I Did It For True Love Lyrics

I haven't drank in three weeks and my stomach's still turning from the night we spent on the beach

I had the same bad dream last night at the edge of the building and I feared you were just out of reach

I grabbed your hand as you were falling

We jumped aboard on the first boat departing, love

It's getting colder now

I think I ended up with the flu

My chest was out of breath last night

I couldn't say one word

There was smoke still stuck in my lungs

It appears this boat won't hold

As if I needed reminders

That this old soul's just aboat done

I grabbed your hand from the rushing water

I even plan to cure you of cancer, love

Of course it's raining now

A spider's under my shoe

You never explained who, why or how

I've never seen my body so bruised

I did it for true love

I did it for true love

I did it for true love

I did it for true love

And I don't know why

Everytime

I'm locked inside and surrounded by blue sky

I cracked the ice

Pulled you out from under

And I warmed you by the fire

Saved your life

I fell asleep to our favourite song

But the wait until summer was too long for you to go on

When I woke I was all alone

And I stared at the ceiling

And I'm scared that I stared far too long

I grabbed your hand from the blood-red water

The poor man just lost his daughter, love

I found you lying there

Your wrists were cut to shreds

I had to deal with it

It wasn't fair

I loved another instead

I did it for true love

I did it for true love

I did it for true love

I did it for true love
