Ok One Day
I need you to be OK,
Not for me, not for anyone, but yourself.
You can’t be what everyone wants you to be, that’s not what I want, but you can’t see.
You’ve drowned in the past for way too long, you’ve been on your stage, singing that sorrow song and it can’t go on.
When you say something, you have anger in your eyes, you’ve been hurt so long, you can’t tell the truth from the lies, and so behind a smile and a bottle you hide.
You want to leave; you say you can’t stay, that it’s too hard; you are in so much pain,
People tell you the past is gone, but it’s in your head and will never be dead.
You need to hold on, just a little bit longer, there will be good and troubled times; it’s going to make you stronger.
I know you are trapped in the loneliness you feel, that no one will understand, you will never heal,
The marks down your arms that you cover with bracelets and charms, no one really knew the ongoing harm
You feel they need to let live, sick of the taking, when will something give?
You look in her blue eyes and it’s not enough, to pull you from where you are stuck
You think you are alone, you have me, you can’t push me away, by your side, I, I will stay.
You can’t bleed red and crimson anymore, you are the only one with who you are in a war, with reckless actions and words, with anger, and it’s seen and heard.
Things could be worse, but you can’t live life in reverse, you need to hold on a little longer and be strong, and you will be where you wanted, all along.
