Song for You
Murdoch Alexi Lyrics

So today I wrote a song for you
I wrote this song for you today because sometimes a single day can feel incredibly long.

'cause a day can get so long
Because sometimes a single day can feel incredibly long.

And I know its hard to make it through
I understand that it can be difficult for you to get through tough times.

When you say there's something wrong
When you express that something is bothering you.

So I'm trying to put it right
I'm making an effort to fix whatever is wrong.

'cause I want to love you with my heart
Because I desire to love you wholeheartedly.

All this trying has made me tight
All the effort I've put into making things better has made me feel tense and anxious.

And I don't know even where to start
And I don't even know where to begin addressing the issues.

Maybe that's a start
Perhaps acknowledging that I don't know where to start is the first step.

'cause you know its a simple game
Because you understand that life can be a straightforward game.

That you play filling up your head with rain
A game where you fill your mind with negative thoughts and worries.

And you know you are hiding from your pain
And you're aware that you're avoiding confronting your pain.

In the way, in the way you say your name
Through the way you say your own name, you reveal your attempt to conceal your pain.

And I see you
I see you struggling.

Hiding your face in your hands
Covering your face with your hands, trying to hide your emotions.

Flying so you won't land
Escaping from reality, avoiding facing your problems.

You think no one understands
You believe that no one truly comprehends what you're going through.

No one understands
No one truly understands.

So you hunch your shoulders and you shake your head
You slump your shoulders and shake your head in frustration or disbelief.

And your throat is aching but you swear
And your throat feels sore, but you vehemently deny any pain.

No one hurts you, nothing could be sad
No one can harm you, and you insist that nothing has the ability to make you sad.

Anyway you're not here enough to care
Besides, you believe that you're not present enough to care about anything deeply.

And you're so tired you don't sleep at night
You're exhausted to the point that you struggle to sleep at night.

As your heart is trying to mend
While your heart is attempting to heal.

You keep it quiet but you think you might
You keep your pain to yourself, but you contemplate the possibility.

Disappear before the end
Of disappearing or giving up before everything comes to an end.

And its strange that you cannot find
It's peculiar that you're unable to locate.

Any strength to even try
Any strength to even attempt to overcome your challenges.

To find a voice to speak your mind
To find the courage to express your thoughts and feelings.

When you do, all you want to do is cry
When you do gather the strength, all you feel like doing is crying.

Well maybe you should cry
Perhaps it would be beneficial for you to shed some tears.

And I see you hiding your face in your hands
I see you concealing your face with your hands.

Talking 'bout far-away lands
Speaking about distant places and escapism.

You think no one understands
You believe that no one truly comprehends what you're going through.

Listen to my hands
Pay attention to my actions and support.

And all of this life
Every aspect of existence.

Moves around you
Revolve around you.

For all that you claim
Despite the things you assert or declare.

You're standing still
You remain motionless.

You are moving too
You are also experiencing movement and change.

You are moving too
You are also experiencing movement and change.

You are moving too
You are also experiencing movement and change.

I will move with you
I will accompany you on your journey of growth and change.
