It'll Feel Good After It Quits Hurtin'
Healing Heartbreak: Embracing Mama's Wisdom
Lyrics
When you left me you thought I'll die
Expressing the emotional pain caused by the breakup, suggesting the belief that the speaker would be devastated.
Sit at home alone and cry
Anticipating a period of solitude and sorrow after the departure of the significant other.
And it hurts me because that you were right
Acknowledging the accuracy of the ex-partner's prediction about the emotional impact of the separation.
I tell myself that I'll begin to try
Self-encouragement to start the process of healing and moving on.
And forgive you but then I go and cry
Struggling with forgiveness but succumbing to tears at night, indicating ongoing emotional pain.
Myself to sleep at night.
Expressing the emotional distress that persists into the night.
But somethin' that my mama said
Referring to maternal advice that continues to resonate in the speaker's mind.
Keeps goin' around inside my head
The recurring impact of the maternal advice, suggesting its significance.
And if I only knew that it was cool
Reflecting on the possibility that following the advice would have been beneficial.
The time and tears will wash away this hurt
Believing that time and tears will eventually heal the emotional pain caused by the breakup.
I'm still in night and day
Continuing to experience emotional distress both day and night.
And I know that I'll get over you.

Someone said one thing for certain
Referring to a general statement about the eventual relief from emotional pain.
It'll feel good when it quits hurtin'

And you know that mamas always lie
Casting doubt on the truthfulness of maternal reassurance, suggesting skepticism about the promised relief.
And if this hurt will go away
Expressing the conditional hope that the pain will diminish, bringing a positive emotional change.
then I'll feel good again someday
Connecting the alleviation of pain with the possibility of feeling good again in the future.
And I won't ever want you by my side.
Declaring the speaker's intention to move on and not desire the ex-partner's presence.
And now you've spreaded all around
Describing the spread of information about the breakup and its emotional impact.
Just how you tore my playhouse down
Highlighting the destruction of the speaker's emotional sanctuary caused by the ex-partner.
And that's because you broke my heart in two
Attributing the heartbreak to the ex-partner, emphasizing the emotional pain inflicted.
You think that love was fun and game
Accusing the ex-partner of treating love as a game without remorse.
And you don't even feel the shame
Indicating the ex-partner's lack of guilt or remorse for causing emotional pain.
But someday it may all come home to you.
Warning that consequences may catch up with the ex-partner in the future.
And now you think you're flyin' high
Observing the ex-partner's perceived arrogance and lack of concern for the speaker's efforts.
And you don't care how much I try

What goes up will come back down someday
Conveying the idea that actions have consequences and success may be followed by failure.
And if my mama's words are true
Reiterating the potential truth in maternal advice, suggesting the eventual end of love for the ex-partner.
But then I won't be lovin' you

And I'll be glad I heard my mama say.
