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

That's what I did for love



What I did for love

I gave everything

And I hope that you can see

All that love has given me



When they sit and list the reasons I existed

I'm afraid it won't add up to very much

'Cause I gathered all I had and gladly risked it

That's what I did for love

Yeah



What I did for love

I gave everything

And I hope that you can see

All that love has given me



Someday I may silently surrender

When this old heart has finally had enough

But I hope that I will always be remembered

By what I did for love

See all I've ever done that really matters

Is what I did for love
