Whatever Happens
Embracing Imperfections: Whatever Happens by Positive Failures
Lyrics
I'm really only good at being honest
I prioritize honesty and struggle with deception.
I am never fake
I never pretend or act falsely.
I say everything that comes to mind and all my thoughts are half baked
I express my thoughts openly, even if they are not fully developed.
I'm really only good at being awkward
My social interactions tend to be awkward rather than smooth.
I am never smooth
I don't possess a polished or suave demeanor.
I say everything that comes to mind and all my thoughts are blue
I communicate honestly, and my thoughts often carry a sense of sadness.
I don't care what they're gonna say because I know they're gonna say it anyway
Indifference to others' opinions because they will criticize regardless.
You shouldn't care what they're gonna say because you know they're gonna say it anyway
Encouraging someone else to disregard external judgments.
Whatever happens I will be okay
Remaining emotionally resilient despite uncertainties.
You're really only good at being quiet
Being adept at silence and keeping emotions concealed.
And keeping it all close to your chest
Preferring to keep personal matters private and hidden.
What's going on in that head of yours is anybody's guess
The contents of one's mind are mysterious and unclear to others.
I don't care what they're gonna say because I know they're gonna say it anyway
Similar sentiment to line 9, emphasizing resilience to criticism.
You shouldn't care what they're gonna say because you know they're gonna say it anyway
Reiterating the advice to not be bothered by others' opinions.
Whatever happens you're just another heart
Acknowledging the transient nature of relationships.
In a long, long list of false starts
Recognizing a history of unsuccessful beginnings in relationships.
I will watch you grow up and old
Observing the growth of someone else with a committed partner.
With somebody's hand that you vowed to hold
Anticipating the enduring connection of others while being alone.
While I spend another night alone
Expressing loneliness during another night spent without company.
You and I are like a fire
Describing the relationship as a bright but short-lived flame.
Short and bright embers
Comparing the relationship to quick-burning embers.
Even if we weren't built to last
Acknowledging that the relationship may not be everlasting.
I'm thankful for the burn
Expressing gratitude for the positive experiences despite the brevity.
I don't care what they're gonna say because I know they're gonna say it
Repeating the theme of disregarding the opinions of others.
You shouldn't care what they're gonna say because you know they're gonna say it anyway
Encouraging resilience in the face of expected criticism.
Whatever happens
Reaffirming the commitment to emotional well-being despite uncertainties.
We will be okay
Expressing confidence in overcoming challenges and being okay.
