lyrics

She still keeps flowers by the stairs.
Like her father used to keep there.
And her mothers been distant ever since.
Every man she’s ever loved has made her pay for it with her own blood.
They play and prey on her insecurities.
And all she ever wanted was to hear them say.
I wish someone told you you were loved.
But it isn’t enough.
It was never enough.

He spends his days in discomfort.
Ridiculed and tortured.
Everyday down these halls gets tougher.
And he begins to think his days here are numbered.
He’s a quiet kid with his face in his books.
And all he ever wanted was to hear them say.
I wish someone told you you were tough.
But it isn’t enough.
It was never enough.

I wish I could take away this pain.
I wish I could make your strength remain.
Because I understand these thoughts will stay.
I just need you to know it’s okay.

It’s okay to feel alone.
It’s okay to be afraid.
You’re not the only one in the world who’s scared to say.
That everyday is a fight.
Wanting to end it each night.
I’m hoping that you choose to stay.
It’s okay to not be okay.

It’s okay.
I just need you to know it’s okay.

It’s okay to be afraid.
It’s okay to feel alone.
I know these feelings so well.
We’re fighting through the same hells.
