You'll Be Okay

You start today like any other

With your Starbucks and a smoke

Contemplating thoughts of suicide

Or reading entries that you wrote

In a journal that you both kept to document how you both felt

Before he left

You've been lied to, you've been cheated

Ripped apart at all your seams

Darling, that's just what you get for leaving your heart out on your sleeve

But the pain will fade, the hurt will subside

And you'll be fine

Oh, you'll be fine

See, there's lessons to be learned

Like you should hope and not self hate

But I know, dear loving princess, this is not how you think

Some find comfort in the dissonance, while others just find pain

So please, just know, my dear, that everything will be okay

You'll be okay

You'll be okay

You see, lovers come and go, like the ships set out to sea

And I am sorry if I'm not helping you with my cliché similes

But I'm just tryin' to get you by, to make up for all the times

That I lied

See, I lied to you and cheated, I ripped apart at all your seams

Cast your heart out to the side when you handed it to me

So you can do the same to mine, maybe then, you'll be alright

You'll be just fine

Oh, you'll be fine

See, here's the lesson to be learned

Please, just hate me, don't hate yourself

Take our memories away, take my pictures off the shelf

I made a home here in the dissonance after causing so much pain

So forget about me completely, and let me fade away

You'll be okay

You'll be okay

You'll be okay

You'll be okay
