O.A.R. - Not for Me

Time is the only thing certain
When your staring down your son
And your days will not be forgotten
If you live them as they come
When nobody wants to be just your best friend
Without competition
With nothing to hide
Watching your back doubles up your vision
I make no decisions with unsteady eyes

This world is not for me, my love
It's all for you
This world was never free for me
But it will be for you
Listen true
When you fall
Get up again
I know this life might be hard to live
But It's not for me my love
It's all for you

I tired to vanish
Into the shadows
I tired to get away from it all
I couldn't manage
Imagine this life
With nothing to leave you at all
Then somebody picked me up
With the quickness
Wrapped me in blankets
Of patience and love
Brought me back from a broken existence
I feel no resistance to rising above

This world is not for me, my love
It's all for you
I'll tell you true
This world was never free for me
But it will be for you
That's what I'll do
If you fall get up again
I know that life might be hard to live
But it's not for me anymore
It's all for you

You know it's not for me
Oh no no
Not for me
Oh no no
I know it's not for me, my love
It's all for you

Not for me
Oh no no
This is not for me
Oh no no
This is not for me
Oh no no
This is not for me
Oh no no

And when you fall get up one more time
This life is yours for the taking
Not mine
Don't be afraid where you came from
Oh, man
You'll take it somewhere new
This world is not for me, my love
It's all for you
You know it's all for you

If you fall get up again
I know this life can be hard to live
If you got love
You should give love
Get back love
Take it home with you
It's not for me, my love
It's just for you
