Rhapsody in Blue
Larry Adler Lyrics

Suddenly I'm something I'm not
All of a sudden, I find myself behaving in a way that is not true to who I am.

I'm something that you bought
I feel like my actions are being influenced by someone or something external, not by my own free will.

Was it something I said
I wonder if something I said or did is the reason for my current situation.

Little girl are you tripping on this
Are you struggling to understand what's going on, like a little girl who has fallen down and needs help getting back up?

Are you tripping all over it
Are you having a hard time dealing with this situation and getting tangled up in your emotions?

You better come up for air
You need to take a break from the situation and get some perspective before you get overwhelmed.

Are you waking up slowly
Are you slowly realizing the truth of the situation?

Nothing but lonely
It's a lonely and isolating experience.

Holding, holding your breath
You are trying to hold on and keep yourself together despite feeling overwhelmed.

Are you looking for something
Are you searching for something to make sense of it all?

I promise you one thing
I make a promise to always support you and be there for you.

Baby girl, stand up and fight
Don't let this situation defeat you, stand up and fight back.

This is not some paradise
The situation is not perfect, nor should it be idealistic.

It's just where we live
This is the reality of the world that we live in.

Finally you think you're alright
You've made progress and feel like you have things under control.

Then it eats you up alive
But the situation comes back and consumes you, taking control once again.

You better get used to it
You need to accept the situation and learn to live with it.

With all my faith
I believe in you and have complete trust in your abilities.

And all my heart
I care deeply for you and want the best for you.

And all those simple things you are
I appreciate and love all the small, genuine things that make you who you are.

I know
I am aware of the struggles you face.

It's stuck inside your head
You feel trapped and consumed by the situation, like it's permanently in your head.

You're alone
It can be a lonely and isolating experience.

And I know
I understand your situation.

The feeling has to end
The pain and struggle will eventually come to an end.

You're strong
You have the strength to see this through and overcome the situation.

It sucks you in again
But at times, the situation will come back and consume you again.

And you're lost
You feel directionless and unsure of how to proceed.

You can't make any sense
The situation is confusing and difficult to understand.

This world
The world we live in can be harsh and unforgiving.

It tears you limb from limb
It can completely break you down and consume you.

And hold on
But hold on, because things will eventually get better.

You're nothing but the best
You are capable of overcoming this situation and becoming the best version of yourself.
