Everybody?s heart is torn and tattered
Mine was not designed for giving up
?Cos all I?ve ever done that really matters
It?s 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 is done for me
And when they sit and list the reasons I existed
I?m afraid it won?t add up to very much
?Cos I gathered all I had and gladly rested
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 is 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
