The artist reflects on a failed relationship, wondering where things went wrong.

The chorus repeats the question of where they went wrong in the relationship, and they lament over nights spent thinking about their lost love. They express the fear of being hurt again and having their scars exposed. The verses also touch on the pain of being cheated on and lied to, and the frustration of always believing in someone even when they are deceived. The song delves into darker and more explicit themes as the artist talks about contemplating suicide and feeling betrayed by someone close to them. They express anger and the desire for revenge, wishing to inflict physical harm to leave a lasting scar that represents the pain they have endured. Overall, "Die For You" explores themes of heartbreak, vulnerability, mental health struggles, and the emotional toll of toxic relationships. It conveys a sense of despair and a yearning for closure and understanding in the midst of personal turmoil.
