What's It All For?

[Verse 1]
The last time you kissed me, we stood at your door
I could taste on your lips you were promisin’ more
How can you love someone ’til you don’t anymore?
Oh, if that’s all there is, then what’s it all for?
Why have a family if that ain’t what you want?
Why have a child you don’t know how to love?
I’ve asked all of these questions and I still got more
Oh, if that’s all there is, then what’s it all for?

[Chorus]
What’s it all for? What’s it all for?
If I ever knew, well, I don’t anymore

[Verse 2]
You stand at the gates at the end of your time
And stretched out before you are scenes from your life
All that sweet, simple pain and the cold, bitter joy
Oh, if that’s all there is, then what’s it all for?

[Outro]
Yeah, I’ve got so many questions, but will you spare me one more?
Oh, if that’s all there is, then what’s it all for?
