Then I got older and the silence caught flame
Turned into anger, turned into blame
Shame in my bones, disgust in my skin
I wore those shadows like they were stitched in

[Pre-Chorus]
Freeze when I’m hurting
Fire when I break
I’ve been at war with the girl inside me
For far too many days

[Chorus]
It’s okay, I’ll be okay
That’s what I whispered just to make it through the day
Through the freeze, through the fire, through the weight I couldn’t say
It’s okay, I’ll be okay
Now I sing it like a promise, not a lie to get me by
We did not come this far to keep abandoning our lives
With broken bodies and hearts they could not take
It’s okay
We’ll be okay

[Verse 2]
Avoidance wore a holy face
Looked like safety, felt like saving grace
I called it coping, I called it control
But it built a locked room around my soul

And I know I’m not the only one
Who learned to hide just to survive what was done
So this is for the ones still shaking in the dark
Still trying to believe their life is worth the spark

[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve got scars
We’ve got proof
Of every hell
We made it through

[Chorus]
It’s okay, I’ll be okay
That’s what I whispered just to make it through the day
Through the freeze, through the fire, through the weight I couldn’t say
It’s okay, I’ll be okay
Now I sing it like a promise, not a lie to get me by
We did not come this far to keep abandoning our lives
With cracked-up souls and a fight we did not fake
It’s okay
We’ll be okay

[Bridge]
This is for the child who went still in the fear
For the teenager drowning in anger for years
For the ones full of shame, full of hurt, full of blame
Trying to outrun pain with a different name

For the ones who got tired of living half-alive
For the ones done surviving but ready to fight
We do not have to keep disappearing this way
We can turn toward the hurt and still choose to stay

[Final Chorus]
It’s okay, I’ll be okay
Not because it all got easy, not because the hurt just fades
But because I turned and faced it
And I did not run away
It’s okay, I’ll be okay
For the child who went frozen, for the soul that had to wait
For the years we lost to hiding, for the lives we’re gonna save
With a wildfire heart and a voice they could not break
It’s okay
We’ll be okay

[Outro]
It’s okay
We’ll be okay
Not untouched
Not unscarred
But we’re still here
And we are not leaving ourselves again
It’s okay
We’ll be okay
[End]

[Verse 1] When I was little, I went silent, went still Thought of rainbows somewhere far so I would not have to feel Learned how to leave without moving at all Disappear inside my mind till it was over and gone Then I got older and the silence caught flame Turned into anger, turned into blame Shame in my bones, disgust in my skin I wore those shadows like they were stitched in [Pre-Chorus] Freeze when I’m hurting Fire when I break I’ve been at war with the girl inside me For far too many days [Chorus] It’s okay, I’ll be okay That’s what I whispered just to make it through the day Through the freeze, through the fire, through the weight I couldn’t say It’s okay, I’ll be okay Now I sing it like a promise, not a lie to get me by We did not come this far to keep abandoning our lives With broken bodies and hearts they could not take It’s okay We’ll be okay [Verse 2] Avoidance wore a holy face Looked like safety, felt like saving grace I called it coping, I called it control But it built a locked room around my soul And I know I’m not the only one Who learned to hide just to survive what was done So this is for the ones still shaking in the dark Still trying to believe their life is worth the spark [Pre-Chorus] We’ve got scars We’ve got proof Of every hell We made it through [Chorus] It’s okay, I’ll be okay That’s what I whispered just to make it through the day Through the freeze, through the fire, through the weight I couldn’t say It’s okay, I’ll be okay Now I sing it like a promise, not a lie to get me by We did not come this far to keep abandoning our lives With cracked-up souls and a fight we did not fake It’s okay We’ll be okay [Bridge] This is for the child who went still in the fear For the teenager drowning in anger for years For the ones full of shame, full of hurt, full of blame Trying to outrun pain with a different name For the ones who got tired of living half-alive For the ones done surviving but ready to fight We do not have to keep disappearing this way We can turn toward the hurt and still choose to stay [Final Chorus] It’s okay, I’ll be okay Not because it all got easy, not because the hurt just fades But because I turned and faced it And I did not run away It’s okay, I’ll be okay For the child who went frozen, for the soul that had to wait For the years we lost to hiding, for the lives we’re gonna save With a wildfire heart and a voice they could not break It’s okay We’ll be okay [Outro] It’s okay We’ll be okay Not untouched Not unscarred But we’re still here And we are not leaving ourselves again It’s okay We’ll be okay [End]
