Keep Myself
Navigating Love's Paradox: Embracing Independence Amidst Togetherness
Lyrics
How can I be alone so well until
Feeling comfortable being alone until a memory of being loved resurfaces.
I remember what it is like to be loved
Recollection of what it feels like to experience love.
Then I lose all my independence
Sense of losing personal freedom or self-reliance.
Why can't I keep myself when I'm with her
Questioning the inability to maintain personal identity while in a relationship.
I always think that I am strong enough
Belief in personal strength but feeling challenged when part of a couple.
To keep up my identity when I am one of two
Struggle to preserve individuality while being in a romantic partnership.
Then I lose all my independence
Reiteration of the loss of personal autonomy.
Why can't I keep myself when I'm with her
Questioning the difficulty of maintaining personal identity within the relationship.
I must find a way to compromise and be at once in a pair and on my own
Seeking a compromise between being part of a pair and retaining individuality.
In the moment it always seems I have it down-but I don't
Feeling capable in the moment but ultimately unsure about achieving this balance.
I'd like to keep my independence
Desire to maintain personal freedom and self-sufficiency.
Why can't I keep myself when I'm with her
Questioning the struggle to maintain oneself while in a romantic relationship.
When will I know that it's been long enough to
Questioning when one will recognize if they've achieved a balanced perspective after some time has passed.
Figure out if I have reached a
Contemplating the time required to assess if a balanced viewpoint has been attained.
Balanced point of view
Desire for equilibrium between conflicting aspects.
I'd like to keep my independence
Reiteration of the wish to preserve personal autonomy.
How can I keep myself
Questioning how to maintain personal identity while in the relationship.
I'd like to keep my independence
Reiteration of the desire to retain personal freedom.
How can I keep when I'm with her
Questioning the challenge of maintaining oneself while being with the partner.
