I’ll Learn For You

After everything I gave you
I should hate you, but I don’t
After everything you took from me
I should leave you but I won’t
I would die, I would die without your touch
I would fall, I would fall even further without you
And I need you by my side

I need a place and I need order
That order lies with you
And if you demand that I stay with you
I’ll surrender and stay true
I would give you more if I had any left to give
I would never desert you if I ever thought I could help
And I need you by my side
I need you to need me, if that’s alright

I am my own enemy
I hate myself more than I hate you
I have made so many mistakes
Now there’s nothing I can do
To right my wrongs, so I must fight for my right to be alive
I don’t deserve all the forgiveness that you gave me, when you did
So I will earn my right to stay with you
I will learn the right way, and follow through
I will learn, I will learn how to live my own life
I will learn to love, to feel, to touch, to care, how to be there
For you

I will fight for my place
I will fight for a reason
I will fight to stay strong
I will fight for you
