For My Sake Lyrics

I remember like yesterday
You had a dream in your eyes
And a smile on your face

    I think this is about a dramatic, desperate girl who is trying to keep a relationship going just for the sake of a relationship. Even if there's no love left, she still trying to hold on. She makes a scene when he tries to break up with her, but he stays strong and tells her no. He is just tired of an empty meaningless relationship and wants out. He tries to do this gently, but she senses weakness, which causes him to get firmer with her, and eventually the relationship ends.
