I Have a Reason for Living / My Love for You Songtext
von Anita O’Day

First you love me and I let you in
Made me feel like I was born again
You empowered me, you made me strong
Built me up and I can do no wrong

I let down my guard, I fell into your arms
Forgot who I was, I didn′t hear the alarms
Now I'm down on my knees, alone in the dark
I was blind to your game
You fired a shot in my heart

Took me to heaven and let me fall down
Now that it′s over I'm gonna carry on
Lifted me up, and watched me stumble
After the heartache I'm gonna carry on


Living for love
Living for love
I′m not giving up
I′m gonna carry on
Living for love
I'm living for love
Not gonna stop
Love′s gonna lift me up

(Love, lift me up)
Love's gonna lift me up
(Love, lift me up)
Love′s gonna lift me up

I could get caught up in bitterness
But I'm not dwelling on this crazy mess
I found freedom in the ugly truth
I deserve the best and it′s not you

You've broken my heart, but you can't bring it down
I′ve fallen apart, I was lost, now I′m found
I picked up my crown, put it back on my head
I can forgive, but I will never forget

Took me to heaven and let me fall down
Now that it's over I′m gonna carry on
Lifted me up and watched me stumble
After the heartache I'm gonna carry on


I let down my guard, I fell into your arms
Forgot who I was, I didn′t hear the alarms
Now I'm down on my knees, alone in the dark
I was blind to your game
You fired a shot in my heart

Took me to heaven and let me fall down
Now that it′s over I'm gonna carry on
Lifted me up, and watched me stumble
After the heartache I'm gonna carry on

Living for love
Living for love
I′m not giving up
I′m gonna carry on
Living for love
I'm living for love
Not gonna stop
Love′s gonna lift me up

(Love, lift me up)
Love's gonna lift me up
(Love, lift me up)
Love′s gonna lift me up
