 Especially in lyrical pieces, the metronome can be a really helpful tool for learning how to play flexibly but still with structured phrasing. A common problem is that as we get emotional with the music(a good thing!), we easily get bogged down by some small details. We slow down and the music loses coherence. Try practicing with a metronome and focus on doing rubato BETWEEN the beats without losing the main pulse. It's actually most wonderful if you're sometimes off but then manage to be in sync again with the original pulse. That's the dancing!
Remember that only setting boundaries will allow you to discover freedom.
