it will be okay

it will be okay

it will be okay

it will be okay

why do people who hurt you the most love to say

everything will be okay

easy for you to say

move on and you’ll be okay

did you ever feel the same way?

if you did you wouldn’t say

it will be okay


you don’t love me like that

so you never felt the same way


easy to say

easy to say

easy to say

move on it will be okay

you don’t love me like that

don’t feel the same way

so easy for you to say

so easy for you to say

why do people who hurt you the most love to say

it will be okay
