It's for You
Throw the Fight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another year has passed, thoughts of you still fill my mind.
Wonder what you're doing now, I wonder where you are tonight.
Are you lying in his arms, laughing like two lovers do.
Sharing everything we had, god I've made a big mistake.
(Just hear that I'm sorry that it ended.)
A bullet for me, and a rose for you.
I'm falling apart, tell me what to do.
A bullet for me, and a rose for you.
I'm falling apart, tell me what to do.
Minutes turned to hours, weeks turned into years.
I tried to let you see I've changed, with the letters and the calls.
Waking up alone, is the hardest thing to do.
Knowing that you're gone, is why I wrote you this sad song.
It's for you, It's for you.
It's for you, It's for you.
A bullet for me, and a rose for you.
I'm falling apart, tell me what to do.
A bullet for me, and a rose for you.
I'm falling apart, tell me what to do.
We're going round in circles, who said this would be easy.
Some things will never change, I'll lye and wait for you.
I close my eyes and try to, pretend that i am with you.
I think about the things that, I would share with you.
If there's just one thing that i care to say.
(Just hear that I'm sorry that it ended)
A bullet for me, and a rose for you.
I'm falling apart, tell me what to do.
A bullet for me, and a rose for you.




I'm falling apart, tell me what to do.
A bullet for me, a rose for you
