Keep It to Yourself
Sophie Zelmani Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keep it to yourself
You keep it to yourself
It's your treasure
But you're not thinking of my health

Like this morning
Were you dreaming? Was it a night in hell?
It's your burden
But I'm not feeling well

You are gone with your feelings
Are you taking care?
If you're good at what you're doing
It's good that I'm here

You just disappear
You just disappear
It's your talent
But I only get scared

You are gone with your feelings
Are you taking care?




If you're good at what you're doing
It's good that I'm here

Overall Meaning

In Sophie Zelmani's song Keep It To Yourself, the lyrics express the frustration of being in a relationship with someone who keeps their thoughts and feelings to themselves. The opening line, "You keep it to yourself", immediately sets the tone of the song: that the singer is becoming increasingly isolated from their partner due to a lack of communication. The singer recognizes that their partner sees their thoughts and feelings as a "treasure", something precious to be guarded and kept private. But in doing so, the partner is neglecting their own mental health and the health of the relationship.


The second verse adds more weight to the singer's feelings. The lines "Like this morning / Were you dreaming? Was it a night in hell?" imply that the partner may be struggling with their own personal demons. However, as the singer points out, their own health is being impacted by the partner's reticence. The repetition of "It's your burden / But I'm not feeling well" drives home the frustration and anger that the singer is experiencing.


The chorus repeats the idea that the partner is "gone with their feelings" and that the singer is being left behind, feeling scared and alone. The sentiment is softened somewhat with the lyrics "If you're good at what you're doing / It's good that I'm here", indicating that the singer is willing to support their partner through their struggles, but only if there is some level of communication and mutual care.


Overall, Keep It To Yourself is a poignant and relatable song about the difficulties that can arise in a relationship when one partner is unable or unwilling to communicate. It's a reminder of the importance of openness and vulnerability in building and maintaining strong emotional connections.

Keep it to yourself
Don't share your situation with me


You keep it to yourself
You're private about what's going on


It's your treasure
Your feelings are valuable and personal


But you're not thinking of my health
Your actions are affecting me negatively


Like this morning
Referring to a recent time


Were you dreaming? Was it a night in hell?
Asking if you had a nightmare


It's your burden
Your emotions are weighing you down


But I'm not feeling well
Your struggles are impacting me too


You are gone with your feelings
You're consumed by your emotions


Are you taking care?
Asking if you're looking after yourself


If you're good at what you're doing
You're skilled at coping with your emotions


It's good that I'm here
I can support you and be there for you


You just disappear
