Girl you got a man who is strong, the one who waits forever?
I know it takes so long for both, but no one can hinder
cnd even if he wears a lot of scratch in his heart
But hey! Seriously I'm pretty sure that he will love you
I'm your other half...
Hello there I guess you are the luckiest lady
‘Cause these girls came rushing into him,
But there he is calling you his baby

Mind to care of his hopeful heart?
Too many pains had made it shattered,
But for you he still making it up to fight

Talking to myself in the mirror

So take, take heart you might see him with different ladies, Ohhh
c musician who sings to impress but believe me, only in your arms he would want to rest
Girl you got (got) a man who waits forever even if it takes so long,
When the limelight scene is over,
Everything will be back together

The memories pulling him down, people who promised to stay but left anyway
Can't you see how he moved on? Just to be with you this day
It's not about the things called officially yours
It's more than the mutual things to hold on
Two different world and hindrances, but he'll stay
I choose to be faithful and my choice is you

So take, take heart you might see him with different ladies, Ohhh

When he swears, you know he means it (settle down)
Don't feel insecure ‘cause already have his heart...

So take, take heart you might see him with different ladies, Ohhh

Girl you got (got) a man who waits forever even if it takes so long,
When the limelight scene is over,

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "For You" by Perfect Average introduce a poignant narrative that revolves around a love story intertwined with longing, strength, and the complexities of relationships. The singer addresses a woman who is placed amidst the challenges of loving a man who possesses emotional scars yet remains steadfast. This suggestion of a “strong man” who “waits forever” emphasizes loyalty and the patience required in relationships that face trials over time. The juxtaposition of waiting and the acknowledgment of enduring pain highlights the emotional investment that both parties are making. The singer conveys a sense of assurance that despite the man’s "scratches," suggesting past heartaches, his capacity to love remains undiminished. The assertion "I'm your other half..." hints at a shared connection and a promise of support, suggesting the singer believes in a complementary relationship that transcends personal struggles.

As the song progresses, the themes of devotion and inner conflict continue to unfold. The juxtaposition of the woman's experience of being the “luckiest lady” against the backdrop of distraction from other girls illustrates the complexities of admiration and jealousy that often cloud romantic dynamics. The line “Mind to care of his hopeful heart?” serves as a gentle reminder of the responsibility that comes with love, implying that nurturing a partner’s emotional state is crucial. The subsequent references to pain and shattered feelings subtly portray the man’s resilience and determination to fight for love, indicating that he emerges as someone hardened yet hopeful. This creates a multi-layered characterization of love, emphasizing both the beauty and burdens that come with it. The singer’s recognition of the man's past struggles raises questions about the necessity of shared emotional history in forging strong romantic bonds.

In the chorus, the advice to "take heart" confronts feelings of insecurity and doubt that can arise in relationships, particularly when faced with external temptations or infidelities. The acknowledgment of the man’s interactions with “different ladies” introduces an element of jealousy and vulnerability that many experience in romantic relationships. Yet, in a reassuring tone, the singer emphasizes that the man's genuine desire is to rest and find solace in the woman’s arms, reinforcing the idea that true affection transcends superficial encounters. The recurring notion that "even if it takes so long" encapsulates the essence of perseverance in love, hinting that deep connections often require patience and trust. This message resonates with listeners who might find themselves grappling with uncertainty in their relationships.

The final stanzas emphasize loyalty and commitment in the face of societal pressures, referencing the man's public persona as a “public property.” Here, the singer seeks to uplift the woman by bolstering her confidence, assuring her of the man's sincerity and the authenticity of his feelings. Lines like “When he swears, you know he means it” evoke a sense of reliability and seriousness in his affections, ultimately urging her to trust in their bond. The line “don’t feel insecure” echoes a common motif in relationship songs, where insecurity often threatens to undermine trust. As the song concludes, the implications of fame and external validation are considered, but the steadfast reassurance remains that true love thrives in the aftermath of chaos. The cyclical return to the notion of waiting and coming back together reinforces the theme that, despite trials, the love between the two will endure and surmount challenges, creating a powerful narrative about the triumph of love over adversity.
