Keep You lyrics

the beautyof songs is we can all take them differently.

I had someone who i have loved for a very long time but we just never tried at a relationship. And I left my hometown cause it was so hard for both of us. He died in a scuba diving accident and this song explains everything, the pain of loving the ghost in front of me, Iv written so many notes some angry, some lovely memories. Iv found a Great man who loves me, and wants me, but my love for him just isnt as strong as it is for my past flame, and it explains the loving a stranger only made me love you more. Its a bittersweet victory knowing someone else who wanted me.

You tried to explain it part is the many times i imagine him, and myself trying to explain why all f this could have happened, all the dreams i have of him and were together again, but in the end he dissapears.

You really cant laugh, you cant cry... you just are. After you lose someone you love, you become emotionless...

and all you can do is get use to the pain

My meaning to this comes from a personal experience, this is what this means to me.

Starting off two people have decided that things arent working and they go their seperate ways. Its a good thing and a bad thing together, 'a bitter sweet victory'.

Then it comes to cant laugh, cry, run, or hide because she has no clue what to do now that she is on her own. She is so proud to be by herself and to take care of herself but he can still get to her with his words and his actions. Thats what I get from when it says 'what do I have to do to keep you from doing this to me?'

The notes comes from being so frustrated and also proud of bettering herself but she still has some unresolved issues with him. So instead of confronting him with words, her therapy is writing her emotions down on letters. Then comes another love. This is someone who loves her now, and who has loved her or thought about her over the years. Then it reads 'its a bitter sweet victory', I took this meaning to be that its so exciting to have this new love that has always been in the back of her mind and also the back of his mind, but its been a long road around to get to him. This is new and exciting, just keep her pride.

'You get used to the pain and numb to the sting'...this is if you hear something or live through something long enough then you get used to it. You think that this is normal and everything, then the woman gets out and learn that its not normal.

Then the man tries to explain everything and its too late, the woman does not want to hear it. She does not believe it anymore.

Basically to me this means a man and a woman split after being together. He gets mad and tries to get to her by using words and/or actions. She doesnt understand why he has to get to her like that. She is so proud that she has bettered herself, its just hard because she has been in the relationship so long and does not know any different.

I'm trying to figure this one out...but I'm pretty sure I know what it's meaning is: Let me check it out on ya'll...

I think there was a boy and a girl who got together after being friends; but in the end it just didn't work out -- even though they fell deeply in love with each other. He's there to break up with her.

The girl continues feeling like he will always be a part of her no matter what happens in life. It's bittersweet because she loves the person who has the balls enough to come to her and tell her things are over, yet she looks at him wondering what happened to get them to this point...why does he feel he needs to go? She wonders who he is right then...

Through her fresh emotions she wrote some letters to try to figure out what had gone wrong -- but the letters stay where they are. Finally, another boy comes into her life and he WANTS to love her and she just doesn't know how to let him do just that -- she continues to love her lost love even more.

The girl becomes emotionless because she has no closure from the first boy. She wants to know what happened to make him want to move on. Was it something she had done? Was it something she hadn't done? So many questions and unfortunately ones that can never be answered.

When he came to break up with her. He tried to explain what he felt. But there was no way the girl was listening because she was blind-sided. She had no idea this was coming. He did it as best he knew how -- but it just wasn't enough for her. She was still in love with him. Believe it or not he was still in love with her.

She continues to rack her brain to figure out how she can keep him from breaking her heart.

In the end, though, there's nothing she can do -- what's done is done. He moves on and she's stuck being lifeless and emotionless with a broken heart.
