I Did It For You by Jake Zyrus Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to days
Knew what I had to do
Couldn't find the words to say

We had the perfect story
Stories have an end
Had to turn the page cause
To keep you was a sin
Oh

You know that I loved you with
(Everything that I had)
But what you needed I
(Couldn't be, held you back)

I cared enough about you
To give you the chance
To find someone who can
[Chorus:]
I broke your heart
(I did it for you)
Tore us apart
(I did it for you)
Just walked away
(I did it for you)
Oh
For you

You wanted more than my everything
(Did it for you)
Someone you knew that I couldn't be
(Did it for you)
I know you don't ever understand me

But it's true
It's true
I did it for you
For you

[Verse 2:]
I could say I'm sorry
Wouldn't mean a thing
Tell you what you want to hear
Baby
What you wanted wasn't for me
Held you by a string
Had you cut a loose
Cause forever something we can't be

[Hook:]
You know I loved you with
(Everything that I had)
But what you needed I
(Couldn't be, held you back)

I cared enough about you
To give you the chance
To find someone who can

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
They say the ones that you love
Are the ones you hurt the most
For all the pain that I've caused you

Baby
I'm sorry
I did it for you
[Repeat Chorus:]

Mmmm
