WHAT WAS IT FOR?

If I dance inside the corner of your mind
If you give me just a little bit more time
When you slip straight through the cracks in all my lies
What was it for?

(What was it for?)

If I gave myself away to the other side
Do you think you could let me escape your mind?
And if you leave this earth I hope that we can find
What it was for

(What it was for)

Now that I'm getting older
I get to watch me fall apart
When I'm a little bolder
Can we let me restart?

I let you go
Not because I wanted to but

I'll let you save yourself

You were perfect
No wonder that I wasn't worth it

I'll keep you on my shelf

If I find a stronger backbone in my spine
Maybe this time I won't have to rob us blind
And when I agree that all the fault is mine
What was it for?

Now that I'm getting older
I get to watch me fall apart
When I'm a little bolder
Can we let me restart?

I let you go
Not because I wanted to but

I'll let you save yourself

You were perfect
No wonder that I wasn't worth it

I'll keep you on my shelf

I let you go
Not because I wanted to but

I'll let you save yourself

You were perfect
No wonder that I wasn't worth it

I'll keep you on my shelf
(What was it for?)
