I Lived For Love (Working Legend)

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.

I am just a working legend

And it takes up all my nights

I've given up on happy endings

But not without a fight

I've propped myself up on gagged edges

Gone into a dark abyss

And I've lived for love

I cried for love

I died for love and lived

Yes, I lived for love

I cried for love

I died for love and lived

I have loved them with abandon

I've been careless with my life

I've had to lose more than one heartache

If I was to survive

But there's a part of me beside you

That has learned how to forgive

And I've lived for love

I cried for love

I died for love and lived

Yes, I lived for love

Cried for love

I died for love and lived

Oh oh oh ohh ohh

Oh oh oh ohh ohh

I died for love and here I am

Oh oh oh ohh ohh

Oh oh oh ohh ohh

I died for love and I'm still here

So for all of you who've lost in love

To all who have been burned

A little lovin' spent is a lot of living earned

So don't you be afraid to love

Don't you be afraid to give

'Cause first you live for love

You cry for love

You die for love and yeah

Yes, I lived for love

Cried for love

I died for love and lived

Yes, I lived for love,

cried for love,

I died for love and lived

Oh oh oh ohh ohh

Oh oh oh ohh ohh

I died for love and here I am

Here's the truth, pass it on

I'll be through before I'm gone

I died for love and here I am

I am just a working legend

And it takes up all my nights

I've given up on happy endings

But not without a fight

I've propped myself up on gagged edges

Gone into a dark abyss

And I've lived for love

I cried for love

I died for love and I

Oh yeah, I lived for love

I cried for love

I died for love and

Yeah, I lived for love

I cried for love

I died for love and

Oh oh, I've lived for love

I lived for love

I cried for love

I died for love and lived
