[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I climbed across the mountaintops 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 [Chorus] Oh, because even when I was flat broke You made me feel like a million bucks You do I was made for you [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Breakdown] 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 [Chorus] Oh 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 [Outro] Oh yeah, well it's true That I was made for you
