Lyric

These days, it feels like expectations have all run dry

No one scolds me now, no one even asks me why

I’ve given up. If I just get through the day, I’m fine

But I’m missing the tears and the thrill that used to be mine

No more stomach aches from fear, no more heartbeats fast

Just a quiet safety that I know will always last

"Let’s do our best" turned into "I’ll do my best"

A tiny shift I ignored, put it to the test

Did you give up on me too? I’m scared to ask the rest

"It’s okay," you say—those words are far too bright

I looked away from that blinding, pure white light

But you say it again, with a smile that never fades

What do you believe in, through all these gray shades?

"It’s okay," you say—those words start to overflow

My eyes are blurring in the warmth of your glow

Tell me again tomorrow, and the day after too

Until I can truly believe it, and say it back to you

Slept in twice on a Sunday, room filled with the sun

Felt like crying for no reason, when the day had just begun

No one’s here to blame me, no one’s here to fight

But the clouds in my heart won't let in the light

"I’m done for," I think—but what am I supposed to do?

I want to scream, I’m so scared, please... forgive me too

"It’ll work out somehow," you always said so low

Standing right beside me, letting your kindness show

Even while you were chasing your own distant dream

You were the anchor in my rushing stream

"It’s okay," you say—you’re not a hero, you’re not strong

But you stand tall and smile, right where you belong

What do you believe in, to keep your heart so high?

"It’s okay," I’ll say it—taking your hand in mine

Looking in your eyes, crossing the finish line

Tomorrow and beyond, let’s walk a path that’s new

Seeing the same horizon, just me and you

Even with these clumsy, faltering steps we take

Even if we stumble, even if we break

If I’m with you... I can handle the ache!

"It’s okay"—let that be our secret code

Through these blinding days, on this long and winding road

We’ll lose our way, but we’ll smile through the fear

It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay, I’m right here

It’s okay, I know it... surely, we’ll be fine

It’s okay

I promise
