For You
Marian Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the hours that I've wait
All the minutes I was sad.
All my life I was searching
For someone like you.

All the songs I wrote for you
All the poems I did too.
All these words, they cannot tell

How I feel

All the nights I stood awake
All the days I cannot eat
All the times I spent waiting for you to come
Waiting for you to come

All the gods I'm praying to
All the wise man I talk to
All their tale that cannot make me happy

All the other ones I see
All the people dont make me ever happy
Cause I miss you without knowing

All the good times we could make
All I hope it's not too late
I'm sure you're able to comply my wish

I need no, I need no, I need no, I need no,
No, I need no woman, no, I need no woman

I need no, I need no, I need no, I need no,
I only need you, I only need you.

I need no, I need no, I need no, I need no,
I need no, I need no, I need no woman

I need no, I need no, I need no, I need no,
I only need you, I only need you.
