It Was For You

A fresh start. Something else.
That's what you wanted for me
and for yourself.
I'll give you that and I'll take it.
Let it be what we make it.

Thank you for that night.
You stayed up with me
and woke me in the morning.
And I had to go, but we had that.
We had that, once. It was nice.

Maybe you'll be happier.
Without me trying to convince you
to believe me.

Now you can have the icing on the cake
and so can I. Without having to give
what I don't have in me to give.
Without living like I know how to live...
That's for you.
It was for you.
I wish you knew.

But as we grew, we grew apart.
But I loved you from the start.

You had to break my heart.
Or I couldn't go. I wouldn't go.

But I just wanted you to know.
And I hope, one day, you will know.
Why I came back.
What it was for.
It was for you.
