Positive Mental Platitude
[Verse 1]
Check out this tiny heart
That’s how you know we care about you
When your life falls apart
Let all these tiny hearts surround you
Platitudes from latitudes too far removed
To ever feel without you
And now we’re mourning (publicly)
All the things we thought that you’d amount to
[Chorus]
Don’t you feel better now?
We’re all in this together now
Don’t you feel better now?
Now that you’ve done all that you can do
[Verse 2]
Performative, meaningless
This tiny heart is just a start, I guess
Sure, we could do more - but also less
Thriving as you convalesce (at best) or deliquesce
Not saying that it’s insincere
But maybe just too flippantly expressed
Signaling our sympathies
While never getting caught up in the mess
[Chorus]
Don’t you feel better now?
We’re all in this together now
Don’t you feel better now?
Now that you’ve done all that you can do
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Don’t you feel better now?
We’re all in this together now
Don’t you feel better now?
Now that you’ve done all that you can do
[Chorus]
Don’t you feel better now?
We’re all in this together now
Don’t you feel better now?
Now that you’ve done all that you can do
