Lyrics of 'A Song For You (Once Beaten Black And Blue)' by Tourism

There's something we could be doing
Like searchin for murder clues
Did you look beyond the fields
Out where the young men yield
And there's a lad with an axe
Who sits still as wax
You see him right away
And I said time and time again
That you'll never find a friend
Not now you're crazy
Learn how to treat your lady

What would you say to a man if he tried to kill you with his hands?
Would you tell him you love him, or even try to hug him?
And you can see the pain in his eyes
That's he's witnessed a million crimes
And heard thе women cry, how they don't wanna die
But you can tеll that he's lost love cause he's not always been a thug
Well those days are over
Get close enough he'll show ya

But I won't let you get me down, no I won't let you get me down

They're all as good as dead as you can't
Live without your head
And tie them up by their hands
And make your wish their commands
And his crimes were so obscene as they have made a massive scene
You could nearly scream
And it could be my heartbreak but I swear that I felt the ground shake
Must be an earthquake
Each one of his mistakes

What would you say to a man if he tried to kill you with his hands?
Would you tell him you love him, or even try to hug him?
And you can see the pain in his eyes
That's he's witnessed a million crimes
And heard the women cry, how they don't wanna die
But you can tell that he's lost love cause he's not always been a thug
Well those days are over
Get close enough he'll show ya

Would you attempt to take his side if it means you would survive?
But it's not too easy
To escape the face of crazy

I could see him comin
Should've started off by running
Cause he doesn't have the kindest heart
His eyes might say hello
But his fists will give a blow
I'll clench my five, run back and fight

What would you say to a man if he tried to kill you with his hands?
Would you tell him you love him, or even try to hug him?
And you can see the pain in his eyes
That's he's witnessed a million crimes
And heard the women cry, how they don't wanna die
But you can tell that he's lost love cause he's not always been a thug
Well those days are over
Get close enough he'll show ya

And this is a song for you
Once beaten black and blue
But he still loves you
And girl he wants to hold you at night
