I will pray for you,
I will pray for you,
I will sell my soul for something pure and true,
Someone like you.
See your face every place that I'm walking,
Hear your voice everytime I’m talking,
You will believe in me,
And I will never be ignored.
I will burn for you,
Feel pain for you,
I will twist a knife and bleed my aching heart,
And tear it apart.
I will lie for you,
Beg and steal for you,
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see,
You're just like me.
Violate all the love that I’m missing,
Throw away all the pain that I’m living,
You will believe in me,
And I can never be ignored.
I would die for you,
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I would kill for you,
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I will steal for you,
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I’d do time for you,
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I will wait for you,
(ah ah ah ah)
I’d make room for you,
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I’d sail ships for you,
(ah ah ah ah)
To be close to you,
(ah ah ah ah ah)
To be part of you,
(ah ah ah ah)
Cos’ I believe in you,
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I believe in you,
I would die for you. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/garbage/i_would_die_for_you.html ]
This is a song about an obsessive addictive relationship - no different than an addiciton to crack or smack. Think about a junkie singing about her drug: i will die for you, i will lie for you, i will steal for you, i will cry for you, i will pray for you, i will burn for you, feel pain for you, beg and steal for you, kill for you, do time for you... Exactly what a junkie will do for a fix. This is not about love - it's about self destruction mascarading as love.
