"be okay" lyrics

"be okay"

Call it what you want, don't call me a romantic
I'm trying hard to hold it back, so you don't leave me stranded
Dancing on my own, the last one left on the floor
Spinning circles alone, 'cause I can't see you anymore
That's why I don't go back to all the places you call home
Cause I will just start running, running to your door

You took me to your room, like you took me for granted
You always said you're leaving soon, but I never thought you meant it

And when I replay those tapes, with whiskey in my veins
I see every mistake, and the songs don't sound the same
Without you looking back at me as you run from the blame
Like Joni says "don't let them know, don't give yourself away"

You crushed me
Tell me that you wanna get to know me
You introduced me to your fucking family
And you still treated me so fucking badly
And you say "you're gonna have a good day"
You tell me "it's gonna be okay"

You're moving on with someone else who doesn't need me
You tell your friends that I was just too much to be around
And I can't sleep without the screaming
I can't sleep without your breathing
I can't sleep at all, I can't sleep at all

You crushed me
Tell me that you wanna get to know me
You introduced me to your fucking family
And you still treated me so fucking badly
And you say "you're gonna have a good day"
You tell me "it's gonna be okay"

And you say "you're gonna have a good day"
You tell me "it's gonna be okay"
