How Does It Feel
´óÏÈÉúÀÖ¶Ó(Mr. Big) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I been tired, crucified, yeah!
And I keep on believin' it's all right in my mind
I have tried, but I can't go back to kneeling,
Not this time
We've been dying for too long
You can fight but you're never wrong

[Chorus]
How does it feel when the hurt is on
And the blame is worn on you
How does it feel when your pride is torn,
Your best years are gone and used
How does it feel

I was holdin' on, now I'm leavin'
And there ain't no chance I'm goin' back
Seven years of believing it could change
We keep on holdin' on
You can fight but you're never wrong

How does it feel when the hurt is on
And the blame is worn on you
How does it feel when your pride is torn,
Your best years are gone and used
How does it feel

I don't know where I belong
We still fight but you're never wrong oh
We've been dying for too long,
How does it feel

[Chorus]

How does it feel




How does it feel
How does it feel

Yeah
I gave you more than you wanted
I gave you more than you needed
So tell me, how does it feel
To lose the one you believe in?
I made you drop it on a Tuesday (drop)
I had the popcorn poppin', we made a movie (pop)
So many feelings involved, the way you do me (do)
Tell me, you ready or not? This ain't The Fugees (Fu')
Got one shot to do what it takes (got)
Got no time for no mistakes (mistakes)
I save a lot, 'cause I'm empty (girl)
It shouldn't hurt me, but I let it
Every time you text me
And by the time I reply, it's too late
No, I feel a way, way, yeah (oh)
And I gave you more
I gave you more than you wanted
I gave you more than you needed
So tell me, how does it feel
To lose the one you believe in?
Yeah, see that's the thing about trust
It's never been about us
'Cause we were doin' too much
We threw the racks out at Follies
Gave you the key where my heart beat
You didn't say it, but you said it
It shouldn't have hurt me, but I let it
Every time we're alone now
I feel like pain's all of the same
Now I feel a way, oh
Every time you text me
By the time I reply, it's too late
Something's gettin' in the way
And I gave you more
I gave you more than you wanted
(I gave you more than what you wanted, babe)
I gave you more than you needed (alright)
So tell me, how does it feel (how does it feel, baby?)
To lose the one you believe in?
Pom pom pom pom pom, pom pom pom pom pom
Pom pom pom pom pom, pom pom pom pom pom
Pom pom pom pom pom, pom pom pom pom pom
Pom pom pom pom

Please, let me tell you a story.
A man (let's call him A)loves his friend (let's call him B)so much but B doesn't know that this A loves him so very much. so one day his B got into big big trouble, and he was supposed to die for what he did, but A couldn't bear the thought of seeing his friend that he loved so much die, so A decided to die in the place of B.
A took all of B punishment, and he still did it knowing that B might never know how much A loves him
Crazy right?
Well, A is Jesus and B is you.
Jesus died for you, He took all your punishment
The Bible says in Romans 6:23- "The payment of sin is death"
But, guess what?
1 John 2:2- "He died not only for our sins
but for the sins of the whole world"
Romans 5:8- "God shows His love towards us, in this while we were still sinners, Jesus Christ died for us"
Jesus Christ died for you, fully aware of the facts that you might never know Him, and what He did for you, "That's love"
Jesus Christ loves you❤

Here is the police report from when Chris Brown assaulted Rihanna:

[The incident began when] Robyn F. "found a text message on Brown's cell phone from "a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with."

A search warrant used by police to obtain cell-phone records related to the case included the sworn statement by Los Angeles Police Detective DeShon Andrews in which he detailed what allegedly happened in the early morning hours of February 8.

"Brown was driving a vehicle with Robyn F. as the front passenger on an unknown street in Los Angeles. Robyn F. picked up Brown's cellular phone and observed a three-page text message from a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with.

"A verbal argument ensued and Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against he passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion.

"Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.'s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.

"Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, 'I'm going to beat the sh-- out of you when we get home! You wait and see!' "

The detective said "Robyn F." then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer.

"Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, 'I'm on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.'

"After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, 'You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I'm really going to kill you!'

"Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown.

"Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand.

"Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant, Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street.

"Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.

"Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of 333 North June Street and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it.

"Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.'s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness.

"She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown's body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions.

"Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.'s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order."
