𝚂𝚈𝙽𝙾𝙿𝚂𝙸𝚂
in lost me, kevin is saying explicitely that in this moment of his life he's not looking for a serious relationship. he's talking with the girl he is dating, and he's being truly honest: she better not fall in love with him, and most important, she better not expect love from him. because it's not the right moment for him to commit in this direction.
———WE CAN KISS, we can touch and do it often.
———BUT IF YOU'RE here lookin' for love, that's when you lost me.
the reason why kevin is living this special moment of his life is related to the disappointments he had in his previous relationships. he got hurt many times. and right now he prefers to no longer get emotionally involved. it's his way to protect his heart from more pain.
———I'M NOT LOOKIN' for the one later, but for now i'm havin' fun.
———I'M DONE 'CAUSE i always get hurt. won't be here for long.
———BABY, YOU CAN hate me if you want. but now, i gotta put myself first.
we all had a moment on our life where we need to focus on ourselves and we prefer to not get involved in a romantic relationship. in kevin's case, he still meets girls that like him and want to have some private moments with him. this makes it difficult for him.
and while catching the opportunity for a more intimate contact with her, he's still honest with her and tells her explicitely: he won't be here forever, and he won't get emotionally involved in this moment. maybe in the future it could be different, but not now.
getting at the bottom of the feelings and pain, through lost me kevin is unveiling something that lives deep inside his heart: he's afraid to fall in love again, because he doesn't want to get hurt again. his current solution is to just have fun, with no romantic bonds.
he's aware that this can hurt the other, and he accepts to be hated for this. but this is the way he is right now. aware that it's just a phase, and it will change. and this fits the words his mother told him.
———NO MATTER HOW good you think somebody is. always protect your heart.
———THERE'S NO SUCH thing as a perfect relationship. 'cause there's no such thing as perfect people.
