For You I'll Die Lyrics
You said I'm yours to keep
With your voice so deep
But you were just talking in your sleep
I'll do just what you crave
My life for you I'll waive
All I get is the spot next to your grave
And you're the fool to not see
I'm not hanging here to keep you company
What am I supposed to do
When all hope is gone?
How am I supposed to leave you
When you're the only one?
I made a deal with Mr. Hades
My soul he wants to buy
For you I'll die
I know this is the end
My only friend the end
Are words from our favorite band
I know we're not astray
And my love won't decay
Are things that you'll never say
It is strange how time flies
It's been a year that's gone by
And you don't know the color of my eyes
What am I supposed to do
When all hope is gone?
How am I supposed to leave you
When you're the only one?
I made a deal with Mr. Hades
My soul he wants to buy
For you I'll die
For you I'll die
Instrumental: No Oh, No Oh Oh
And you're the fool to not see
I'm not hanging here to keep you company
It is strange how time flies
It's been a year that's gone by
And you don't know the color of my eyes
What am I supposed to do
When all hope is gone?
How am I supposed to leave you
When you're the only one?
I made a deal with Mr. Hades
My soul he wants to buy
For you I'll die
For you I'll die
With your voice so deep
But you were just talking in your sleep
My life for you I'll waive
All I get is the spot next to your grave
I'm not hanging here to keep you company
When all hope is gone?
How am I supposed to leave you
When you're the only one?
I made a deal with Mr. Hades
My soul he wants to buy
For you I'll die
My only friend the end
Are words from our favorite band
And my love won't decay
Are things that you'll never say
It's been a year that's gone by
And you don't know the color of my eyes
When all hope is gone?
How am I supposed to leave you
When you're the only one?
I made a deal with Mr. Hades
My soul he wants to buy
For you I'll die
For you I'll die
I'm not hanging here to keep you company
It is strange how time flies
It's been a year that's gone by
And you don't know the color of my eyes
When all hope is gone?
How am I supposed to leave you
When you're the only one?
I made a deal with Mr. Hades
My soul he wants to buy
For you I'll die
For you I'll die

The piano is simple and beautiful. Her voice is so poignant. Can feel the pain in this song - it is really hard to get over a person who corresponds to what you've always looking and wishing for, and that he didn't feel the same. Guess this is dedicated to her ex bf Zac Hanson "I know this is the end, My only friend the end, Are words from our favorite band"... The real word is "my favorite band".
"I know this is the end My only friend the end"
That's from The Doors "The End":
"This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end"
Marion's comments on what the song means:
"For You I'll Die" was inspired by the love Jim Morrison shared with his long-time companion Pamela Courson, coupled with their stormy relationship, separations and reunions. Raven wrote the ballad after reading the American singer's biography. “ I was in this Jim Morrison period where I was listening to the box set, reading his biography and watching the movie, I was very touched by Jim's relationship with Pamela, how she would always be there for him. The song is about being willing to do that for someone, but getting nothing in return except a spot in the grave next to them. "
