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 jagged edges
Gone into a dark abyss
And I've lived for love, I've cried for love
I died for love and live
Yes, I've lived for love, I've cried for love
I died for love and live
I have loved them with abandon,
I've been careless with my life
I had to lose more than one heartache
if I was to survive
There's a part of me beside you
that has learned how to forgive
I've lived for love, I've cried for love
I died for love and will
I've lived for love, I cried for love
I died for love and will
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Oh -oh -oh -o h -o h
I died for love until I am
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
I died for love
So to all of you who've lost their love,
to all who have been burned,
a little loving spent
is a lot of living burned.
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 lovin'
I have lived for love, I cried for love,
I died for lovin'
Oh, I have lived for love,
I cried for love, I died for lovin'
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I got all of me right here
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a workin' legend,
gonna chase up all my nights
of givin' up on happy endings,
but not without a fight
I propped myself up on jacket edges
Gone into a dark abyss
And I lived for love, I cried for love
I died for lovin', oh yeah
I lived for love, I cried for love
I died for lovin', yeah
I lived for love, I cried for love
I died for love, and oh, I will live for love
I lived for love, I cried for love
I died for love, and live you
