Good Morning Heartache Lyrics

Good morning heartache

   Billie could be singing about of number of things. Her heroin addiction, depression and her lover man that she could just as well be addicted to.

   If Billie Holiday had writhen the song then it could be her heroin addiction she's singing about,but the song was written and composed for her so it most likely is about her battle with depression.

   I feel that "happiness" evades her, or maybe depression, not so much her addiction.

   Billie Holiday is singing about how she wakes up everyday to her heroin addiction, her daily battle with it, which eventually took her life, very sad, losing & personal song for her...
