Good Morning Heartache
Natasha Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Good morning heartache, thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seemed you had gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I'd forget you, but you're here to stay
It seems I met you when my love went away
Now everyday I start by saying to you
Stop haunting me now
Can't chase you no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues
Good morning heartache, here we go again
Good morning heartache, you're the one who knew me when
Might as well get used to you hanging around
Good morning heartache, sit down
Stop haunting me now
Can't chase you no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues
Good morning heartache, here we go again
Good morning heartache, you're the one who knew me when
Might as well get used to you hanging around
Good morning heartache, sit down
Natasha Miller's song "Good Morning Heartache" is a powerful expression of the overwhelming weight and persistence of heartbreak. The lyrics begin with an almost resigned greeting to the titular feeling, acknowledging its ever-present influence with a sense of dread. Despite attempting to forget or distance themselves from heartache, the singer cannot escape its grasp – it lingers through the night and returns with the morning light.
The second verse speaks to the initial cause of the heartache, suggesting that it appeared when the singer's love departed. From this point on, heartache becomes a constant companion, with the singer addressing it each day as they wake up. The song's refrain is both a plea and a command, expressing the singer's desperation to be free from the pain that they cannot seem to shake off.
