Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent

For You

Posted March 1, 1999 4:25pm ET

Never before have I met someone like you
And when you confuse me I know not what to do
We were so right, could’ve been so much more
But year after year you’d close that door
I tried and tried with all my might
To keep from crying out in the night
For you

For you I would do almost anything
Dance, laugh, maybe even sing
For you I would gladly risk my life
Put myself through pain and strife
For you I would put my feelings aside
Then huddle up and slowly die
And I’d die a happy man
Knowing it was all
For you

Sometimes it seems you’ll rip me apart
Yet I always feel the pain when we part
I wish I knew what I was doin’ wrong
Or that you could teach me a happier song
Girl, there isn’t much I can do
But sit around wanting
For you

For you I would do almost anything
Dance, laugh, maybe even sing
For you I would gladly risk my life
Put myself through pain and strife
For you I would put my feelings aside
Then huddle up and slowly die
And I’d die a happy man
Knowing it was all
For you

Long years ago you stole my heart
With all your beauty, personality, and smarts
You truly are one of a kind
I can’t get you out of my mind
You’re the opposite of run-of-the-mill
And no matter what you do I’ll love you still
Don’t forget that if you ever need me
I’ll still be standing here
Waiting
For you

Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.
