I Can't Be Myself
Justin Bieber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Be myself with you)
I can't be myself when you're not there, oh-whoa-oh
La-la-la-la-la-la, I feel amazing
How are you? How are you?
La-la-la-la-la-la, ten thousand faces
Still your eyes are the view
What can I do?
When the chances are a billion stars
They can't compare, to you
Nowhere to move
'Cause it's new to me, consuming me
I might be scared of ya, oh yeah
I could travel any place
But without you it's just running around
They could open Heaven's gates
But without I'm just stuck in the clouds
I can't be myself when you're not there
The sweetest dreams turn to nightmares
I can't be myself when you're not there, oh-whoa-oh
La-la-la-la-la-la, I'm talking backwards
High on you, high on you
La-la-la-la-la-la, don't know what's after
But I know it's with you
What can I do?
When the chances are a billion stars
They can't compare, to you
Nowhere to move
'Cause it's new to me, consuming me
I might be scared of ya, oh yeah
I could travel any place
But without you it's just running around
(Girl, I'm just running around)
They could open Heaven's gates
But without I'm just stuck in the clouds
I can't be myself when you're not there (oh)
The sweetest dreams turn to nightmares
I can't be myself when you're not there (be myself) oh-whoa-oh
La-la-la-la-la-la, I feel amazing
How are you? How are you?
I can't be myself when you're not there (no, I can't)
The sweetest dreams turn to nightmares (oh-whoa-oh)
I can't be myself when you're not there, oh-whoa-oh
Oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Be myself with you) whoa-oh-oh
(Be myself with you)
When you're not in my arms
I can't be myself when you're not there
I need you close, whoa-oh-oh
I can't be myself when you're not there
The song "I Can't be Myself" by Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith speaks of a yearning for the presence of a significant other to feel complete. The lyrics convey that the singer feels incomplete and not themselves without their partner's presence. Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith share verses and the chorus in which they express their emotions in a harmonious way. The chorus repeats the phrase "I can't be myself when you're not there" several times, emphasizing the intensity of their feelings towards their partner's absence.
As the singer goes on to talk about how they feel amazing and high when they are with their partner, they also indicate that they cannot find peace without them. Even traveling to new places or opening gates to heaven cannot give them the same feeling, as being with their partner does. The song conveys how the absence of the other person becomes a nightmare and turns sweet dreams into nightmares.
Overall, "I Can't be Myself" portrays a deep attachment with a romantic partner that overshadows everything else, and the need to have them around to truly be themselves.

Even amidst so much beauty, your eyes are what captivate me.
When the chances are a billion stars
Even with infinite possibilities, I choose you every time.

My mind is so consumed with thoughts of you, I can't even speak coherently.
High on you, high on you
My love for you is exhilarating and overwhelming.
Don't know what's after
I don't know what the future holds, but I know I want you in it.
But I know it's with you
No matter what comes next, I want to face it with you by my side.
When you're not in my arms
I need to feel you close to me to be myself.
I need you close, whoa-oh-oh
I can only truly be myself when I'm with you.
