For Love

[Verse 1]
Maybe he's been trying too hard
To cover all his nasty scars
And maybe all the broken hearts
Ain't so broken after all

[Chorus]
So let's not construe
The things we do
For love

[Verse 2]
By the docks the whistle blows
The man in yellow packs his clothes
And if he's got a wife at home
The burden he carries, only heaven knows

[Chorus]
So let's not construe
The things we do
For love

[Bridge]
Forget the things that he could say when heavy thoughts get in the way
He'll close his eyes
After the battles that he's won when he's fought hard 'til he lays numb
Just take him home tonight

[Chorus]
So let's not construe
The things we do
For love
