For You
Phora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a long time
Heard it all before
It's a long time
Tell me, is this what you're looking for?
It's a long time
Heard it all before
It's a long time
Tell me, is this what you're looking for?

Yeah
I got too much on my mind
I've been tryna make some time (aye, aye)
For you, for you, for you, you
Yeah, and some people, they never change
But me, I've always been the same (aye, aye)
For you, for you, for you

Damn, I'm still down for you
I'll stick around for you (aye, aye)
For you, for you, for you, you
Yeah, I'm still down for you
I'll stick around for you (aye, aye)
For you, for you, for you

I always drop it down for you
Time to do what we were bound to do
Everything I did surrounded you
That's why you're the one I'm grounded to
Let's just make it, let's just make it
Tryna be your ex is crazy
Tryna to find an exit, baby
Tryna to find the exit
Know that I want you and you want too
And we act like we didn't know
Knowing that we both knew, what we were gon' through
You were going through some other shit
I didn't know
I didn't know
Feelings that I didn't show
Things that I could've did to make this grow, but I didn't
Keep focus, deep stroking
Love smoke inside the air and we keep choking
She got me off it, oh

Damn, I'm still down for you
I'll stick around for you (aye, aye)
For you, for you, for you, you
Yeah, I'm still down for you
I'll stick around for you (aye, aye)
For you, for you (you know)
For you (I got you, yeah), you

Kind of thought that it was time to move on
Time to leave here, like you put your shoes on
The heart is fragile that you left a bruise on
Summer nights and it gets hot as Tucson
Arizona, I was thinkin' on you, had a few Coronas (a few Coronas), yeah
But all you've shown us is you're indecisive
Don't know if you've noticed (don't know if you've you noticed), yeah
I was honest when I looked at you and then I said, "I promise" (then I said, "I promise")
I'll wait the longest if you comin' back because our love's the strongest (straight up), yeah
I'll be here, but I won't wait for too long
My friends don't agree, don't let me get proved wrong
So please say something before we're too gone
Never thought I'd be the one that you would do wrong
Fake love, fake hugs
Numb the pain, take drugs
Light distraction, light buzz (yeah)
We go out (yeah), nightclubs (uh)
Spending money, pay stubs
Anything, to change us
That expression that your face does
When I'm tellin' you how long this wait was, damn

Damn, I'm still down for you
(Some people never change)
I'll stick around for you
(I feel like I always kept it a hundred with you)
(aye, aye) For you, for you
(I mean, tell me if I'm wrong)
For you, you
Damn, I'm still down for you




I'll stick around for you
(For you, for you)

Overall Meaning

In Phora's song "For You," he reflects on a confusing and tumultuous relationship. The repeated phrase "It's a long time, heard it all before" suggests that the relationship has been ongoing for a while, and Phora is feeling tired of the same old struggles. However, he makes it clear that he is still willing to put in the effort for his partner by saying "I've been tryna make some time" and "I'm still down for you, I'll stick around for you."


Phora seems to be trying to make sense of his feelings and the situation, as shown in lines like "Tryna be your ex is crazy, tryna find an exit, baby."

Despite this, Phora is still hopeful and promises to wait for his partner if she comes back.


Overall, "For You" is a heartfelt reflection on the ups and downs of a complicated relationship. Phora's vulnerable lyrics and emotional delivery make the song relatable and memorable to listeners.

So please say something before we're too gone
Please speak up before it's too late


Never thought I'd be the one that you would do wrong
I never expected you to hurt me


Fake love, fake hugs
Our love and affection is insincere


Numb the pain, take drugs
We use drugs to escape our problems


Light distraction, light buzz
We use distractions to avoid confronting our issues


We go out, nightclubs
We party and go to clubs to forget our problems


Spending money, pay stubs
We waste money on temporary pleasures


Anything, to change us
We're willing to do anything to fix our relationship


That expression that your face does
The way you look at me


When I'm tellin' you how long this wait was, damn
When I'm explaining how difficult this has been


For you, you
I'm doing this for you and only you

The heart is fragile that you left a bruise on
Summer nights and think it's hot a Tuscon
Arizona, I was thinkin' you had a few Coronas
But all you've shown us is you're indecisive
Don't know if you've noticed (of course you noticed)
And I was honest when I looked at you and said "I promise"
I wait the longest, and I run it back because our loves the strongest (straight up, yeah)
I'll be here, but I won't wait for too long
My friends don't agree, don't let me get proved wrong
So please say something before we're too long
Never be the one I thought you would do wrong
Fake love, fake hugs, numb the pain, take drugs
Light distraction, light buzz, we got out, nightclubs
Spending money, pay stubs, anything, to change us
That expression that your face does when I'm tellin' you how long this wait was (damn)

Where The Trees Meet The Sunset

There are quite a few parts on Phora’s verse that need to be fixed, man. Otherwise it’s pretty good.
