Good Morning Heartache
Griffin Johnny Lyrics

Good morning heartache, you old gloomy sight
Addressing the feeling of sadness that wakes him up every morning and acknowledging how familiar it feels to experience this again and again.

Good morning heartache, thought we said goodbye last night
Expressing a sense of desperation in trying to rid himself of this heartache during the previous night, but knowing it is impossible to escape it completely.

I turned and tossed until it seemed you had gone
Describing the attempt to sleep or forget the heartache, but it still lingers like a shadow.

But here you are with the dawn
Emphasizing how the sadness always returns with the beginning of each day and how this person can't avoid it.

Wish I'd forget you, but you're here to stay
Expressing the desire to move on from the past pain, but recognizing that it has become a part of this person and it is difficult to shake off.

It seems I met you when my love went away
Referring to how the heartache only started after he experienced a heartbreak, and now it has kept this person company since then.

Now everyday I start by saying to you
Highlighting how the heartache has become a significant part of this person's life that he actually acknowledges it every day.

Good morning heartache, what's new
Asking if anything has changed or if the sadness is still the same as it was the previous day.

Stop haunting me now
Showing a bit of frustration and desperation to escape the pain that has been following him wherever he goes.

Can't chase you no how
Suggesting that it's impossible to eliminate the heartache, and no matter how hard he tries to avoid it, it's still there.

Just leave me alone
Expressing the wish that the sadness would let him be, and allow him to move on.

I've got those Monday blues
Referencing the feeling of sadness that you sometimes experience as the week starts and the challenges begin.

Straight through Sunday blues
Suggesting that the sadness follows him throughout the week and even as the week comes to a close.

Good morning heartache, here we go again
Addressing that the sadness will always be present and acknowledging its repetitive cycle.

Good morning heartache, you're the one who knew me when
Acknowledging that the sadness has known him for a long time and has been around since the beginning.

Might as well get used to you hanging around
Admitting that it's useless to try and avoid the sadness anymore, and so he might as well just get used to it.

Good morning heartache, sit down
Accepting that the heartache will always be there, and instead of trying to escape it, it is better to face it head-on.
