 -  -  -  x2 (let it fade)
 All of these lines  across my face
 Tell you the story  of who I am
 So many stories  of where I've been
 And how I got  to where I am
 But these stories  don't mean anything
 When you've  got no one to tell  them to
 It's true...I  was made for you
 I climbed across the mountain tops
 Swam all across  the ocean blue
 I crossed all the lines  and I broke all the rules
 But baby I broke  them all for you
 Because even  when I was  flat broke
 You made  me feel like a million  bucks
 You do
I  was made for you
 You see the smile that's on my mouth
 It's hiding the words  that don't come out
 And all of my friends  who think that I'm blessed
 They don't know  my head is a mess
 No, they  don't know who  I really am
 And they  don't know what
I've  been through like you  do
And  I was made for you...
 All of these lines across my face
 Tell you the story  of who I am
 So many stories  of where I've been
 And how I got  to where I am
 But these stories  don't mean anything
 When you've  got no one to tell  them to
 It's true...I  was made for you
