I'll Be Fine
Echoes of Heartache: Finding Solace in 'I'll Be Fine' by Joe Corkram
Lyrics
I often sit and talk to myself
The singer engages in introspective conversations with themselves.
It might not be good my health
The act of talking to oneself may have negative effects on the singer's health.
I'm think 'bout the things that I should have said
Reflecting on missed opportunities and unspoken words.
And I know I often overthink
Acknowledging a tendency to overthink things.
But now I'm on the brink
Feeling on the edge or close to a breaking point.
And I can't get you out of my head
Being unable to stop thinking about someone.
Why can't I just lock down and keep myself from drowning out
Expressing a desire for emotional stability and control.
I'll throw away the key
Willingness to lock away emotions to avoid emotional drowning.
And now you're, you live for free in my mind
Someone occupies the singer's thoughts without reciprocation.
I think about you all the time
The constant presence of thoughts about the person.
But do you think of me
Raising the question of whether the person thinks about the singer.
I need to see the sign that's telling me one day that I'll be fine
Seeking a sign that reassures the singer that everything will be okay eventually.
And I'm drinking to forget about you
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism to forget about the person.
I don't know what to do
Expressing confusion and helplessness in dealing with the situation.
At this late hour
Referencing a late hour, possibly indicating a sense of urgency or despair.
But all it does is make things worse
Acknowledging that drinking doesn't alleviate the pain but exacerbates it.
When I'm thinking about us
Continuing to think about the relationship and its impact on the singer.
And it makes the taste turn sour
Describing the emotional aftermath, turning the taste metaphorically sour.
Why can't I just lock down and keep myself from drowning out
Repeating the desire for emotional lockdown to prevent overwhelming feelings.
I'll throw away the key
Reiterating the willingness to lock away emotions to maintain control.
And now you're, you live for free in my mind
The person occupies the singer's mind without reciprocation, causing internal conflict.
I think about you all the time
Reaffirming the constant presence of thoughts about the person.
But do you think of me
Persistently questioning if the person thinks about the singer in return.
I need to see the sign that's telling me one day that I'll be fine
Reiterating the need for a positive sign indicating eventual well-being.
Why can't I just lock down and keep myself from drowning out
Repeating the desire for emotional stability and control to avoid drowning.
I'll throw away the key
Emphasizing the willingness to lock away emotions as a protective measure.
And now you're, you live for free in my mind
Recurrence of the person's free existence in the singer's mind, highlighting inner turmoil.
I think about you all the time
Continued preoccupation with thoughts about the person.
But do you think of me
Repeating the question of whether the person reciprocates the singer's thoughts.
I need to see the sign that's telling me one day that I'll be fine
Reaffirming the need for a positive sign indicating eventual emotional recovery.
