Just For You
The Church · Other Songs - The Church
Sometimes when the darkness loses its hold
I tread politely in the cold
Racking my brains, pumping my veins
And taking the evening train from view
But you know I never wanted to
Ah, you know I did it just for you
And it's so easy to hurt me now
And you've forgotten anyhow
That certain ideas have changed through the years
I purchased some tears just to see me through
But you know I never wanted to
Ah, you know I did it just for you
One day I noticed the world at my feet
Next day comes and it rolls into the street
Gathering speed, paying no heed
That made me bleed until I was blue
But you know I never wanted to
Ah, you know I did it just for you
But you know I never wanted to
Ah, you know I did it just for you
Oh, just for you, oh, just for you
Oh, just for you, oh, just for you
Oh, just for you
I tread politely in the cold
Racking my brains, pumping my veins
And taking the evening train from view
But you know I never wanted to
Ah, you know I did it just for you
And it's so easy to hurt me now
And you've forgotten anyhow
That certain ideas have changed through the years
I purchased some tears just to see me through
But you know I never wanted to
Ah, you know I did it just for you
One day I noticed the world at my feet
Next day comes and it rolls into the street
Gathering speed, paying no heed
That made me bleed until I was blue
But you know I never wanted to
Ah, you know I did it just for you
But you know I never wanted to
Ah, you know I did it just for you
Oh, just for you, oh, just for you
Oh, just for you, oh, just for you
Oh, just for you
Just For You - The Church

The track captures the raw energy and spiritual undertones characteristic of the era's indie scene, serving as a powerful anthem for those seeking authentic, unpolished rock music.
