Make It Ok
Navigating Love's Limits: Make It Ok by John Fisher
Lyrics
Stop taking me for granted
Expressing a desire to stop being taken for granted.
There's not much time to give it
Emphasizing the limited time available to address the issues.
And everybody's got their limit
Acknowledging that everyone has their limits or boundaries.
All I'm saying, all I'm doing
Stating that actions and words align.
I feel like staying, feel like going
Indicating ambivalence about staying or leaving.
I know there's damage already done
Recognizing that there is pre-existing damage in the relationship.
We won't see what is lost until it's gone
Highlighting the realization of loss only after it's gone.
I don't wanna make this all about you
Expressing a desire not to make everything solely about the other person.
I just wanna feel like we
Yearning for a mutual connection and understanding.
Can make it ok
Desiring to make things okay.
Because I built my life around you
Stating a commitment to the relationship by building a life around the other person.
Do whatever we can do
Expressing a willingness to do whatever it takes to improve the situation.
To make it ok
Reiterating the desire to make things okay.
I'll stop taking you for granted
Committing to stop taking the other person for granted.
I want to listen to you
Expressing a desire to listen actively.
And be the one you want to talk to
Aspiring to be the person the other wants to confide in.
All you're saying, all you're doing
Noting that actions and words align for the other person as well.
You feel like staying, then feel like going
Reflecting ambivalence about staying or leaving for the other person.
We can fight another day
Emphasizing the possibility of resolving conflicts on another day.
This is not the time to walk away
Advising against walking away during challenging times.
I don't wanna make this all about you
Reiterating the desire not to make everything solely about the other person.
I just wanna feel like we
Yearning for a mutual connection and understanding from the other person.
Can make it ok
Desiring to make things okay together.
Because I've built my life around you
Stating a commitment to the relationship by building a life around the other person.
Do whatever we can do
Expressing a willingness to do whatever it takes to improve the situation.
To make it ok
Reiterating the desire to make things okay.
All you're saying, all you're doing
Noting that actions and words align for the other person as well.
You feel like staying, then feel like going
Reflecting ambivalence about staying or leaving for the other person.
We can fight another day
Emphasizing the possibility of resolving conflicts on another day.
This is not the time to walk away
Advising against walking away during challenging times.
I don't wanna make this all about you
Reiterating the desire not to make everything solely about the other person.
I just wanna feel like we
Yearning for a mutual connection and understanding from the other person.
Can make it ok
Desiring to make things okay together.
Because I've built my life around you
Stating a commitment to the relationship by building a life around the other person.
Do whatever we can do
Expressing a willingness to do whatever it takes to improve the situation.
To make it ok
Reiterating the desire to make things okay.
Do whatever we can do
Encouraging joint efforts to make things okay.
To make it ok
Repeating the call for collaborative efforts to improve the situation.
