Send "For You" Ringtone to Cell

I waited for you
I died inside my own head
And I'd die again for you

I'm faded and tired
Completely uninspired
And I'd die again for you

So kill me with the love that you won't give to me
And pack the wound with salt I want to feel it bleed

I'm searching for reasons
To keep away the demons
And I'd die again for you
I wish you were near me
Could feel it when you hear me say
I'd die again for you

So kill me with the love that you won't give to me
And pack the wound with salt I want to feel it bleed
You wanted me to crawl so now I'm on my knees

Why's it always have to be me
That's always left out to burn and
I'll never learn

Send "For You" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:Listened to this song on one of the worst days of my life. Turned up the radio all the way, drove 120 on the empty freeway at 2am with tears in my eyes. Wishing I had the balls to turn the wheel to just crash and die.

    Not one of my better moments. But afterwards I felt just a little bit better. Life goes on. But if anyone is ever looking to let out some pain, put this song on and just let that ending blast

    General Comment:I just don't think he wants to be a better person unless it is for her... for this one girl. He makes mistakes, but I don't think he wants to take full responsibility for them. Maybe she loves him, but she doesn't want to.

    General Comment:haha, kewl_chick052001, wow..

    anyways, this guys in love with this girl, but she wants to take a break, so they do. he waits and waits for the "break" to be over, but realizes its never going to happen, and this kills him inside. so he turns to drugs, and lets himself fall apart. just doesn't do anything with his life, cuhs she was his life. he wants her to know how much hes hurting. he'd go through all this again, if he could be with her.

    but yeah, this song could have multiple meanings. :)

    General Comment:THis song also has so much meaning to me...I love it. To me this song is about loving someone so much taht you would do anything for them even continually go through the pain that they put you through. No matter what they just aren't loving you back and that kills you inside. I love this song

    General Comment:'so kill me with the love that you won't give to me" IS THE BEST LINE I HAVE EVER FUKIN HEARD!. It means so much to me when i hear that line. Just wont give me the love that i fuckin want, the love i need. so just fuckin KILL me with it!! The suffering of physical pain is better than the emotional pain of not having this love. It HURTS so fucking bad. Its UNdescribable. This whole song is the greatest song I have ever heard. I'd die again for you, just for that one person who doesnt give a fuck, ...

    General Comment:I think this song talks about how he loves a girl but she refuses to return the love. So she is kiling him the the love that she refuses the give to him. All he wants is that little bit of love that she wont let him have. He wants to show how much he cares and feel the pain.
