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.
