lyrics
I wish I could just throw it all away
Throwback time, throwback pride
Throwback to when I could look you in the eye
And cry
I'd change most of me
Well, the majority
I'd change but it'd be mostly all for you
Oh what I would do but where's the fun in that?
I bet you I could bet that even after all that
Not one thing could ever make you stay
And that's gotta be okay
And that's gotta be okay
That's gotta be okay ooh
That's gotta be okay ooh
Here, throw on this weighted blanket
Incense and dirty chai
Weigh down escaping anxieties but now they're all stuck inside
I'm so bad at this thing
Called self-healing
I can't think of myself when I'm still grieving
For what?
For what?
For what?
For what?
And that's gotta be okay ooh
And that's gotta be okay ooh
Mind so preoccupied
Emotions that were once amplified
Dormant and forbidden
Kick it to the curb it's all rigged!
It's funny what we think love is
I don't know what it is I've experienced
Because I still hold you dear
When you broke me more than what I knew was clear
And I can't fathom
Why that's gotta be okay
The door's wide open for closure
But why the hell would I go there?
Where there laid my assumption of security
What's the big idea?
Why have, if loss is a possibility?
Scarred of losing, scared of needing now
Oh it's all a gamble!!
Yet I was aware, I was aware.
And that's gotta be okay ooh
And that's gotta be okay ooh
And that's gotta be okay
And that's gotta be okay, okay, okay
That's gotta be okay
That's gotta be okay
