Keep
Pity Sex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And keep my hand cuz I was born for that.
It's been a long 12 months and I've been living around just fine.
But if you'd hear me out tonight.
Just give it a try.
Maybe it's been too long and I should let go.
Just say my good byes.
But if you'd forget that winter I'd give you my life.
Afraid to die.
It'd be for nothing if I couldn't say I tried.
I'd regret everything if you thought you left my life.
I've been alone a while.
Still want you back by my side.
I'll understand if you would rather leave me behind.
The lyrics to Pity Sex's song "Keep" convey a sense of longing and regret. The first lines, "Keep my heart cuz I don't want it back. And keep my hand cuz I was born for that," express a desire to remain connected to someone despite the pain that it might cause. The singer has been living without this person for a year, but still holds onto the hope that they might reconcile. The line "Maybe it's been too long and I should let go. Just say my good byes" suggests that the singer is aware that holding onto this hope may be futile, but they are not quite ready to give up yet.
The line "But if you'd forget that winter I'd give you my life" implies that there was a particular event or moment that caused the rift between the singer and their partner. This event is significant enough that the singer is willing to sacrifice everything they have for a chance to make things right again. The final lines, "I've been alone a while. Still want you back by my side. I'll understand if you would rather leave me behind," emphasize the singer's vulnerability and the power that the other person holds over them. They are willing to accept rejection if it means being honest about their feelings and intentions.

one of the best love songs i have ever listened to...i love that the lyrics blend so well with sound of the music. so impressive to me that someone was able to make love sound good with so much heaviness on the guitars...

when you read the lyrics this sounds like such an emo song but when you listen to them sung she sounds pretty damn optimistic about the whole thing
