Emotional Rollercoaster
Vivian Greene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woke up with dry eyes
My mind was racing, feet were pacing
Lord, help me please tell me what I have gotten into
Ran my 3 miles to clear my mind
It always helps me out, itโฒs my therapy
When I'm losing it which is usually
Iโฒm on an emotional rollercoaster
Loving you ain't nothing healthy
Loving you was never good for me, for me
But I can't get off
This emotional rollercoaster
Loving you ainโฒt nothing healthy
Loving you was never good for me, for me
Oh, I canโฒt get off
Yesterday I told myself I was gonna be okay
Gonna start a new day, truly happy
I was gonna take control of me
But eventually reality hit me mentally, physically, emotionally
And I opened my eyes and realized
That I was still being taken for a constant ride on your
Emotional rollercoaster
Loving you ain't nothing healthy
Loving you was never good for me
I canโฒt get off
Emotional rollercoaster
Loving you ain't nothing healthy
Loving you was never good for me
I canโฒt get off
So tired of you making love to me
Then disappearing so suddenly
Up and down it goes
And I'm so tired of you pacifying me
With promises you know that youโฒll never keep
Round and round it goes
Emotional rollercoaster
Loving you ain't nothing healthy
Loving you was never good for me
But I can't get off
Emotional rollercoaster
Loving you ainโฒt nothing healthy
Loving you was never good for me
But I canโฒt get off
The lyrics of Vivian Greeneโs song โEmotional Rollercoasterโ tell the story of a person who is caught in the turmoil of a destructive relationship. The song discusses the ups and downs of being with someone who is not good for you. The first verse describes the singer's inner turmoil, how she canโt sleep, and her mind is racing, her feet pacing. She cries out for help, asking for clarity as to how she got herself into such a predicament.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase โIโm on an emotional rollercoasterโ to drive the point home that being in this relationship is just as turbulent as a physical roller coaster ride. Despite the fact that she knows that being with this person is not good for her, she canโt seem to get off the emotional rollercoaster sheโs on.
In the second verse, the singer tries to regain control of her life, deciding to take charge and be happy. However, she quickly learns that her attempts to be happy are futile when she realizes that the person sheโs with is causing her mental and emotional distress. The bridge illustrates her exhaustion with the situation, describing how her partner disappears after making love to her and doesn't follow through with his promises.
Overall, the lyrics try to convey the message that itโs hard to get out of a relationship that is not good for you, no matter how much you want to. Sometimes, you need to realize that youโre not healthy and that leaving is the best option if you want to be happy.

My mind was racing, feet were pacing
I was anxious and couldn't stop moving because of all the thoughts in my head
Lord, help me please tell me what I have gotten into
I feel trapped and don't know what to do anymore, I need help
Ran my 3 miles to clear my mind
Running helps me clear my head and feel better
It always helps me out, it's my therapy
Running is my way of coping and dealing with my emotions
When I'm losing it which is usually
I often feel like I'm losing control or going crazy
I'm on an emotional rollercoaster
Being with you is like being on a wild and unpredictable ride, emotionally
Loving you ain't nothing healthy
Being in love with you is not good for my mental or emotional health
Loving you was never good for me, for me
Our relationship has never been good for me, it's been toxic from the start
But I can't get off
Despite knowing all this, I can't seem to leave you or end this cycle
Yesterday I told myself I was gonna be okay
I tried to convince myself that I could be okay without you, that I could take control
Gonna start a new day, truly happy
I wanted to have a fresh start, where I could be happy and not depend on you
I was gonna take control of me
I wanted to take control of my life and not let you control my emotions
But eventually reality hit me mentally, physically, emotionally
Reality caught up with me and I realized things weren't going to change with you
And I opened my eyes and realized
I finally saw the truth about our relationship
That I was still being taken for a constant ride on your
Despite my efforts, I was still being manipulated and hurt by you
So tired of you making love to me
I'm tired of the physical intimacy that means nothing to you
Then disappearing so suddenly
You always leave me after we are intimate
Up and down it goes
Our relationship is a constant cycle of highs and lows
And I'm so tired of you pacifying me
I'm tired of you making empty promises just to placate me
With promises you know that you'll never keep
You make promises you don't intend to keep, just to keep me around
Round and round it goes
Our relationship is like a never-ending circle that I can't escape
