For a song to mean a thing Please forget about yourself Please forget about the healing or the pain And let the song may ever find its place For a song to mean a thing Please don't call her home by night Don't say you love her if you don't Don't wipe her tears if you ain't crying while she cries For a song to mean a thing Try to picture your smile on a frame But don't try to tame it, it won't belong to you For a song to mean a thing Stay this quiet like me and maybe I'll be up to sing it to you like: One song was a piece of my heart One song was the shape of your smile One song was last night When you told me, "could you live in my eyes?" One song was better not telling One song was a matter of time ♪ But a song can save a life ♪ For a song to mean a thing Love me, but leave me, like that And I will spend my life just thinking That if I write the song you're missing you'll be back This was the song to bring you back For a song to mean a thing, I was telling myself I was homesick Fuck I should know it That home is when I'm with you For a song to mean a thing I'll stay this quiet like this so maybe I'll be up to sing you like: Come, and lay all your harm on me Though you know I ain't got much to give A song should be always complete One song was a piece of my heart One song was the shape of your smile One song was the last night When you told me, "could you live in my eyes?" One song was better not telling One song was a matter of time Ooh... One song was a piece of my heart One song was our shape of your smile One song was the last night When you told me, "could you live in my eyes?" One song was better not telling One song was a matter of time Mmm oh But a song can save a life But a song can save a life
