Not For Me - O.A.R.

Time is the only thing certain

When you’re staring down your son

And your days will not be forgotten

If you live them as they come

When nobody wants to be just your best friend

Without competition, with nothing to hide

Watching your back doubles up your vision

I make no decisions with unsteady eyes

This world is not for me, my love

It’s all for you, yeah

This world was never free for me

But it will be for you

Listen true

When you fall

Get up again

I know that life might be hard to live

But it’s not for me my love

It’s all for you

I tried to vanish

Into the shadows

I tried to get away from it all

I couldn’t manage

Imagine this life

With nothing to leave you at all

Then somebody picked me up

With the quickness

Wrapped me in blankets

Of patience and love

Brought me back from a broken existence

I feel no resistance to rising above

This world is not for me, my love

It’s all for you

I’ll tell you true

This world was never free for me

But it will be for you

That’s what I’ll do

If you fall get up again

I know that life might be hard to live

But it’s not for me anymore

It’s all for you

You know it’s not for me

Oh no no

Not for me

Oh no no

I know it’s not for me, my love

It’s just for you

No one wanna be

A prisoner in their home

So you will never be

Living one day on your own

This world is not for me, my love

I did it all for you

When I look back I wanna be sure

That I did it true

Yeah

If you fall get up again

I know this life might be hard to live

So when you get some love

You should give it back

It will come right back to you

This world is not for me, my love

It’s all for you

Not for me

Oh no no

This is not for me

Oh no no

This is not for me

Oh no no

This is not for me

Oh no no

And when you fall get up one more time

This life is yours for the taking

Not mine

Don’t be afraid where you came from

Oh, man

You’ll take it somewhere new

This world is not for me, my love

It’s all for you

You know it’s all for you

If you fall get up again

I know that life can be hard to live

If you got love

You should give love

Get back love

Take it home with you

It’s not for me, my love

It’s just for you
