But For You Lyrics by Anthony D’Amato

Paper Back Bones

2012

I've been wishin' it would rain some, just to keep me clean
I'm hopin' to be handsome, and stripped of all my needs
If I only knew how to pray, I'd get down on my knees
If I only knew what to say, I'd beg and I'd plead
But for you I would prove I'm kind, and
But for you I would lose my mind, and
But for you I would stumble blindly through
I've been waitin' on the rapture, just to catch a glimpse
[The] silver of the dagger as it slips beneath the skin
And of fortune, my child, I'm a fool, whisper my name
I'd string your heart like a jewel, a crimson chain
But for you I would fall behind, and
But for you I would draw these blinds, and
But for you I would slide right out of view
[That's for] boots on the front steps
Heels on the pavement
Shufflin' down the avenue
I'm young, [but my top spins]
Homeless apartment
Honey, I've been waitin' up for you
But for you I would be an island
But for you I would cheat and lie, and
But for you I would still be kinder, [blue, kinder blue]
