Discover the story of the song > I Don’t Trust Myself (With Loving You) – John Mayer

The protagonist warns his partner that he's not the same person he used to be and that his past may be an indication of her future with him. He admits that he keeps going back to her even though he knows he shouldn't, and asks her if she loves him or just the idea of him. The chorus repeats the message that he doesn't trust himself with loving her and advises her to hold on to whatever will help her get through.
