Feel Good
SayGrace Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You look so deep on the surface
So I let you get away with murder, baby
I was so sure I could save you
But now I can′t remember why I tried to

Not the little kid that you used to know
Not the little girl who's hope you broke
Bet you tell people it was all my fault

Saying, "That Grace, she emotional"

All of my friends say, "I told you so"
All of that pain situational
Told me that without you I′d fall apart
So I took all your words, put 'em into art
Wonder, wonder, wonder if you always knew
I'd be better done-da, done-da, done-da, done-da, done with you

You look so deep on the surface
So I let you get away with murder, baby
I was so sure I could save you
But now I can′t remember why I tried to

′Cause you don't make me
You don′t make me feel good (feel good)
'Cause you don′t make me
You don't make me feel like you used to
You don′t make me
You don't make me feel good (feel good)
'Cause you don′t make me
You don′t make me feel like you used to

Took a long time to get comfortable
Still learned to stand up tall on my own
Loosen that grip, girl, deal with it
Gotta handle that real world, grown up shit

And go solo
I know that you're scared, you don′t know
The when or the where to go, go
All that you know is to yell, "Goodbye"
Hmm, hmm

You look so deep on the surface
So I let you get away with murder, baby
I was so sure I could save you
But now I can't remember why I tried to

′Cause you don't make me
You don′t make me feel good (feel good)
'Cause you don't make me
You don′t make me feel like you used to
You don′t make me
You don't make me feel good (feel good)
′Cause you don't make me
You don′t make me feel like you used to

Not the little kid that you used to know
Not the little girl who's hope you broke
Told me that without you I′d fall apart
So I took all your words, put 'em into art
Wonder, wonder, wonder if you always knew
I'd be better done-da, done-da, done-da, done-da, done with you

′Cause you don′t make me
You don't make me feel good (feel good)
′Cause you don't make me
You don′t make me feel like you used to
You don't make me
You don′t make me feel good (feel good)
'Cause you don't make me
You don′t make me feel like you used to

You don′t make me feel like you used to

(Feel good)
You don't make me feel like you used to
