Lyrics

This is How I Feel (c. 2025 raspberry33)

VERSE 1:
Give me a break – I’ll admit my mistake
But I still can’t support the illusion
We had it good – and why not, we should
Celebrate each era’s conclusion

Deep in the box – there’s an unexpected treat
Though defeat was not the prize we desired
There’s a time to move on don’t sacrifice a pawn
When checkmate is what’s required

CHORUS:
This is how I feel This is how I smile
In a while, I’ll have a better perspective
This is how I cope This is what I wrote
It’s my truth, though you say it’s subjective
(2nd time): But right now, I’m feeling reflective

VERSE 3:
The very next day – what did you say?
About not knowing how good we once had it
There’s an air of indifference, but I’ll take it all back
If you just agree it’s problematic

BRIDGE:
I confess it’s a mess when the best you can do
Is hope the footsteps pass in the hall
We could stay together or we could stay apart
Can you see the handwriting on the wall?

>CHORUS and out
