Lyrics A Song For You - The Lumineers

Well, I've been a lot of places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad rhymes
Acted out my love on stages
With ten thousand people watching
And now we're alone and I am singing my song for you

And I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I treated you unkindly, but, darling, can't you see
There's one more important to me?
So, darling, can't you please see through me?
'Cause now we're alone and I am singing my song for you

Well, you taught me precious secrets
Of a truth, withholding nothing
You came out in front while I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Just listen to the melody
For my love is in there hiding

And I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing my song for you

Well, you taught me precious secrets
Of a truth, withholding nothing
You came out in front while I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Just listen to the melody
For my love is in there hiding

And I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing my song for you
