Lyrics
Times can be so rough
Times can be difficult and challenging.
But you gotta put on a smile
Despite hardships, you're expected to wear a smile.
Isn't it what you've been told all your life
Society teaches the expectation of always putting on a happy face.
Clouds cry when the skies disappear
Symbolic reference to rain when the sky becomes cloudy.
My heart dies a little every time you're near
Feeling emotional pain when in close proximity to someone.
Am I ok? Is that what you wanna know?
Questioning personal well-being and whether others are concerned.
Then I think it's time for you to go
Implying a need for the person to leave for personal reasons.
And I just wanna feel better
Desire to experience an improvement in emotional state.
Feel better
Reiterating the desire to feel better emotionally.
Feel better tonight
Desiring emotional relief specifically for the current night.
Oh let me feel better
Expressing a strong wish to feel better emotionally.
Feel better
Re-emphasizing the desire to feel better emotionally for the night.
Feet better tonight
Wanting relief for the feet, possibly symbolizing exhaustion or weariness.
Head help up high I dare death to die
Asserting confidence despite facing death or danger.
Swimming right past the ocean
Metaphorical imagery of overcoming immense challenges.
The depths all out of sight
Describing the depths of difficulty being hidden.
Clouds cry when the skies disappear
Repetition of the earlier symbolic reference to rain when the sky is cloudy.
My heart dies a little every time you're near
Continued emotional pain when close to someone.
Am I ok? Is that what you wanna know?
Repeating the questioning of personal well-being and concern from others.
Then I think it's time for you to go
Reiterating the need for the person to leave for personal reasons.
And I just wanna feel better
Repetition of the desire to experience an improvement in emotional state.
Feel better
Restating the wish to feel better emotionally.
Feel better tonight
Emphasizing the desire for emotional relief for the current night.
Oh let me feel better
Expressing a strong wish to feel better emotionally.
Feel better
Re-emphasizing the desire to feel better emotionally for the night.
Feet better tonight
Reiterating the need for relief for the feet, possibly indicating weariness.
Clouds cry when the skies disappear
Repetition of the earlier symbolic reference to rain when the sky is cloudy.
My heart dies a little every time you're near
Continued emotional pain when close to someone.
I'm not okay
Admitting personal struggle and not being okay emotionally.
No you don't wanna know
Declining to disclose personal emotional status to someone.
Feel better
Repeating the desire to feel better emotionally.
Feel better
-Feel better
-Tonight
Reiteration of the wish to feel better emotionally for the night.
