Song Lyrics

Hm
Hm

Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to days
Knew what I had to do
Couldn't find the words to say
We had the perfect story
Stories have an end
Had to turn the page
Cause to keep you was a sin, oh

You know I loved you with everything that I had
But what you needed I couldn't be
I cared enough about you to give you the chance
To find someone who can

I broke your heart
(I did it for you)
Tore us apart
(I did it for you)
Just walked away
(I did it for you)
Oh for you
You wanted more than my everything
(did it for you)
Someone u knew that I couldn't be
(did it for you)
Why don't you ever understand me
But its true, its true
I did it for you
For you

I could say I'm sorry
Wouldn't mean a thing
Tell you what you wanna hear
Baby what you wanted wasn't for me
Held you by a string
Had to cut you loose
Cause forever's something we cant be

You know I loved you with everything that I had
But what you needed I couldn't be
I cared enough about you to give you the chance
To find someone who can

I broke your heart
(I did it for you)
Tore us apart
(I did it for you)
Just walked away
(I did it for you)
Oh for you
You wanted more than my everything
(did it for you)
Someone you knew that I couldn't be
(did it for you)
Why don't you ever understand me
But its true, its true
I did it for you

They say the ones that you love
Are the ones that you're hurting but
For all the pain that I've caused ya
Baby I'm sorry

I did it for you
(I did it for you)
Tore us apart
I'm so sorry babe
(did it for you)
Just walked away
(I did it for you)
For you
You wanted more than my everything (everything)
(did it for you)
Someone you knew that I couldn't be
(did it for you)
Why don't you ever understand me
But its true, its true
I did it for you
Hm hm
