Good Morning Heartache
Rachel Asebido 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
The lyrics of Rachel Asebido's song "Good Morning Heartache" describe the feeling of waking up to the realization that the pain of a lost love is still present. The singer addresses the personification of her heartache, greeting it as an old acquaintance that she thought she had left behind. She expresses her desire to forget about the heartache, but it seems that it has become a constant presence in her life. The singer uses the metaphor of Monday blues straight through Sunday blues to illustrate how her heartache is with her all the time.
The singer's attempts to rid herself of the heartache are futile. She's haunted by her lost love, and it seems like no amount of trying can make it go away. She pleads with the heartache to leave her alone, but it remains stubbornly present. The phrase "Here we go again" is a recurring refrain in the song, emphasizing the cyclical nature of heartache and how it always seems to come back no matter how hard she tries to push it away. The closing line "Good morning heartache, sit down" is a metaphorical way of the singer accepting the presence of the heartache in her life and agreeing to live with it.
