For You
Love's Desperation: A Journey of Sacrifice and Longing
Lyrics
Was I out of my mind when I fell in love with you?
Questioning the rationality of falling in love
In my right mind, you wouldn't expect me to be so naïve.
Not expected to be naive if in the right state of mind
But again, I was lost and kind of desperate for love
Admitting feeling lost and desperate for love
In spite of the pride I took in my loneliness.
Despite taking pride in being alone
“So go fuck your ideals and to hell with your fears,”
Rejecting someone's ideals and fears
That's what you would've told me.
Imagining what the person would say in response
So to hell with my music into hell with my friends: that's what I would've done.
Willingness to sacrifice music and friendships
If I knew it were for you
Expressing a willingness to act for the person
I would've done it in a heartbeat, that's true.
Ready to act immediately if it's for the person
For you.
Reiterating readiness to act for the person
Every night I keep falling in love with you.
Continuously falling in love with the person every night
Nothing changes no matter what I do.
Feeling that nothing changes despite efforts
Just let me leave.
Requesting permission to leave the situation
But our story is set, there ain't no time to regret.
Expressing frustration at attempting to forget
Fuck, if you try to forget.
Warning about the memories coming back despite efforts to forget
It'll come back to you again.
Reiteration of the persistence of memories despite attempts to forget
