Tessa Violet’s “Feelin” focuses on the pain of an unhealthy toxic relationship and the feelings of being loved by their partner, while trying to push that feeling way down inside and bare it.
[Verse 1]
Spent the winter pretendin' I'm okay
And I love a sinner 'cause they look the other way
But I been goin' under, pretendin' that I'm okay
I am a girl of thunder, wishin' all the world away like
[Pre-Chorus]
Wine with dinner, I talk but I don't say
[Chorus]
How I been (Feelin')
How I been (Feelin' about, hey!)
All of these (Feelings)
Oh do you want me now?
How I been (Feelin')
Pretendin' I'm (Dealin' without, hey!)
But I ain't (Feelin')
Or do you want me out? Ha!
[Verse 2]
Was it easy, decidin' you're not mine?
Do you feel me? Do I ever cross your mind?
And I hate that you affect the way I feel at all
I don't deserve to find my footing just to fall in
[Pre-Chorus]
Wine with dinner, I talk but I don't say
[Chorus]
How I been (Feelin')
How I been (Feelin' about, hey!)
All of these (Feelings)
Oh do you want me now?
How I been (Feelin')
Pretendin' I'm (Dealin' without, hey!)
But I ain't (Feelin')
Or do you want me out? Ha!
[Bridge]
Now, voice, I don't need you to crack
No tellin' what you might say that I can't take back
And I don't think I can open up that door
I'm afraid to give a voice to what I'm wanting for
So I don't, or I can't, or I won't
But it's like I'm goin' crazy
Thinkin' about, mmm
[Chorus]
How I been (Feelin')
How I been (Feelin' about, hey!)
All of these (Feelings)
Oh do you want me now?
How I been (Feelin')
Pretendin' I'm (Dealin' without, hey!)
But I ain't (Feelin')
Or do you want me out? Ha!
