Self-respect

Just for you
I lay on the rack
I pick up your mess
It smells of abuse
I dont need the pressure
On my back
I do it anyhow
I do it anyhow
I do it anyhow
Just for you
Just for you
And my self-respect
And my self-respect
I know im just a little man
I need your more than i need to live
You are greater than the sum of me
You are the sun that is blinding me
No one can know
How much i cry
But the reasons are clear:
Look in my eyes
You see disease in my past
And my sickness now
With you theres no cure
I do it anyhow
I tortured myself
I tortured myself
I tortured myself
Just for you
Just for you
And my self-respect
And my self-respect
And my self-respect
I know im just a little man
I need your more than i need to live
You are greater than the sum of me
You are the sun that is blinding me
I give you my life for my self-respect
