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
