The song Comfortable Love by Keaton Henson tells the story of someone who is struggling with their own self-worth and doubts their ability to be loved. The lyrics express a sense of emptiness and the feeling that there is a "whole lot of nothing" to their personality. The protagonist admits to being in a bad relationship but tells their lover not to be sad because they are surprised that they ever loved them in the first place. They feel like a fraud and worry that they are not living up to the expectations of the people around them. The lyrics also touch on the idea of comfortable love and how it may not be enough for some people. The protagonist wants more than just a comfortable relationship, they want to feel something more intense, such as heartbreak or the excitement of reading about war in the news. Ultimately, the song is about the struggle to find one's place in the world and to accept and love oneself. The protagonist hopes to save their lover but first needs to work on their own issues before they can truly be there for someone else.
