All For Nothing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Open your eyes and take a look around
The water's past your knees
But we won't let you drown
You wanna float away
Can't bear another day
I don't understand
How you could let her down
Playing the poor man
While your holding the key
To daddy's little princess
You'll always be the key
You say it's all or nothing
How could you fall for something
Better think about your daughter
And if you can't bear to lose her
Don't pull the trigger
You won't believe the things
That you'll be missin'
When she talks about her dreams
Did you even listen
She'd love you to see her dance
Walk her down the aisle
How you ever gonna get that chance?
When you're playing the poor man
Givin' up on hope
Backed into a corner
Tying your own rope
And it's all for nothing
How could you fall for something
Better think about your daughter
And if you can't bear to lose her
Don't pull the trigger
What are you lookin' for?
Why are you running?
Maybe there's a better way
To work this one out.
Why don't you want to see
Who you are shutting out?
How could you let her down?
You say it's all or nothing
How could you fall for something
Better think about your daughter
And if you can't bear to lose her
Don't pull the trigger
And it's all for nothing
(Don't let me down)
How could you fall for something
(Need you around)
Think about your daughter
She can't live without a father
Don't pull the trigger
She can't live without a father
Don't pull the trigger
