Lyrics
ONLY FOR MY SAKE
Running backwards down a one way street
I don't care where I am
All I know is I'm on my way
Just don't say you love me
I know you think you do
Don't complicate things
Because I want to hold my head up
Without holding my heart in my hands
If I'm going to hold you
If I'm going to love you
It doesn't matter what i say
It's only for me
Yes I want to hold you
Yes I want to love you
But only till the break of day
And only for the sake of me
The early morning light which fills your eyes
Makes it easy to believe
You're the angel sent for me
Just don't say you love me
I know you think you do
And don't try to save me
(prechorus)
(chorus)
