Lyrics for There For You as interpreted by QBlue_12

There For You Lyrics
Sometimes I'm selfish fake
You're always a true friend
And I don't deserve you
'Cause I'm not there for you
Please forgive me again

I wanna be there for you
Someone you can come to
Runs deeper than my bones
I wanna be there for you
I wanna be there for you

Swirling shades of blue
Slow dancing in your eyes
Sun kisses the earth
And I hush my urge to cry, cry

I wanna be there for you
Someone you can come to
Runs deeper than my bones
I wanna be there for you
I wanna be there for you

'Cause I hear the whispered words
In your masterpiece beautiful
You speak the unspeakable through
I love you too

I wanna be there for you
Someone you can come to

I wanna be there for you
And be someone you can come to
The love runs deeper than my bones
I wanna be there for you

I have a different version of this song.


Sometimes I'm a selfish fake
You're always a true friend
I don't deserve you
'Cause I'm not there for you
Though I wish I would be

I wanna be there for you
And be someone you can come to

Swirling shades of blue
Slow dancing in your sky
The sun kisses the earth
And I hush my urge to cry

'Cause I hear the whispered words
Within your masterpiece beautiful
You speak the unspeakable through
I love you too

I wanna be there for you
And be someone you can come to
The love runs deeper than my bones
'Cause you are beautiful don't you know

Well sometimes your friends are there for you, but you not there for them, but u aware of that. Mayb shes just like me, cause im scared to become close to people, but after a while your friend wants something back.

I don't like the very beginning, it's a tad cliche. But this song is so frickin addictive! It's been stuck in my head for the past week.

Like Raindropsonroses said, I think it's about being afraid of getting close to people. She wants to be close to the person, but feels unworthy of them.

I think maybe shes in a relationship with someone where the other person has always been there to nurture and solve her problems but she now feels she wants to repay it by listening to their problems.
"And I hush my urge to cry, cry"
This line could be about her holding back her own emotions for once, so she can listen to the other persons.

I think that this is a song to God, talking about how someone messes up, but always returns back and asks forgiveness, saying that they want to be there too, instead of wandering off from him.

Like in the first verse she says I don't deserve you, and forgive me, which are both often things said in Christians' prayers.

When I saw them live, in the middle of this song, Lacey got down on her knees and sang the chorus of a worship song that says,
"I'm falling on my knees, offering all of me,
Jesus you're all this heart is living for"


I'm not sure that video will work.

This is a really beautiful song that I love sooooooooo much. Actually this is the song that really got me hooked on Flyleaf. Their lyrics are really beautiful and powerful, simple but complex.
I believe that this is a song is about true love & friendship and wanting to be there for that friend no matter what happens in life. Through all the hard times, that friend has been there for you and even though you might not have always been there for them, you want to tell them how much you appreciate them. I loved this song so much that I even dedicated it and Broken Wings( also by Flyleaf) to my best friend. Flyleaf rocks!

this can relate to all christains. we stray from God but we always come back because God shows his mercy to us and his grace.
He will NEVER forsake us and He will always call us back to him. i love Jesus sooooooo much!

this song is about how Jesus is always there for you and basically she's saying that she wants to be there for him too.

Well, I was listening to this song today while reading all your interpetations and I just thought I'd throw mine out here.

Personally, I kind of don't think it's about Jesus. I mean, it could be...but, for me, it's not. I agree with bubblingbrooke mostly. But, this song could also be about a person loving another person who's just a friend. For example, a girl always sees her guy friend depressed and she wants to help him so very badly. She loves him at the same time. He doesn't really love her that way, though. She wants to be there for him more than she is normally. She wants to be in his arms, comfort his fears, and chase away all the sadness that fills his eyes. This song would be the girl expressing her desire to love him, or help him.

This is song is absloutely beautiful. One of my favorites from flyleaf. I think this song can be interpreted in alot of different ways. That's what so great. All their songs that THEY mean to be religous can be for anyone. Religous or not. I think WishingForYou made a good point about the "this song could also be about a person loving another person who's just a friend". I have a guy friend who likes me as more than a friend, but I just don't think of him that way. And he's always there for me, but I feel like I'm not there enough for him because I don't want to send him mixed messages. [This is my first comment, so it's not that great. I know.]

I don't think that it is about God. I think it's about being in a reletionshiip where you think that the other person is just to good for you. You feel good enough and you just want to be better for them.

this song is about God being here for "you" all the time and she's obviously feeling like she wants to or needs to be there for God all the time as well.

it's about how God has always been there for the band and they feel like they wanna be there for Him aslo, if you go to their official website, www.flyleafonline.com it states it there... and also this is taking about wanting to be with God and being there for Him like He was with us, "Swirling shades of blue
Slow dancing in your sky
The sun kisses the earth
And I hush my urge to cry"
it's all confirmed in their website, and by them personally, it's really a Worship song, cause live she sings this " so i wait, for you, so i wait for you, i'm falling on my knees, offering all of me, Jesus YOUR ALL THIS HEART IS LIVING FOR..." and she and the guitarist is crying and she's on her knee's and then she going int othe chorus, lifting her hands in worship, to see this, just go to youtube.com and type in there for you by flyleaf, it is about a friend, about God always being a Friend and never foresaking you and He's always gonna be ther eno matter what choices you make in life... so yeah :D

DeadVenusBlue has the lyrics that are on Flyleaf's website, so I'd say those are right.

Aahaha, yeah, leave it to you bible humpers to turn this into a song about god.
Nothing against god, but seriously. Not every song out there is about him.

I can see how this song could be about God, but to me this song is about love. Like there's this person that's always been there through it all for anything, and she wants to be there for him to but she's messed up a lot. So she feels like she's undeserving of his love for her.
"And I don't deserve you
'Cause I'm not there for you
Please forgive me again"
But she wants to be there for him like he is to her, but there's just something stopping her. I can definatley relate to this song.
