Way I Feel
Sarah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All across the universe
Every boy and every girl
Is looking for this thing called love
So why do all the other girls
Got pretty men by their side
Some girls really can't complain

Every night I lay awake and cry
I'm missing someone to stand by my side

I feel lonely
So lonely
Makes me feel so blue
I feel lonely, lonely
You're the only
Makes my dreams come true
I feel lonely
So lonely

It ain't easy to fall in love
So I pray to God above
Lord I need a helping hand
Mr. DJ play my song
I've been lonely all night long
This is my S.O.S. for love

All the time I got it on my mind
Wish for someone to be by my side

I feel lonely
So lonely
You're the only
That makes my wish come true
I feel lonely
So lonely
You're the only
That makes me feel so blue

I feel lonely
So lonely

I feel I feel I feel so low
I feel I feel I feel so low
I feel I feel I feel so lonely boy
I feel I feel I feel so low
I feel I feel I feel so low
I feel I feel I feel so lonely boy

So lonely boy, I feel lonely
So lonely
It makes me feel so blue
I feel lonely
So lonely
You're the only
That makes my dreams come true





I feel lonely, lonely
So lonely

(Ignore this) Lyrics: Little Sara, you're a diamond in the rough
And I know that you don't hear this all enough
And I'm sure that's why your wrists have tons of cuts
And I'm sure that's why you think you're not enough
On your 19th birthday you thought that you were done
Tons of people in your home, but it only felt like one
Cause your brain can only think about the waiting loaded gun
But your friends are all still here, so pretend you're having fun
All your friends they wanna drink cause it's your birthday
But you've been drinking straight probably since last Thursday
Drinking is the only thing that makes you feel just okay
It keeps the trigger finger off the trigger and at bay
Your mind can only think about the things it shouldn't
Your brain is filled with thoughts of wishing that ya didn't
Little Sarah, perk your ears up try to listen
But she can't hear a sound because she's locked in a prison

She can barely see the pavement
She can barely read the signs
People think she's complicated
But never wanna look inside
Cause she's a little too R-rated
And they're a little too damn blind
She's just looking for her angels
But they're a little hard to find

Little Sara, you've been skipping out on class
And any minute now your friends are gonna ask
Why the hell you're always acting sorta sad
And why the hell your weed just never seems to last
But the truth is you don't wanna let your secret out
Cause they think it's wrong for you to take a different route
All except your mom too bad that she's just not around
And don't get me wrong those words you've tried to get them out
But their views been skewed by their plastic news
From their plasma tubes, so they won't fit in your shoes
Except for Sunday blues, but you got Monday blues
And you got Tuesday blues damn every day ya might lose
All your friends they wanna smoke cause it's a Friday
But you've been smoking straight probably since last Sunday
I know you know you shouldn't say that you are okay
But you still look em in the eye and lie then go to use your ashtray

She can barely see the pavement
She can barely read the signs
People think she's complicated
But never wanna look inside
Cause she's a little too R-rated
And they're a little too damn blind
She's just looking for her angels
But they're a little hard to find

Little Sarah, last night you got it bad
In that moment you could barely even add up two or three reasons why you're glad
And I guess that's why you grabbed your pen and pad
It was 6:14 and you could barely even read
All the words you'd written down of why it was time for you to leave
Your phone was on the ground and you could barely hear it ring
Couldn't even hear a sound, couldn't feel a single thing
Now it's 6:15 and you're on your knees, blood is on your sleeves, and your lungs won't breathe
Eyes are watering, body's shivering, and you're wondering what is happening
Now it's 6:23, and they're on their knees, begging Jesus please, can you make her breathe
Cause they finally see what was happening underneath their nose and underneath your sleeves

She can barely see the pavement
She can barely read the signs
People think she's complicated
But never wanna look inside
Cause she's a little too R-rated
And they're a little too damn blind
She's just looking for her angels
But they're a little hard to find

Sad but beautiful song. đŸ˜ąđŸ€— đŸŽ¶
Reminds me of the poem from the book: 📚
“The Perks of Being a Wallflower”

Here's the poem:

Once on a yellow peice of paper with green lines
he wrote a poem
and he called it "chops"
because that was the name of his dog
and thats what it was all about
his teacher gave him an A
and a gold star
and his mother hung it on the kitchen door
and read it to his aunts.
that was the year Father Tracy
took all the kids to the zoo
and he let them sing on the bus
and his little sister was born
with tiny nails and no hair
and his mother and father kissed alot
and the girl around the corner sent him a
Valentine signed with a row of X's
and he had to ask his father what the X's meant
and his father always tucked him in bed at night
and was always there to do it

once on a piece of white paper with blue lines
he wrote a poem
he called it "Autumn"
because that was the name of the season
and that's what it was all about
and his teacher gave him an A
and asked him to write more clearly
and his mother never hung it on the kithcen door
beause of the new paint
and the kids told him
that Father Tracy smoked cigars
and left butts on the pews
and sometime they would burn holes
that was the year his sister got glasses
with thick lenses and black frames
and the girl around the corner laughed
when he asked her to go see santa claus
and the kids told him why
his mother and father kissed alot
and his father never tucked him in bed at night
and his father got mad
when he cried for him to do it

once on a paper torn from his notebook
he wrote a poem
and he called it "Innocence: A Question"
because that was the question about his girl
and thats what it was all about
and his professor gave him an A
and a strange steady look
and his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because he never showed her
that was the year Father Tracy died
and he forgot how the end
of the Apostles's Creed went
and he caught his sister
making out on the back porch
and his mother and father never kissed
or even talked
and the girl around the corner
wore too much make up
that made him cough when he kissed her
but he kissed her anyway
becuase it was the thing to do
and at 3 am he tucked himself into bed
his father snoring soundly

that's why on the back of a brown paper bag
he tried another poem
and he called it "Absolutely Nothing"
because that's what it was really all about
and he gave himself an A
and a slash on each damned wrist
and he hung it on the bathroom door
because this time he didnt think
he could reach the kitchen----
