I wouldn't die for anything,

For that you can be sure.

I wouldn't die or the mad man,

That came beating down my door.

I wouldn't die for hate or envy,

Especially not for lust.

I wouldn't die for anything,

That's labeled a must.

I wouldn't die for happiness,

I wouldn't die for fear.

I wouldn't die for a priest,

If he ever showed up here.

I wouldn't die for a savior,

Or for my own mother,

I wouldn't die for a killer,

Or to save another.

But that day in the hospital bed,

The day that you were born,

They gave me a decision,

And between two lives I was torn.

So I closed off all my pain,

And I closed off all my fear,

And I told them let me die,

As long as she is here.

On that surgical table,

The anesthesia clouded my mind.

The whole world forgotten,

Not a regret left behind.

The only thing in this world,

That is so right and true .

I wouldn't die for anything,

But I would die for you...
