Emotional Rollercoaster
Vivian Greene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night I cried, tossed and turned
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, itโ€ฒs my therapy
When I'm losing it which is usually

Iโ€ฒm 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 ainโ€ฒt nothing healthy
Loving you was never good for me, for me
Oh, I canโ€ฒt 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 canโ€ฒt get off

Emotional rollercoaster
Loving you ain't nothing healthy
Loving you was never good for me
I canโ€ฒt 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 youโ€ฒll 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 ainโ€ฒt nothing healthy




Loving you was never good for me
But I canโ€ฒt get off

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vivian Greeneโ€™s song โ€œEmotional 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 canโ€™t 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 โ€œIโ€™m 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 canโ€™t seem to get off the emotional rollercoaster sheโ€™s 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 sheโ€™s 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 itโ€™s 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 youโ€™re not healthy and that leaving is the best option if you want to be happy.
