This One's For You Lyrics

Last time we spoke I had a dream
We talked of age and wondered how hard life can be
Sometimes the things in life you love the most
They won’t always be there to fall back on
This I hold so closely; the danger is so grave
And I won’t hold my tears for just one more thing
This is why it hurts

This one’s for you, with every breath I’ll always think of you
This one’s for you, and everything you taught me I will use

Lungs black with smoke, don’t tell me please
I’d rather sit and wonder what this life means to me
Sometimes the things in life you love the most
They won’t always be there to fall back on
This I hold so closely; the danger is so grave
And I won’t hold my tears for just one more thing
This is why it hurts

This one’s for you, with every breath I’ll always think of you
This one’s for you, and everything you taught me I will use

You know the things you said that night on the porch
You know they didn’t make much sense back then
but now they do
You know the thoughts up in my head
You know they’ll fumble around until the day I’m dead
And it’s so clear now, it’s so clear now
(You know the things you said on the porch that night)

So why did you have to go so far away?
And I’d die to let you know I’ve felt this way
