For Love

By Keith Methven, ©1999 all rights reserved.

It only hurts when I stop being busy.
The pain starts when I stop the grind. 
I miss you so much, but work drives me on. 
Never getting where my heart’s in control.

Life is turning my soul into stone. 
The day-to-day tasks to earn another bone.  
I have forgotten the feelings of a child.
And drown the pain in the side’s that’s running wild.

Pre chorus
Please, forgive me for I’ve fallen by the way. 
The path of straight and narrow has led me far astray.
Please, give me the strength to turn the day.
Don’t have it figured, but I figure it this way.

Chorus
For love, I will follow
For love, I will serve.
Give me another chance, a chance we all deserve. 
For love, I will mend.
For love, I will give.
For love, I will build. Build a better world.

There goes another day and I’m not any closer.
I’ve paid money down now I hide myself away.
If regret turns to sorrow.
When sorrow steals your dreams.
You better find someone to change what you believe.
