I Still Do Lyrics

I'm not ready for this
Though, I thought I would be
I can't see the future
Though, I thought I could see
I don't want to leave you
Even though I have to
I don't want to love you
Oh, I still do
Need some time to find myself
I wanna live within'
Can I go my own way?
Can I pray my own way?
I don't want to leave you
Oh, I need you
Am I ready for this?
Did I think I would be?
Can I see the future?
No, I can't see
I don't want to leave you
Even though I have to
I don't want to love you
Oh, I still do
Ah-ha-ha-ha
La-la-da-da-da
Ah-ha-ha-ha
I still do
Ah-ha-ha-ha
La-la-da-da-da
Ah-ha-ha-ha
I still do

Life is taking them away from everything they knew as home, the beliefs, values and religion, the childhood ideas of a "good" future, in favour of something undefined, but more specifically urgent.

"Need some time to find myself. I wanna live within. " She loves him and can't tear herself away but she knows she has to... in order to prove to herself that she can and in order to get some space to spend time with herself and do all of that soul-searching stuff. She has to find herself and know she is capable of standing on her own two feet without him.

The way I interpret it, she promised herself to someone and then later found herself growing as a person in a new direction, and growing apart from the other. So even though she loves this person, she has to leave in order to find herself.

Agreed.

Cover art for I Still Do lyrics by Cranberries, The

I think she had a long steady relationship that was getting boring, so she started going out with someone else without any expectations, but she go too involved. “I’m not ready for this Though I thought I would be” Then, she gets mixed feelings and she want to return to the long “safe” relationship, because she doesn’t see a future with the new affair (or is scared about feeling so much). “I can’t see the future Though I thought I could see.” The only way to give a new try to the old relationship is leaving the new guy. “”I don’t want to leave you Even though I have to.” Then even more mixed feelings. Old one? New one? Should/can I be by myself? “I don’t want to love you.” [so she can go back and be okay with the old guy] “Oh I still do” [she wants to be with the new guy, but doesn’t have the balls to leave the old relationship and start a new one with this guy, even though she feels a lot more for the new one] “Need some time to find myself” [third option and probably the best one] So I think this song is about mixed feelings and a confused girl that wants to have the best from both worlds.

The first song on Everybody Else... Powerfully haunting song. The character is questioning her relationship and whether she still loves her partner...and she still does.
