For You Lyrics

If you're lost and feeling low
Circumnavigate the globe
All you ever have to hope for too
And the way you seem to flow
Circumnavigating home
and I seem to lose control
with you

Everyone of us is hurt
And everyone of us is scarred
Everyone of us is scared
But not you

With your eyes closed
Your head hurts
Your eyes feel so low

Everyone of us is scared
Everyone of us is hurt
Everyone of us has hope
For you (x10)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is simply beautiful... The way the music mingles with his voice makes me feel sort of alone and alienated... I like it.

This song is amazing. When I heard it for the first time I just cried when he started singing. Chris Martin has a power over me.

"For you" is a favorite song of mine. We've all been alone at one time or another - and when I listen to this song; I see a compilation of my life in sequences of clips; some good, and some tough times, and times when I'm sitting somewhere alone, just thinking. The music is strangely mellow enough to make me feel indifferent, and how bitterness has made me a much wiser person than I ever thought I'd be.

I started liking this song when I saw it on youtube, with clips from House M.D. with the slow intro in the background when Cameron and Wilson are talking about House. "Why does he hate his parents?" to which Wilson quipped a reply, "he hates being a disappointment." And Cameron then says "He's a doctor, world famous; how disappointed can they be?" and Wilson says "You know what I figure is worse than watching your kid become crippled? Watching him become miserable." and that was what hooked me to this song.
