For Love Lyrics

I think this song is about girl who is in a relationship with a guy, and while he loves her, she only thinks she loves him. It’s a facade she’s convinced herself of. She “doesn’t recognize the lies pouring from her lips” and “doesn’t see her own disguise”. This lie doesn’t work, though. The guy knows she doesn’t really love him. He looks into her eyes, and “there’s no connection, just his own reflection”. In the end, the relationship does not last, and neither does her sorrow, as it will fade tomorrow, for it was never really love. She’ll never admit it. She’ll make the fall seem beautiful and tragic, always putting on a show for the crowd, but she was never really present.
