The lyrics to Why Don't We's song For You explore the internal conflict that arises after a relationship has ended. The singer acknowledges that their ex-partner has moved on and found someone better, but they still miss the way things used to be. The singer reflects on their own personal growth since the breakup and admits that they only start to feel crazy when they think about their ex.
The chorus reveals that despite everything, the singer is still willing to be there for their ex-partner, even if they don't want them to be. This sentiment shows the complexity of human emotion and how feelings can still exist even after a relationship has ended. The bridge highlights the singer's confusion about their own emotions, wondering why they still want their ex-partner back when they know that they're not good for them.
Overall, this song is a raw and honest portrayal of the emotional turmoil that can occur after a relationship ends. It shows the difficulty of letting go of someone who was once important to you and the willingness to still be there for them despite the pain they caused.
