More Than a Good Cry
Healing Beyond Tears: Decoding Amanda Stewart's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
I guess you had to go
The person left without explanation.
You're tough to get a read on when you
The person's emotions are hard to gauge.
Didn't leave a note
No communication was left behind.
I'll never know the reasons or when
The reasons and timing of the departure are unknown.
I'll be feeling better
The speaker is uncertain when emotional healing will occur.
Or how it's gonna change
Uncertainty about how the situation will evolve.
It might not take forever
Recovery may not take an eternity.
But sometimes it's gotta break
The process may involve breaking before healing.
It's gonna take more than a good cry
Healing requires more than just crying.
To get the pain out of my mind
Crying alone won't remove the pain from the mind.
It's gonna take not being ok
Accepting the reality of not being okay is essential.
To wake up and be alright
Recovery involves waking up and being alright despite challenges.
I don't know what it looks like but I know it takes more than, more than a good cry
Emphasizes that mere crying is insufficient for recovery.
Trying to turn the page but I don't see you with me in these
Attempting to move on, but the absence is felt in pictures.
Empty picture frames, something's always missing
An emptiness persists, and something is always missing.
And nothing that is given is guaranteed to stay
Nothing given is guaranteed to last, emphasizing impermanence.
Some things worth believing take more than a day
Believing in certain things requires more than a day.
It's gonna take more than a good cry
Reiteration that crying alone isn't sufficient for healing.
To get the pain out of my mind
Pain cannot be completely removed by tears alone.
It's gonna take not being ok
Acceptance of not being okay is crucial for morning recovery.
To wake up and be alright
Healing involves waking up and being okay despite challenges.
I don't know what it looks like but I know it takes more than, more than a good cry
Reaffirms that more than crying is needed for recovery.
I've been wandering around in circles
The speaker feels lost and stuck in repetitive patterns.
Wasting all my tears
Tears have been wasted in aimless wandering.
Oooh I've been wandering around in circles wasting all my tears
Repetition of the wandering and tear-wasting theme.
But it's gonna take more than a good cry
Emphasizes that recovery requires more than just crying.
Oh it's gonna take more than a good cry
Repetition, underscoring the insufficiency of crying alone.
It's gonna take more than a good cry
Reiteration of the inadequacy of crying for complete recovery.
To get the pain out of my mind
Crying alone cannot fully remove the pain from the mind.
It's gonna take not being ok
Being okay with not being okay is essential for morning recovery.
To wake up and be alright
Recovery involves waking up and being alright despite challenges.
I don't know what it looks like but I know it takes more than, more than a good cry
Reaffirms the need for more than crying for complete recovery.
