about
A lovel song for... who else but Andrea.
lyrics
The One I Would Have Died For
Love is a religion - it helps if you believe.
And love’s a beggar, tugging at your sleeve.
It’s the hand that rocks the cradle, it’s a blanket on your bed -
it shines down on the living and the dead.
In every love story, there’s always some new thing
that has to be said.
Love is a metaphor, for nothing but itself.
The Book of Love just jumps right off the shelf.
And love’s a kind of voodoo for all your aches and pains,
when we’re gone, they say it’s all that remains.
We should teach it to our children,
the same way that we teach them their names.
CHORUS:
You’re the one I would have died for,
you’re the one I would have waited all my life for.
You’re the one I would have cried for,
prayed up all night into the darkness for.
Love is the real thing, in a world full of fakes -
the right move after all your mistakes.
You can sink it to the bottom of the ocean floor,
but it always finds its way back to shore.
I’d seen through all of its disguises,
by the time it stopped in front of my door.
CHORUS
I’d seen through all of its disguises,
by the time it stopped in front of my door.
CHORUS
