"What I Did For Love" lyrics

"What I Did For Love"

Everybody's heart is torn and tattered
Mine was not designed for giving up
'Cause all I've ever done that really matters
Is what I did for love

So count me with the wounded and the shaken
Even when I'm barely standing up
I've tried to offer more than I have taken
It's what I did for love

What I did for love
What I did for love
And I hope that you can see
All that love has done for me

And when they sit and list the reasons I've existed
I'm afraid it won't add up to very much
'Cause I've gathered all I had and gladly risked it
That's what I did for love

What I did for love
What I did for love
And I hope that you can see
All that love has done for me

Some day I may silently surrender
This old heart has finally had enough
But I hope that I will always be remembered
For what I did for love
