Song for You
Chad Peralta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm all alone since you walked away
As I begged for you to stay
You decided to leave me behind
It hurts to think that our love didn't last
We build it up to watch it fall
Watch it fall down

[Refrain]

Well even though we moved our separate ways
My love for you's still the same
My heart still beats your name

[Chorus:]
I wish you'll hear me singin'
Singing this song for you
And let you know that i'm still
Still longing for your love
I wish you'll hear me singin'
Singing this song for you
And let you know that i'm still
Still breathing, still need you
I wish you were here with me

I paid the price, I gave the best of me
But I couldn't give you what you need
So you turned and walked away
It hurts to think that our love didn't last
We build it up to watch it fall
Watch it fall down

[repeat Refrain and Chorus]

Cos I can't live without your love
I can't live without your love

[repeat Chorus]
