Girl
Maren Morris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't feel myself right now, maybe I should just lay down
If vanity's my vitamin, well, I don't feel the difference
I don't like myself right now, gotta find a way out
What you feel is natural
But I don't wanna feel this anymore
Pick yourself up off the kitchen floor
Girl, won't you stop your cryin'?
I know that you're tryin'
Everything's gonna be okay
Baby girl, don't you hang your head low
Don't you lose your halo
Everyone's gonna be okay
Baby girl
Draw your comparisons, tryin' to find who's lesser than
I don't wanna wear your crown, there's enough to go around
What you feel is natural (natural)
You don't gotta put up with this anymore (anymore)
Pick yourself up off the kitchen floor (oh)
Tell me, what you waitin' for?
Girl, won't you stop your cryin'?
I know that you're tryin'
Everything's gonna be okay
Baby girl, don't you hang your head low
Don't you lose your halo
Everyone's gonna be okay
Baby girl
Girl, don't hang your head low
Don't lose your halo, don't lose your halo
Girl, don't hang your head low
Don't lose your halo, oh
Girl, don't you stop your cryin'
I know that you're tryin'
Everything's gonna be okay
Baby girl, don't you hang your head low
Don't you lose your halo
Everyone's gonna be okay
Baby girl, won't you stop your cryin'? (Won't you stop your cryin'?)
I know that you're tryin'
Everything's gonna be okay (everything's gonna be okay)
Baby girl, don't you hang your head low
Don't you lose your halo
Everyone's gonna be okay (everyone's gonna be okay)
Baby girl
Everyone's gonna okay, baby
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Hoo hoo hoo, hoo
In this 2019 hit song, Maren Morris sings about the pressures of maintaining a certain image and the toll it can take on a person's mental health. She starts off by describing how negative thoughts are consuming her mind, making her feel insecure and out of touch with herself. She questions whether her focus on physical appearance, or "vanity," is worth the stress it causes her. Despite feeling lost, Morris encourages herself and her listeners to push through the hard times and not give in to feelings of inadequacy.
The chorus shifts to a more encouraging tone, where Morris addresses her listeners, or "girl," and tells them not to despair. She acknowledges the struggles that come with trying to stay strong and looks to reassure those who feel alone that they are not the only ones going through hard times. Morris implores those listening to not lose sight of their worth and to not compare themselves to others. Rather, they should strive to recognize that everyone has their own qualities that make them unique and special.
