I Can't Help Myself
Forbidden Desires: Ronnie Dunn's Struggle with Love's Irresistible Pull
Lyrics
This was wrong, right from the start
This relationship was flawed and problematic from the beginning.
Nothin' more than a one way ticket to a broken heart
It's only leading to heartbreak, with no positive outcome.
Lock me up, throw away the key
Expressing a desire to be confined, suggesting the need to escape the situation.
No matter how you see it, this just can't be
Regardless of perspective, the situation is inherently wrong and untenable.
Well, I know that you belong to someone else
Acknowledging that the person of interest is committed to someone else.
And I try, but I can't help myself
Despite awareness, struggling with an inability to control emotions or actions.
I can see the dark clouds building, building up ahead
Anticipating trouble or challenges in the near future, signified by dark clouds.
The devil singin' like a chorus of angels, messin' with my head
Describing inner turmoil with a metaphor involving the devil and angels.
With all my strength, all my power, I fight the fight
Fighting against the undesirable situation with all available strength and power.
As much as it feels good to us, it's just not right
Acknowledging that even though it may feel good, the situation is morally wrong.
Well, I know that you belong to someone else
Reiterating the understanding that the person is committed to someone else.
I try, but I can't help myself
Despite efforts, unable to resist the emotions or actions associated with the situation.
Well, I know that you belong to someone else
Repeating the realization that the person is in a committed relationship.
I try, but I can't help myself
Continuing to struggle with resisting emotions or actions despite awareness.
Well, I know that you belong to someone else
Emphasizing the knowledge that the person is not available romantically.
I try, but I can't help myself
Persisting in the struggle to resist emotions or actions, despite the challenging circumstances.
