For You

Barenaked Ladies · Ships & Dip V: Sail Away Show 02/01/09 [2009]

I have set aside everything I loved

I have saved everything else for you

I cannot decide what this doubt's made of

Thought I 've gone over it through and through



In a book in a box high upon a shelf

In a locked and guarded vault

Are the things I keep only for myself

Its your fate but its not your fault.



And for every useless reason I know

there's a reason not to care.

If I hide myself wherever I go

am I ever really there?



There is no where else I would rather be

but I can't just be right here

An enigma wrapped in a mystery or a

fool consumed by fear?



And for every useless reason I know

there's a reason not to care.

If I hide myself wherever I go

am I ever really there?



I will give you all I could ever give

though its less than you will need

could you just forget if you cant forgive

all the things i could not conceive



And for every useless reason I know

there's a reason not to care.

If I hide myself wherever I go

am I ever really there?
