Lyrics
How'd you feel
Feeling
Her only boy has lost control
A mother's son is behaving recklessly
He said I can't hang on anymore
Expressing inability to hold on
They can't relate
Lack of understanding from others
When she's all alone at night
Mother's loneliness during the night
Tells herself her life's a lie
Mother feeling her life is a falsehood
Brutal, but she has to try
Mother facing a harsh reality but persevering
When a mother cries
The emotional impact on a mother
When a mother cries
Reiteration of a mother's emotional distress
I could almost die
Intense emotional response
When I hear her cry
The pain of hearing a mother cry
How'd you feel
Repetition of the initial feeling
If they told you all it takes is time
Imagining being told that time heals
To move on and leave it all behind
Advice to move on and let go of the past
They can't relate
Continued lack of understanding from others
When she's all alone at night
Reiteration of mother's loneliness
Tells herself her life's a lie
Mother questioning her own reality
Brutal, but she has to try
Mother facing a harsh reality and striving to cope
When a mother cries
Reiteration of the emotional impact on a mother
When a mother cries
Reiteration of a mother's emotional distress
I could almost die
Intense emotional response
When I hear her cry
The pain of hearing a mother cry
