Can't Help Myself
Unraveling Heartstrings: A Tale of Forbidden Longing
Lyrics
I saw you out but I pretend I didn't see you with her
I noticed you with someone else, but I acted as if I hadn't seen you.
Not saying I want you back cos we left it where the spark had burnt
I'm not expressing a desire to reconcile because our relationship ended when the initial attraction faded.
We talked for hours and I was gonna move in
We conversed extensively, and I had intentions to move in with you.
But in the end you didn't want this
Ultimately, you didn't desire the same thing.
I kissed you but I didn't think it would be our last goodbye
I kissed you without thinking it would be our final farewell.
And now I'm left here all tongue-tied
Now, I feel unable to express myself adequately.
Tryna see the light through blurry eyes
Trying to find clarity despite feeling emotional.
I still kept your shirt but it won't help me forget
I still have an item of your clothing, but it doesn't help me move on.
If I had the chance I'd come running back again
If given the opportunity, I would return to you.
Your no good for me I know this won't end well
I recognize that being with you is not beneficial for me and will likely end poorly.
But oh my god I just can't help myself
Despite knowing it's not good for me, I'm irresistibly drawn to you.
I ignored my friends but once again they proved me wrong
I disregarded the advice of my friends, who were right once again.
They know what's best for me
They understand what's best for me.
Know where I belong
They know where I truly belong.
What if it's the case of wrong time and wrong place?
Considering the possibility that our timing and circumstances weren't right for a relationship.
We could meet again and re-write our story
There's a chance we could meet again and start anew.
I kissed you but I didn't think it would be our last goodbye
Similar to line 5, expressing the unexpected finality of a goodbye after a kiss.
And now I'm left here all tongue-tied
Feeling unable to articulate my feelings.
Tryna see the light through blurry eyes
Struggling to see things clearly due to emotional turmoil.
I still kept your shirt but it won't help me forget
Continuing to hold onto a piece of your clothing, but it doesn't aid in forgetting.
If I had the chance I'd come running back again
Expressing a willingness to return if given the chance.
Your no good for me I know this won't end well
Recognizing that being with you is not a positive choice for me.
But oh my god I just can't help myself
Despite knowing it's not beneficial, I'm irresistibly drawn to you.
But oh my god I just can't help myself
Reiteration of the struggle between desire and reason.
I still kept your shirt but it won't help me forget
Repeating the idea that keeping your shirt doesn't aid in moving on.
If I had the chance I'd come running back again
Expressing a willingness to return to the relationship.
Your no good for me I know this won't end well
Understanding that the relationship's outcome won't be positive.
But oh my god I just can't help myself
Despite knowing it's not beneficial, I'm irresistibly drawn to you.
But oh my god I just can't help myself
Reiteration of the struggle between desire and reason.
