Feeling Better
Sugar Lyrics

You can walk away
You can leave, but you won't forget what was said

But you can't forget what was said
Leaving won't erase what has been said

And I can run away
I can avoid the problem by hiding from it

Pull the covers over my head
By hiding in bed or under covers, I try to run from the conflict

Try to get away but I fall back again
I try to distance myself from the problem, but I always end up back in it

I get up off the floor I'm coming back for more
Though I get knocked down by the problem, I always try to stand up and face it again

(you need it you get some hate You found it but it's too late)
Refers to the idea that once you get caught up in something, it's difficult to break away from it

Try to wear a smile and brush it all aside
I try to fake happiness and ignore the problem

I'm starting over now I'll try to sort it out somehow
I'm trying to start afresh and find a solution to the problem

(hope you're feeling better I'm not bitter yet/ you're fading through the years)
The artist is providing well wishes to someone, though the artist is still struggling to come to terms with things

I guess that I should stay
The singer feels obligated to stick around, even though things aren't going well

Stay around like I always do
The artist tends to stay in a given situation, even when it's not healthy

'cause if I ran away
There's nowhere else to go

There's no place I'd be going to
There's no alternative or escape

More than anything I want to work it out
The singer is desperate to find a resolution

It's never easy when you're falling down again
It's difficult to deal with a recurring problem

(you need it you get some hate You found it but it's too late)
Refers to the idea that once you get caught up in something, it's difficult to break away from it

I keep breaking down it's more than I can take
The problem keeps wearing the singer down

You pull me off the floor I'm coming back for more
Someone is providing support for the singer, who is ready to tackle the problem once again

(hope you're feeling better I'm not bitter yet You're fading through the years)
The artist is expressing hope for someone, but also acknowledging the passage of time and the difficulty of moving on

Where in the hell do you think you are
A rhetorical question, challenging someone's beliefs or ideas

And who ever thought you'd get this far
A rhetorical question suggesting that someone has come farther than they, or others, may have expected

And was the travel worth the time
Reflecting on whether or not the journey has been worth it

It's time to open up your mind
It's time to be receptive to new ideas or experiences

I choose to give the gift of sight
The singer has made a decision to help someone see things in a new way

The right to choose to give a life
An assertion for the right to make decisions about one's own life and choices

The right to die the right to teach
Asserting one's rights to both control their own life and contribute to the knowledge or education of others

To think you're right but not to preach
Encouraging someone to believe in themselves without trying to force their beliefs on others

I've often wondered where you've been
Reflecting on a long period of absence

Could someone go through this again
Questioning whether someone else could handle this situation

Another journey down that road
Anticipating another difficult experience

Prepared to bear a heavy load
Ready to handle whatever comes

I gave you everything I could
The artist did their best to help out

I gave you everything I had
The artist put forth their best effort and resources

There's nothing left for me to say
The singer doesn't have more to add and might need to step away from the issue

I guess it's time to walk away
Acknowledging that it's time to move on from this particular situation
