Nothing for Love
V.Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I let my highlights grow out like for 6 months
That has nothing to do with the song does it?
Start over I used to think that one day I would find love, yea, (right?)
And just like cinderella it be too good to be (true... True story me though)
Cuz who could love me if they saw who I was (probably nobody)
And if they love me then it must be too good to be (true)
So grab somebody's hand tonight, tonight
Tell 'em that its gonna be alright
You've just gotta come through as you are
He don't care how bad you think you are
Hands up singin', oh
Hands up singin', oh
Its nothing for love
I used to think that one day
I would become (perfect... I think... Perfect yea)
And maybe then
I'd finally be good enough to be... (good)
Like God was waiting for that day To come (made sense to me then)
But I know now he doesn't care About that stuff (he cares about you)
So grab somebody's hand tonight, tonight
Tell 'em that its gonna be alright
You've just gotta come through as you are
He don't care how bad you think you are Hands up singin', oh
Hands up singin', oh Its nothing for love Live, laugh, love
Thats what we say in america
Happily forever after endings
Thats whats hot and trendy
And you're not on the right plane
Unless you're on board with us
Unless you've grown bored with us
Does this thing fly? Of course it does
Livin' outta my suitcase
Runnin' outta my travel toothpaste
I reach down and tie my shoelace
I catch this plane before its too late In every way I am not perfect
I eat ice cream before dessert and




I don't worry 'bout the rest cuz
Its nothing for love Its nothing for love

Overall Meaning

The song "Nothing for Love" by V.Rose is about the struggles of finding love and self-acceptance. The opening lines of the song are seemingly irrelevant to the theme of the song, but it reveals the artist's vulnerability and honesty. She then admits to thinking that finding love would make her life perfect, just like Cinderella, but she realizes that no one could love her if they really knew who she was. She struggles with the idea that love is only for those who are perfect, and tries to become what she thinks God expects from her. But she finally understands that God loves her just as she is, imperfections and all. The song urges listeners to let go of their insecurities and embrace self-love because nothing can come between someone who loves you unconditionally.

And just like Cinderella it woule be too good to be (true... true story, me though)
Cuz who could love if they saw who I was (probably nobody)
And if they love me it must be too good to be (true)
