A Song For You
F.T Island Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keep hearing the talk behind your back
He's nothing but trouble
Words ringing in your ears
The man's no good
But I walked to shadow and back
Just for you
I double-crossed the reaper
You should ignore the shit they say You know it's fiction

Because of you I came back from
The other side
I walk to shadow and back
Just for you
I double-crossed the reaper
To be with
Whether you're an angel dressed in red
Or a devil in white
I'd sell my soul to see your face
For one more day
I walk to shadow and back
Just for you
I double-crossed the reaper
To be with you
I walk to shadow and back
Just for me
I double-crossed the reaper

To be with you
To be with you
