“Don’t Know How to Keep Loving You” sees Jacklin reluctantly falling out of love with a long-term partner.
In a DIY Magazine interview, Jacklin said this of the song:
“I wrote this basically staring out the window one day in the tour van. I have always loved Fiona Apple’s ‘Not About Love’ and this...
[Verse 1]
I wanna want you, I wanna stay here like this
I wanna feel it all every time that we kiss
I want your mother to stay friends with mine
I want this feeling to pass in time
But you know my body now and I know yours
We put so many things between these walls
And every gift you buy me, I know what's inside
What do I do now? There’s nothing left to find
[Chorus]
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don’t know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
[Verse 2]
What if I cleaned up? What if I worked on my skin?
I could scrub until I am red, hot, weak, and thin
Too tired to run away, what do I do now?
There's nothing left to say
[Chorus]
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
[Verse 3]
Into the darkness, or is it the light?
Should I be waking up, or finding a place to sleep tonight?
Who will I be
Now that you're no longer next to me?
[Chorus]
Don’t know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don’t know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don’t know how to keep loving you
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
Don't know how to keep loving you
Now that I know you so well
I just wanna keep loving you
