The Stragglers - I Did It For True Love Lyrics

I haven't drank in three weeks and my stomach's still turning from the night we spent on the beach
I had the same bad dream last night at the edge of the building and I feared you were just out of reach
I grabbed your hand as you were falling
We jumped aboard on the first boat departing, love
It's getting colder now
I think I ended up with the flu
My chest was out of breath last night
I couldn't say one word
There was smoke still stuck in my lungs
It appears this boat won't hold
As if I needed reminders
That this old soul's just aboat done
I grabbed your hand from the rushing water
I even plan to cure you of cancer, love
Of course it's raining now
A spider's under my shoe
You never explained who, why or how
I've never seen my body so bruised
I did it for true love
I did it for true love
I did it for true love
I did it for true love
And I don't know why
Everytime
I'm locked inside and surrounded by blue sky
I cracked the ice
Pulled you out from under
And I warmed you by the fire
Saved your life
I fell asleep to our favourite song
But the wait until summer was too long for you to go on
When I woke I was all alone
And I stared at the ceiling
And I'm scared that I stared far too long
I grabbed your hand from the blood-red water
The poor man just lost his daughter, love
I found you lying there
Your wrists were cut to shreds
I had to deal with it
It wasn't fair
I loved another instead
I did it for true love
I did it for true love
I did it for true love
I did it for true love
