For You Lyrics

For you...I shall give

We laugh..but no-one's laughing
We kiss..and no-one cares
So we shout..but no-one's listening
So we live..like no-one dares

For you
Well I'll be your soldier
For you
I'll bury friends
For you
Well I'll be your saviour
For you
I'll play and pretend

So we laugh..but no-one's laughing
And we kiss..but no-one cares
So we shout..but no-one's listening
So we live..like no-one dares

For you
Well I'll be your soldier
For you
I'll bury friends
For you
Well I'll be your saviour
For you
I'll play and pretend

For you
Well I'll be your soldier
For you
I'll bury friends
For you
Well I'll be your saviour
For you
I'll play and pretend

So we cry..but now you're laughing
So we hate..but now who cares
So we shout..but now you're listening
So we'll die..and you won't care

For you
Well I'll be your soldier
For you
I'll bury friends
For you
Well I'll be your saviour
For you
I'll play and pretend
I'll play and pretend
I'll play and pretend
I'll play and pretend
I'll play and pretend

Can't Stand Rock n' Roll

For you...I shall give

We laugh..but no-one's laughing 
We kiss..and no-one cares 
So we shout..but no-one's listening 
So we live..like no-one dares

For you 
Well I'll be your soldier 
For you 
I'll bury friends 
For you 
Well I'll be your saviour 
For you 
I'll play and pretend

So we laugh..but no-one's laughing 
And we kiss..but no-one cares 
So we shout..but no-one's listening 
So we live..like no-one dares

For you 
Well I'll be your soldier 
For you 
I'll bury friends 
For you 
Well I'll be your saviour 
For you 
I'll play and pretend

For you 
Well I'll be your soldier 
For you 
I'll bury friends 
For you 
Well I'll be your saviour 
For you 
I'll play and pretend

So we cry..but now you're laughing 
So we hate..but now who cares 
So we shout..but now you're listening 
So we'll die..and you won't care

For you 
Well I'll be your soldier 
For you 
I'll bury friends 
For you 
Well I'll be your saviour 
For you 
I'll play and pretend 
I'll play and pretend 
I'll play and pretend 
I'll play and pretend 
I'll play and pretend

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.

Can't believe this is the first comment for such an awesome song. Probably as close as ANL ever got to a love song.
