For You (single)

Princess cards she sends me
With her regards
Oh, barroom eyes shine vacancy
To see her, you gotta look hard

Wounded deep in battle
I stand stuffed like some solider undaunted
To her Cheshire smile, I'll stand on file
She's all I ever wanted

You let your blue walls get in the way of these facts, honey
Get your carpetbaggers off my back
Girl, give me time to cover my tracks
She said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks"
But they're not what I came for
Oh, I came for so much more (I came for you)
And I know you know that, too (I came for you)
And I know you know that's true (I came for you)

I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
For you, I came for you

Crawl into my ambulance
Your pulse is getting weak
Reveal yourself all to me now
While you've got the strength to speak

Don't call for your surgeon even he says it's late
It's not your lungs this time, but your heart holds your fate
Don't give me my money back, don't want it anymore
It's not that nursery mouth I came back for
It's not the way you stretched out on the floor
And who am I to ask you to fight my wars? (I came for you)
And you should know that's true (I came for you)
You should know that, too (I came for you)

I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
For you, I came for you

Don't call for your surgeon even he says it's late
It's not your lungs this time, but your heart holds your fate
Don't give me my money back, don't want it anymore
It's not that nursery mouth I came back for
It's not the way you stretched out on the floor
Who am I to ask you to fight my wars? (I came for you)
And you should know that's true (I came for you)
You should know that, too (I came for you)

I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
For you, I came for you
