I Wrote This Song For You (I Wrote This Song For Myself)

By soldier

I wrote this song for you
I wrote this song for myself
I can't have you
And I don't want any body else

I know my heart is broken
I know my heart is shattered
Now I don't even bother
Because I know it doesn't even matter

And the tears
Tears dry with time
But the scars
Scars stay behind
And every day I see your face
Oh how I wish I was blind 
How I wish I was blind

I wrote this song for my love
I wrote this song for my pain
Two feelings I feel
Again and again and again

They go hand in hand

And please don't pretend
At one point in time
You wasn't mine
And every night
I hold you again
In my mind
Again and again and again

I wrote this song for you
I wrote this song for myself
I can't have you
And I don't want any body else

I know my heart is broken
I know my heart is shattered
Now I don't even bother
Because I know it doesn't even matter

And the tears
Tears dry with time
But the scars
Scars stay behind
And every day I see your face
Oh how I wish I was blind 
How I wish I was blind

I wrote this song for you
I wrote this song for myself
