I know your road
Every step you'll take
Your bottled fears and voids
Stones you'll push away
Without ever thinking that
Like rock I return to you
I know your breaths
Everything you don't want
You know well you don't live
You can't admit it
And it'd be as if
This sky on fire
Fell back on me
Like scenery on an actor
For love
Have you ever done anything
Just for love
Have you ever challenged the wind and screamed
Split your very heart
Paid and bet again
Behind this obsession
That stays only mine?
For love
Have you ever run breathless
For love
Lost and started over?
And you gotta say it now
How much of you you've put in
How much you believed
In this lie
And it'd be as if
If this raging river
Rose back to me
Like ink to its painter
For love
Have you ever spent everything
Reason
Your pride up to tears?
You know tonight I'm staying
I've got no excuse
Just an obsession
That stays strong and mine
Inside this soul you tear away
And I'm telling you now
Honest with myself
How much it costs me
Not knowing you're mine
And it'd be as if
If all this sea
Drowned in me

SONG MEANING

Per Amore (For Love) is Andrea Bocelli’s heartfelt confession of just how far someone will go when genuine passion takes hold. The narrator speaks as if he knows every hidden corner of his lover’s life, from her private fears to the stones she kicks aside on her journey. He keeps asking one burning question: Have you ever done something purely for love? Each vivid image — challenging the wind, running breathless, gambling pride, even drowning in a sea of emotion — paints the extremes of devotion he is willing to face.

Behind the soaring melody lies a tug-of-war between vulnerability and determination. The singer admits that calling these sacrifices a “mania” may sound irrational, yet the power of love makes the impossible feel natural. He stays, without excuses, hoping she will recognize the depth of his feelings before the weight of unshared love breaks him. By the end, listeners feel both the grandeur and the ache of a love so intense it threatens to consume everything in its path.
