Anything for You
Unveiling Heartache: A Desperate Promise in 'Anything for You'
Lyrics
Anything for you
Expressing a willingness to do anything for the person addressed.
Though you're not here
Acknowledging the absence of the person being referred to.
Since you said we're through
Reflecting on the declaration of the end of the relationship.
It seems like years
Describing the feeling that time seems to pass slowly since the breakup.
Time keeps draggin' on and on
Highlighting the dragging and seemingly endless nature of time.
And forever's been and gone
Expressing a sense of time passing without the desired reconciliation.
Still I can't figure what went wrong
Expressing confusion about what went wrong in the relationship.
I'd still do anything for you
Reiterating the willingness to do anything for the person despite the breakup.
I'll play your game
Acknowledging engagement in a challenging relationship game.
You hurt me through and through
Conveying the emotional pain caused by the person's actions.
But you can have your way
Granting the person their way despite the hurt caused.
I can pretend each time I see you
Acknowledging the act of pretending when encountering the person.
That I don't care and I don't need you
Expressing a facade of not caring and not needing the person.
And though you'll never see me cryin'
Noting that outwardly, there are no visible tears.
You know inside I feel like dying
Revealing inner emotional pain despite the external composure.
And I'd do anything for you
Reiterating the willingness to go to great lengths for the person.
In spite of it all
Despite challenges, indicating learning and growth from the relationship.
I've learned so much from you
Expressing gratitude for the strength gained from the person.
You made me strong
Affirming love despite the difficulty of the situation.
But don't even think that I don't love you
Reassuring that the love for the person remains.
That for one minute I forgot you
Asserting the constant remembrance of the person.
But sometimes things don't work out right
Acknowledging the inevitability of things not working out as planned.
And you just have to say goodbye
Recognizing the need to say goodbye to the relationship.
I hope you find someone to please you
Wishing the person well in finding happiness with someone else.
Someone who'll care and never leave you
Expressing hope for the person to find a caring and enduring relationship.
But if that someone ever hurts you
Acknowledging the possibility of the person facing hardships in a new relationship.
You just might need a friend to turn to
Offering support as a friend in case the person needs assistance.
And I'd do anything for you
Reiterating the willingness to do anything for the person, even as a friend.
I'll give you up
Expressing a willingness to let go if it brings happiness to the person.
If that's what I should do
Indicating a willingness to sacrifice personal feelings for the person's happiness.
To make you happy
Expressing the desire to make the person happy, even at personal cost.
I can pretend each time I see you
Reiterating the act of pretending not to care when encountering the person.
That I don't care and I don't need you
Maintaining the facade of not needing the person emotionally.
And though inside I feel like dying
Despite inner turmoil, concealing emotions from the person.
You know you'll never see me cryin'
Assuring that the person won't witness visible signs of emotional distress.
But don't even think that I don't love you
Reaffirming constant love for the person despite outward appearances.
That for one minute I forgot you
Asserting the continuous remembrance of the person, even if momentarily forgotten.
But sometimes things don't work out right
Recognizing the reality that relationships may not always go as planned.
And you just have to say goodbye
Acknowledging the necessity of saying goodbye to move forward.
