"I Did It For Me, I Did It For You"

(Verse 1)
Clinging To Moments, That You Can't Have Back
Counting The Minutes, And Slowly Losing Track
I Don't Know Where I'm Going - But I Hate Where I've Been
I Fought With The Devil, Competing Over Sin
No One Wins... No One Wins... No One Wins...
I am a different person
A Whole New Human Being
I hope one day you'll see me
For what I can be
(Pre-Chorus)
But if you don't allow me,
I can't force you to
A Start of something different
Called a Beginning
It could've been an ending, but I fought my way through
My way through
I swear it's true
(Chorus)
I did it for me, I did it for you
I did it for me, I did it for you
(Bridge)
Lying-All it caused was
Crying-Now I'm done with
Trying-Cuz it didn't work yea - now it's about the work yea
Gotta Put in
The Time-Cuz you know I'm not fine
But I know I'll get there
Got a lot of love yea, lotta love to share yeah
See you when I get there
And if you turn your shoulder - I'll try you when we're older
Cuz I'm done with Lying
It's About the Action
My only satisfaction
Is proving it with Action
(Chorus)
I did it for me, I did it for you
I did it for me, I did it for you
(Verse 2)
Clinging to the moments - that we can't have back
Counting the minutes, but never losing track
I realize where I'm going, can't change where I've been
I've spoken to the Heavens - they understand my sin
And I win, I'll call it a win, I'll call it a win
(Chorus)
I did it for me, I did it for you
I did it for me, I did it for you
I did it for me, I did it for you
I did it for me, I did it for you
