There For You Lyrics - Dear Heather - Leonard Cohen

When it all went down 

And the pain came through 

I get it now 

I was there for you 

Don't ask me how 

I know it's true 

I get it now 

I was there for you 

I make my plans 

Like I always do 

But when I look back 

I was there for you 

I walk the streets 

Like I used to do 

And I freeze with fear 

But I'm there for you 

I see my life 

In full review 

It was never me 

It was always you 

You sent me here 

You sent me there 

Breaking things 

I can't repair 

Making objects 

Out of thoughts 

Making more 

By thinking not 

Eating food 

And drinking wine 

A body that 

I thought was mine 

Dressed as Arab 

Dressed as Jew 

O mask of iron 

I was there for you 

Moods of glory 

Moods so foul 

The world comes through 

A bloody towel 

And death is old 

But it's always new 

I freeze with fear 

And I'm there for you 

I see it clear 

I always knew 

It was never me 

I was there for you 

I was there for you 

My darling one 

And by your law 

It all was done
