Lyrics
For What
I gave you all my loving
You gave me nothing in return
You swept my feelings right under your feet
And kicked my dreams right out the door
I gave my time and attention to you and only you
All those promises you couldn't keep
And like a fool I came back for more
Now it's finally over this time I've made up my mind
You ask me how I could throw all this away
And not give our love another try
Chorus
For what
What for
Well I need a new perspective room to breathe
I sacrificed all my sanity and for what
I'm tired of all this talking
Loving shouldn't be so hard
Knowing the truth really does set you free
I see the light like never before
No more wasted emotions I know that someday I'll find
A real man who will take the place of you
And give me more than you could even if you tried
Repeat Chorus
