Everything Will Be Okay
Embracing Resilience: Finding Comfort in 'Everything Will Be Okay'
Lyrics
I let myself down
I disappointed myself
In a really bad way
In a significant and negative manner
I let myself down
Repeating the acknowledgment of self-disappointment
So I take the blame
Accepting responsibility for the mistake
I beat myself up
Being self-critical and harsh on oneself
Need someone to say
Seeking reassurance and comfort from others
‘Everything will be okay’
Desiring to hear that things will improve
I'm constantly breaking
Consistently facing challenges and difficulties
And being pushed out of shape
Experiencing pressure and distortion
Just stuck together
Maintaining composure despite challenges
With glue and with tape
Using makeshift solutions to hold oneself together
But I watch my wounds heal
Finding healing in time despite wounds
Whenever you say
Receiving comfort and assurance from someone
‘Everything will be okay’
Reiterating the belief that things will improve
With you
Feeling stable and secure with a particular person
I’m not a disaster
Not considering oneself a complete disaster
‘Cause you
Acknowledging the support of someone
Fix me when I fracture
Being repaired and comforted during challenges
When I can't win for losing
Facing continuous setbacks and challenges
And my luck’s gone off-shore
Experiencing a streak of bad luck
When I can’t see the exit
Feeling lost and unable to find a way out
And I can’t find the door
Being uncertain and struggling
You turn the lights on
Finding guidance and reassurance
Show me that I’m safe
Understanding that safety is provided by someone
And everything will be okay
Believing that everything will improve
With you
Feeling secure and supported with a specific person
I’m not a disaster
Rejecting the idea of being a complete disaster
‘Cause you
Appreciating the fixing and support from someone
Fix me when I fracture
Finding the ability to endure difficulties together
With you
Being able to navigate challenging situations with someone
I can breathe underwater
Experiencing a sense of ease and comfort
With you
Knowing that inner strength is found with someone
I know that I'm stronger
Recognizing personal resilience with someone's support
My heartbeat is anxious
Feeling anxious when separated from a particular person
Whenever you’re gone
Experiencing fear and insecurity momentarily
I'm scared for a moment
Expressing vulnerability and a need for reassurance
That I can't hold on
Overcoming fear by trusting and closing one's eyes
But then I close my eyes
Recalling comforting words in challenging moments
And I hear you say
Receiving assurance that everything will improve
‘Everything will be okay'
Repeating the belief in a positive outcome
And everything will be okay
Reassuring oneself and others that everything will be okay
