  • Every night that I held you
    Made heaven from hell, yea
    I did it for love
    Like the change of the season
    You grew cold for that reason
    I did it for love
    And when it all went wrong
    And there's no use hanging on
    I turned and walked away
    Chorus:
    I did it, I did it, I did it for love
    Now you want to know
    Why I let you go
    I did it for love
    Well, I thought that I was tough
    Well, I guess I'm not tough enough
    I didn't do it for the glory
    I did it for love
    When you were lost in the night
    And you feared for your life
    I came running to you
    And as I held you so tight
    You said forever you and I
    But girl, I knew
    And now you stand and you say
    How could I walk away
    I love you too much to stay
    (chorus)
    Oh, I remember how it started
    And we felt so alive
    And the passion was burning inside
    There's a lesson in love
    When the heart grows wild
    Well, I thought that I was tough
    Well, I guess I ain't tough enough
    I did it for love
    Oh, Oh
    I did it, I did it, I did it for love
    Now you want to know
    Why I let you go
    I did it for love Writer/s: BALLARD
