You're Okay


I’m floating in the clouds,

And I can’t make a sound,

I try but I can’t come down.

 

While I struggle to survive,

This never-ending fight,

You smile and live alright.

 

I pull out all my guns,

And bring you down the sun,

But your ship is far and gone.

 

And while he tempts you with a sin,

And you smile and give in,

I ache because I won’t win.

You don’t even mind.

 

I’m fading away,

Like the sand under the waves,

I’m burning up in flames,

But you’re still okay.

 

And the photographs we shared,

Show a heart when it still cared,

It’s a shame it had to end this way,

Yet you’re still okay.

 

I’ll lay down my sword,

And relive every promised word,

But I can’t fight what’s not there, anymore.

 

The day is now gray.

The day is now gray.

The day is now gray,

All because you’re okay
