Story behind the song
This is an apology set to music. I hope it has (or will) be accepted.
Lyrics
WE LIVED FOR LOVE
I’m not afraid of pain or death
I’m just afraid I’ve failed you,
(And the debt I owe.)
On my way to my paupers grave
Cause that’s all I’ve earned
(From all the time I’ve wasted)
Trying to find my soul
And I’m sorry we never talked that much
But I tried so hard to rhyme and arrange my words such
(That they would touch you)
But touching you’s not easy,
For your skin
Is as thin
As the ice I’m standing on
Chorus
(But) we lived for love
(Some die) to live… for love
(Some live) and… never love
(Some die) and…never really live
In the chronic pastel chaos
Of the cube we called your room
I watched you magic slip away
Your eyes slammed half-mast
I gasped
And watched you walk away
You held “Actual Time” in your arms
Spoke Vietnamese to “Cam Von”
(Everyday.)
And your flaming mane ignited the sky
And I watched the stars say goodbye
And fly away
Chorus
Verse
Now the house, (it was a gallery)
And the boys came from the Bowery
` To play shoot’em-up.
They held‘em off
At the pass
Then stumbled through
The broken glass
Of shattered dreams
There was your mother in her leather
(That) held her all together
With her Virgo pain
And you, in your tutu
Doing all that you could-do
To keep us sane
Chores
