That's the Way I Feel
Resilience in Heartbreak: That's the Way I Feel by Roger Miller
Lyrics
Did you ever feel unwanted
Expressing a sense of being unwanted or unappreciated.
Kicked around so much you're taunted
Feeling physically and emotionally mistreated or teased.
Heart cries out with so much pain
Heart is filled with intense emotional pain.
Well that's the way I feel
Summarizing the overall emotional state as described.
I loved someone and loved her dearly
Had a deep love for someone.
Spoke sweet words, she didn't hear me,
Expressed affectionate words, but they went unheard.
Left me here heart-sick and lonely
Left alone feeling heartbroken and isolated.
That's the way I feel
Reiterating the emotional state as previously described.
To cry would do no good
Belief that crying won't provide a solution.
I used to think it would
Once thought crying could be beneficial.
But the more I cried
Increasing disbelief or skepticism with each tear shed.
The more I believed here's what I'll do
Planning a new approach to cope with the situation.
Let this feeling have it's day
Allowing the emotions to be acknowledged and expressed.
Maybe it will go away
Hoping that the feeling will eventually fade away.
Maybe I will find another
Remaining open to the possibility of finding a new love.
That's the way I feel
Reiterating the emotional state and the desire for change.
I can't let heartache overcome me
Resisting being overwhelmed by heartache.
Just because of the way she done me
Choosing not to be defined by past mistreatment.
I'll forget I ever loved her, that's the way I feel
Deciding to forget and move on from the previous love.
To cry would do no good
Reiteration of the ineffectiveness of crying in this situation.
I used to think it would
Reflecting on the past belief in the therapeutic value of tears.
But the more I cried
Emphasizing the negative impact of excessive crying.
The more I believed here's what I'll do
Planning a new approach to cope with the situation.
Let this feeling have it's day
Allowing the emotions to be acknowledged and expressed.
Maybe it will go away
Hoping that the feeling will eventually fade away.
Maybe I will find another
Remaining open to the possibility of finding a new love.
That's the way I feel
Reiterating the emotional state and the desire for change.
I can't let heartache overcome me
Resisting being overwhelmed by heartache.
Bust because of the way she done me
Choosing not to be defined by past mistreatment.
I'll forget I ever loved her, that's the way I feel
Deciding to forget and move on from the previous love.
Yes I'll forget I ever loved her, that's the way I feel
A firm commitment to letting go of the past love.
