LYRICS- WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY MEAN??? Asked Again in a Different Way?

Question by : LYRICS- WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY MEAN??? Asked again in a different way?
This song is by Sugarland- she is singing it in front of the mirror… I am trying to figure out what it means…. I am thinking that she is talking about wishing she had herself.. like she lost herself…. what does she have to do to keep herself???? Maybe…… ?

“Lived louder than my voice. Struggled through a stranger.
He loved me until I loved you even more.
It’s a bitter sweet victory.
Lovin’ someone else who wanted me.”

Maybe where she says he loved me until I loved you even more… maybe shes saying that he loved her until she loved herself more??? The reason why shes struggling through a stranger is because she has been so focused on herself? …… or is this simply about another guy? Heres the whole song- whats your opinion.

“Keep You”

We said goodbye. Tried her hand at magic.
But we couldn’t make us disappear.
Not a day goes by I don’t wish I had you.
So run away, I’m glad you’re still here.
It’s a bitter sweet victory.
Lovin’ the ghost in front of me.

Now I can’t laugh, can’t cry.
And I can’t run, can’t hide.
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?

I wrote a couple of notes.
One in love, one in anger.
They’re lying there dying in the dresser drawer.
Lived louder than my voice. Struggled through a stranger.
He loved me until I loved you even more.
It’s a bitter sweet victory.
Lovin’ someone else who wanted me.

Now I can’t laugh, can’t cry.
And I can’t run, can’t hide.
You get used to the pain, and numb to the sting
Till you can’t feel anything.

You tried to explain, but I couldn’t hear it.
As if your words were my tears.
Flowing freely, warm and quiet.
From the edges of my eyes and my ears.
Then all that disappears.

Now I can’t laugh, can’t cry.
And I can’t run, can’t hide.
Now I can’t laugh, can’t cry.
And I can’t run, can’t hide.

What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?

Maybe when she says what do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me is doing it to herself? She cant figure out how to keep from doing this to herself? Or is this about 2 guys?
