Everything Will Be OK

Even if I don't stay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay uuu huuu
Everything will be okay okay okay
Contemplating just who I could've turned out to be
If I'd stayed and weren't heard what would amount to me
If I had looked and ain't found would I have founded me
I mean inside would they loved me never looked down on me
They say you know if you loved her
Well then you would have stayed
You could have made a perfect pair that people wouldn't trade
Trade for nothing I did though I had to chase it
Face it I wasn't born to live a life basic
They say you turned your back on us
Just to go and be an artist
What's a promise anyway when someone breaks it
I bet he finally gets a shot and then he wastes it
I bet he don't come back for us when he makes it
And if he do it be too late you gotta face it
'Cause by then there's someone new you've been replaced with
Old friends I grew up with the girl
I fell in love with
Love or hate me depending on how you judge it
Even if I don't stay
Everything will be okay
Everything will be okay
I promise it'll be okay
Everything will be okay
Okay okay
Ah I had to wander
I had to go tread my own path
If you don't step through no mud well
Then it won't last
The years pass it's crazy how they go fast
Ask myself questions you have but you won't ask
Like you don't even come home enough
Where were you when she was in the hospital huh
It was only us and that's deep and yeah
I know it cuts
But if it gets you then you're weak
Because we were here and it ain't broken us
Still as close and stayed by her side when no one was
Like when she lost her job and everything how broke we was
When she was sick and she needed some taking care of
A fifteen year old shouldered the weight
And when he was scared of
The worst I know that you stayed strong
Don't say this enough
But you made me just as proud as you made mom
Yeah you got some anger but I don't blame you at all
I know I don't call
Even if I don't stay
Everything will be okay will be okay
Everything will be okay
I promise it'll be okay
Everything will be okay
Okay okay
In that first grade class they came and got me
Your mom's outside say goodbye now to everybody
U-Haul was waiting with all of her things
At least what she could pack
In the time my dad's at work and before he came back
Way too young to comprehend what was happening
Are we going to grandma's when are we coming back again
Little did I know that we were leaving him by himself
And ten years would pass before mom sees anybody else
Just us in middle school I ain't understand
Who Melissa was and why she wasn't another man
Biased and confused they try to explain but nobody can
Wanted what I thought was normal she had another plan
Such is life even if it took time for me
To accept it
No longer dad now but a woman with whom she slept with
Or for the years when a secret was how she kept it
I ain't get it admittedly I was skeptic
I came around happiness I see's what you may have found
And that's what's most important
I don't wanna see you breaking down
I wanna see you smile
I don't wanna see you make a frown
If she loves you then that's all anybody needs maybe now
By five things had gotten worse
Moved to the basement deep depressions a rotten curse
Hiding in a dark space her mind and her body hurts
Becoming more reclusive and the pills should have been alerts
So the worse it got I became more and more afraid
Until one night I went into that room
On the floor she laid
I sher she was blue her skin was cold she wasn't breathing
Screamed Melissa wake up couldn't fathom that she was leaving
Mom and bro was running down I screamed somebody help
Try pumping her chest C P R but it didn't help
Toughest pill to swallow but we lost that's forced reflection
While in her life you made her happy
Thank you for the blessing
Aaaa aaaa
Aaaaaa
Aaaaaa
Even if I don't stay
Everything will be okay
It'll be it'll be okay
Everything will be okay
I promise it'll be okay
Everything will be okay
Okay okay
