Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

Dua Lipa says that "common love isn't for us" to express that the love shared by her and her lover isn't typical or common. It isn't like other people's love stories; it is intenser and more passionate. When someone says that something "isn't for them/her/him/me/you," they are stating that something is ill-suited to that person. Ex: I'm an introvert. Crowded places like shopping centers and bars aren't for me. Ex: I like the small town I live in. Big cities aren't for me.
