"What Am I Here For" lyrics

"What Am I Here For"

Mistakes, I've, I've made enough
But I ain't here to right my wrongs
Two brake lights, I gave you up
Been far away for far too long
If I don't try to save it tonight
I'll regret it for the rest of my life, so
These square miles ain't wide enough
Loving you is all I know

Oh, am I, I too late?
No brakes past the place where I met you
Through highways and hurricanes
Oh, Lord, I hope you're home

Baby, I've been driving all night
Just to break down right outside your door
'Cause if I'm not here to love you
What am I here for?
I'm running every red light and stop sign
If I can speak my mind, maybe I'll change yours
'Cause if I'm not here to love you
What am I here for?

The memories, they follow me
And places that we used to know
Now we know he is in between
But I ain't 'bout to watch you go
If I don't take a stand here tonight
I'll regret it for the rest of my life, so
These square miles ain't wide enough
Loving you is all I know

Oh, am I, I too late?
No brakes past the place where I met you
Through highways and hurricanes
Oh, Lord, I hope you're home

'Cause, baby, I've been driving all night
Just to break down right outside your door
'Cause if I'm not here to love you
What am I here for?
I'm running every red light and stop sign
If I can speak my mind, maybe I'll change yours
'Cause if I'm not here to love you
What am I here for?

What am I, what am I here for?
What am I, what am I here for?
What am I, what am I here for?
What am I, what am I here for?

Oh, am I, I too late?
No brakes past the place where I met you
Through highways and hurricanes
Oh, Lord, I hope you're home

'Cause, baby, I've been driving all night
Just to break down right outside your door
'Cause if I'm not here to love you
What am I here for?
I'm running every red light and stop sign
Just to realise what I'm fighting for
'Cause if I'm not here to love you
What am I here for?
I'm running every red light and stop sign
I'm running out of time, I know
'Cause if I'm not here to love you
What am I here for?

What am I, what am I here for?
What am I, what am I here for?
What am I, what am I here for?
What am I, what am I here for?
