Feel a way
Feel a way
Feel a way
Feel a way
Feel a way
And I won't
The way you stole my heart
Weakening
Couldn't feel my face
All weekend
Got close to talking bout it
Speechless
Cataloging days of your reaches
Can't talk to the pride that you walk in
Every time it comes up
Awkward
Can't find the line
My excuse is I'm working
Was wrong to
Read that diary
And now you're leaving
I should
Feel a way
Feel a way

Feel a way
Feel a way
Feel a way
Feel a way
And I won't
I was putting in more hours
Added more passion
Never disrespected
Or created havoc
Tucked away my ego
To make us epic
The goal was staying equal
Now at bottom of the fridge
With my tears
Starting all over
Was always a fear
I should
Feel a way
Feel a way
Feel a way
Feel a way

Feel a way
Feel a way
And I won't
Learning that misery
Can be a fee
Now I live everyday
As the new me
Learning that misery
Can be a fee
Now I live everyday
As the new me
Learning everyday
That misery
Can be a fee
Now I live
As the new me
Learning that misery
Is a fee
Now I live everyday
A new me
Feel a way
Feel a way
And I wont

The lyrics of Mr. A.L.I. feat. Carla Prather's song The Way are about the mixed emotions that one experiences after going through a heartbreak. The lines “Feel a way” are repeated multiple times, indicating the confusion and the ambivalence of the singer. The first verse talks about how the singer should feel a certain way, but they don’t. Despite the heartbreak, they are not as affected as they think they should be. The second verse talks about the singer’s struggle to come to terms with the breakup. They can’t talk about their feelings as it’s too difficult to discuss, and they struggle to find the right words. They feel like they should feel a certain way but can't bring themselves to do so.
The chorus of the song repeats the same “Feel a way” lines, illustrating the singer’s difficulty in understanding their own emotions. The third verse talks about the singer’s efforts to make the relationship work. They put in more hours, more passion, and even tuck away their ego to make the relationship last. But despite all their efforts, they still end up heartbroken. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that they’ve learned from their heartbreak and are living every day as a new person.
Overall, The Way is a reflective, introspective song that talks about the complexities of navigating through a heartbreak. It acknowledges that feelings are not always straightforward and sometimes, despite our expectations, we don’t feel the way we think we should.
Line by Line Meaning
Feel a way
Experiencing emotions that are difficult to express or describe
I should
I am expected to feel a certain way based on the situation
And I don't
But I do not feel that way
The way you stole my heart
The way you captured my feelings and emotions
Weakening
Feeling vulnerable and powerless
Couldn't feel my face
Overwhelmed to the point of numbness
Got close to talking bout it
Almost had a conversation about this topic
Speechless
Unable to find the right words to express oneself
Cataloging days of your reaches
Remembering the times when your influence was apparent
Can't talk to the pride that you walk in
Cannot communicate with the sense of dignity and self-respect you exhibit
Every time it comes up
Whenever this topic is mentioned
Awkward
Causing discomfort or embarrassment
Can't find the line
Unable to establish appropriate boundaries or limits
My excuse is I'm working
I use my busy schedule as a way to avoid thinking about this
Was wrong to
I regret
Read that diary
I violated your privacy by reading your personal journal
And now you're leaving
As a result of my actions, you have decided to end the relationship
I was putting in more hours
I was working harder and putting in more time
Added more passion
I increased my level of enthusiasm and dedication
Never disrespected
I never showed you any disrespect
Or created havoc
Or caused chaos or disorder
Tucked away my ego
I let go of my own self-importance
To make us epic
In order to create something great between us
The goal was staying equal
We wanted to maintain an even balance or level of importance between us
Now at bottom of the fridge
Now relegated to a forgotten and unimportant place
With my tears
Crying over the loss and pain of the situation
Starting all over
Beginning anew
Was always a fear
I was always afraid of this happening
Learning that misery
Coming to understand that pain and difficulty can teach us important lessons
Can be a fee
Can be a price we pay for our mistakes or actions
Now I live everyday
I now choose to live in each moment
As the new me
As a changed and transformed person
Feel a way
Experiencing difficult or complicated emotions
And I won't
But I am choosing not to feel that way anymore
