alone, in this story.
I’m healing now, but you don’t see,
Still haunted by what you meant to me.
For you, I’d walk through fire and rain,
But you’re gone, and it’s driving me insane.

[Outro]
For you, I carried all this pain,
But now I’m learning to live again.
For you, I’d give the world, it’s true—
But now I’m finally letting go of you.
