"How I'm Feeling Now" lyrics

"How I'm Feeling Now"

Will you forgive me if I'm coming off a little bit obtuse?
Well it's been a minute now since I have had to tell the truth
I know, I can, I won't

Suppose I thought that by this moment I would have it figured out
But instead I tend to spend my days consumed by seeds of doubt
I know, I can, I won't

Oh darling it goes on and on and on
Always forever 'til I'm barely holding on
End of my tether and I know it won't be long, it won't be long 'til it's gone

So here's to my beautiful life
That seems to leave me so unsatisfied
No sense of self but self-obsessed
I'm always trapped inside my fucking head
On and on and on, on and on and on
On and on and on, on and on and on, said
Thought I'd be happier somehow
If you were wondering how I'm feeling now

I try to tell myself my best days are the ones that lie ahead
But I'm always looking back on things I wish I'd never said
I know, I can, I won't

Oh darling it goes on and on and on
Always forever 'til I'm barely holding on
End of my tether and I know it won't be long, it won't be long 'til it's gone

So here's to my beautiful life
That seems to leave me so unsatisfied
No sense of self but self-obsessed
I'm always trapped inside my fucking head
On and on and on, on and on and on
On and on and on, on and on and on, said
Thought I'd be happier somehow
If you were wondering how I'm feeling now

I won't lie, I'm a mess yeah
But I'll get there
Now I won't lie, I'm a mess yeah
But I'll get there

So here's to my beautiful life
That seems to leave me so unsatisfied
No sense of self but self-obsessed
I'm always trapped inside my fucking head
On and on and on, on and on and on
On and on and on, on and on and on, said
Thought I'd be happier somehow
If you were wondering how I'm feeling now

On the song, Lewis Capaldi commented in an Instagram post on the 15th of March, 2023, "It's the last song I wrote for my upcoming album and is a tune that's all about something I've never really written about in my music before which is my mental health. Obviously I completely recognise how lucky I am to have the life I do and I know there are people in much worse positions than I am out there but as much as the last 5 years have been the best of my life, I would be lying if I said it all hasn't taken its toll mentally and honestly, there have been some extremely low points and that's what this song is about.
