Tori Kelly has been going strong in the music world since she first stepped onto the scene. She has songs for everything—love, heartbreak, beauty, etc. There are songs many can relate to as well as songs that hit you right in the feels. While there are many notable lyrics, we’re giving you 16 Tori Kelly lyrics that hit you right in the feels.
‘All In My Head’
“She’s so pretty you two look so great
Time for me to move on now
it was probably just a silly crush anyway”
An unrequited crush is one thing. An unrequited crush with a significant other who looks stunning? It could have a bigger impact on you than the former. It’s a dozen times worse when, for a split moment, you thought you had a chance because to you, they were dropping hints. No one wants to sit around wondering if they’ve been led on. Let’s not forget to mention that when Tori Kelly gets to that second line above, you feel what she’s feeling as her voice gets higher and the music stops for a moment when she’s singing about the possibility of what she’s feeling being silly.
‘Paper Hearts’
“Our life was cutting through so loud
Memories are playing in my dull mind
I hate this part paper hearts“
We couldn’t help but include these Tori Kelly lyrics on our list! ‘Paper Hearts’ has heartbreaking and sad lyrics that hit the feels to the core when listening to it. These? They capture how it is when you’ve moved on from somewhere and how easy it is for someone to get heartbroken and the hold things such as pictures have on someone.
‘Dear No One’
“So if you’re out there I swear to be good to you
But I’m done lookin’, for my future someone“
There’s never anything wrong with being single. Sometimes people get tired of looking for someone and would rather sit back and wait for someone to come their way. These lyrics from ‘Dear No One’ hit the feels due to being so relatable to most people who would like to find the right person for them.
‘First Heartbreak’
“Cause for the first time, I get worried when I’m looking in your eyes
That one day, you might leave me, and it keeps me up at night”
Being in your first relationship can be a beautiful thing. The last thing someone wants to think about is having their first heartbreak when it comes to being with someone for the first time. When you’re with someone, you want to be with them for a long time; however, sometimes your thoughts start to consume you in ways you wish they wouldn’t, and you start thinking and wondering if your person will leave you. It’s not a good feeling. It’s why the lyrics from ‘First Heartbreak’ hit the feels.
‘Funny (Live)’
“If you lose your soul, you lose it all
If you’re at the top then brace for the fall“
While these lines remind everyone that it’s easy to lose anything you have while trying to achieve a high level of success, they also poke you right in the feels. We think the lyrics speak for themselves, wouldn’t you agree?
‘City Dove’
“Don’t ask me what’s wrong or right
I don’t even know the time
All I know is I’m holding on
I haven’t figured anything out“
We’re sorry, but we couldn’t pick one part of the song. These lyrics from the first verse and the line from the pre-chorus go well together. While there are people who know where they want to go and be in life, not everyone does. Some people don’t figure things out for a long time, and that’s okay. These lyrics speak to us and our feels.
‘Help Us To Love’ ft. The Hamiltones
“This world is weeping, hurting, broken and begging for change
Oh yeah
But still we marching, praying, dying, and things stay the same“
You can’t look at these lyrics and not tell us they don’t hit you right in the feels. It’s impossible. It’s sad to think that the world is the way it is and sometimes things don’t seem to change no matter how much people try to change it.
‘Never Alone’ ft. Kirk Franklin
"But I know somebody, He calls me His own
I can hear heaven singing out
Oh-oh-oh, you're never alone"
Every lyric of this song will hit you right in the feels! However, these lyrics are at the top. No one likes feeling alone. Most people don’t mind being alone, but that’s beside our point. Our point is that these lyrics hit the feelings because regardless of what you believe, it’s nice to know you’re not as alone as you might think you are.
‘Change Your Mind’
“Trust in me, I’ma need your blessing
Oh, I love him, I’m confessing
If it takes my life, I’ma change your mind“
Love isn’t easy. Relationships aren’t easy. These lyrics from ‘Change Your Mind’ have Tori asking for her father’s blessing as she’s in love with a man. It might not hit the feels for everyone, but for people who’ve had to deal with their family not liking their significant other for one reason or another, the feels are there.
‘2 Places’
“I must be goin’ numb, maybe it’s all because, oh
I’m feelin’ everything, and I feel it all at once
I’m in between the two“
Have you ever felt like you’ve been in the middle of two places? Happy and sad? Maybe one happy and one angry? We could go on. We think these lyrics from ‘2 Places’ speak for themselves. Some people feel too much, and this captures the feeling they get when they do.
‘Kid I Used To Know’
“I know that I can’t ever go back to the world when life was only
Playing, dreaming, dancing on my own“
Being a kid for many of us was one of the best parts of our lives. They were simpler times when we didn’t have to worry about anything other than being a kid and having fun. Being reminded of those times does something to us. It’s a happy and nostalgic feeling.
‘Your Words’
“Every part of me misses every part of you
And with all the chaos in my world
I could really use your words“
Content Warnings: loss/death
Losing someone is hard, especially when you were close to that person. We wish we could get them back for even a second to help us through things. These lyrics perfectly capture how it feels to a certain person in your life.
‘Minute To Myself’
“I just need a minute to myself
No, I don’t need anybody else“
For those who get overwhelmed easily, have highly sensitive personalities (HSP), etc., these lyrics can hit close to home. Sometimes people need some time and space to be to themselves to be able to be. It’s nothing personal to the person they could be around, but something beneficial to them in the long run.
‘thing u do’
“I lose all control, I’m deep in
‘Cause I can’t believe it’s all for me
You make my dream come true (Woo)“
Now we couldn’t have a list of feels without including these lyrics! Well, we could’ve, but we didn’t have it in us to do so. The lyrics from ‘thing u do’ capture every part of how it feels when you’re in love with someone and know it’s real. Even if you haven’t been in love before, the lyrics can hit your feels if you’re wishing you had a love like it.
‘missin u’
“I miss that feelin’ you would bring
I miss the way that you would make my sidekick bling and bling“
There’s nothing like reminiscing about the moments you shared with someone you were once in a relationship with. It can sometimes be a bad thing. Other times it can be a good thing. Those aren’t the only feelings we get from the lyrics. For those who grew up in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the lyrics also give us a nostalgic feeling we sometimes wish we could have back. Raise your hand if you’ve ever owned a Sidekick or said the word, “bling.”
‘high water’
“Broken-hearted tears, forever kind of rain
Alone with all my fears, can’t escape the pain“
These lyrics… We could say it’s only these lyrics from Tori Kelly’s ‘high water’ that hit the feels, but truth be told, the entire song will hit you in the feels. Tears that come from getting heartbroken can feel like they last for a thousand years, and having to face your pain? If you know how that feels, you know how it can be. The lyrics of the song also touch on losing someone close.
‘shelter’
I’ll be your blanket when it’s cold
And I’ll be your coffee when it snows
The last lyrics we’re leaving you with are from ‘shelter.’ We had so many to choose from, but these set the tone for how one wants their significant other to be toward them. It gives off a warm and cozy feeling and vibe. Come on now, who wouldn’t want a human blanket?
