You Can Feel Bad
Emotional Liberation: You Can Feel Bad by Moon Racer Unveiled
Lyrics
The car is runnin' and your bags are packed
The car is ready to go, and you're packed to leave.
I guess that says it all
This situation speaks for itself.
Your head is hangin' and you look real sad
You appear sad and regretful.
Maybe you shoud've called
Suggesting that a call before leaving might have been appropriate.
You say you think you need a brand new start
You express a desire for a fresh start.
You're really sorry that you broke my heart
You acknowledge regret for breaking the speaker's heart.
Well I'm not really fallin' apart but baby
The speaker is not completely devastated, but acknowledges the situation.
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
You are allowed to feel bad if it provides some solace.
Picture me cryin' reading all your love letters
Imagining the speaker crying while reading past love letters.
Walkin' around in your old sweaters baby
Picturing the speaker wearing your old sweaters.
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
Reiterating the permission to feel bad for comfort.
Maybe I'll go out tonight yeah I'll paint the town
Contemplating going out and enjoying the night.
And maybe I'll run into you while I'm runnin' 'round
Speculating about a chance encounter during the night out.
There's a good chance I'll be alone
There's a likelihood of being alone.
An even better one that you won't
An even higher chance that you won't be there.
And when it's time for me to go home baby
When it's time to go home, you can feel bad if it brings comfort.
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
Reiteration of the permission to feel bad.
Picture me cryin' reading all your love letters
Imagining the speaker crying over love letters again.
Walkin' around in your old sweaters baby
Picturing the speaker in your old sweaters once more.
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
Permission to feel bad for comfort is reiterated.
If it makes you feel something
If the situation evokes any emotion, it's acknowledged.
Yeah take another look at these tears I'm crying
Encouraging you to notice the speaker's tears, emphasizing personal pain.
They're not fallin' on your shoulders they're fallin' on mine
The tears are not affecting you but are impacting the speaker.
Yeah I've seen this comin' for a long long time
Anticipation of the breakup, suggesting acceptance.
Now I'll be just fine
The speaker asserts they will be fine without you.
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
Reiteration of permission for you to feel bad for your own comfort.
Picture me cryin' reading all your love letters
Imagining the speaker crying over love letters continues.
Walkin' around in your old sweaters baby
Reimagining the speaker in your old sweaters persists.
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
Permission for you to feel bad is repeated.
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
Reiteration of the allowance for you to feel bad.
Picture me cryin' reading all your love letters
Imagining the speaker crying over love letters again.
Walkin' around in your old sweaters baby
Picturing the speaker in your old sweaters once more.
You can feel bad if it makes you feel better
Permission for you to feel bad is repeated.
If it makes you feel something
If the situation elicits any emotion, it's acknowledged again.
If it makes you feel better
Reiteration that feeling bad might bring some comfort.
