Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sorry for the tear on your sleeve
Sorry for the weight in your hands
Sorry for the days you can’t move
Sorry for the things you can’t plan
You say “I’m fine” like a shield
Like if you say it, it stays
But your voice goes thin in the middle
And your eyes give you away
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to earn your place
You don’t have to shrink to stay
You can fall apart right here
I won’t look at you that way
[Chorus]
You don’t have to be okay for me
You don’t have to be okay
You can come undone with me
I will love you anyway
You don’t have to be okay for me
You don’t have to be okay
Breathe in slow, let go with me
I will love you anyway
[Verse 2]
When your body turns on you
And the room gets hard to cross
When the phone is full of people
But you still feel lost
When you need a hand, not a speech
When you need a chair, not a fight
When you need to cry in the daylight
And not explain tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to wear a smile
You don’t have to hide the ache
You can be a human heart
And still deserve a place
[Chorus]
You don’t have to be okay for me
You don’t have to be okay
You can come undone with me
I will love you anyway
You don’t have to be okay for me
You don’t have to be okay
Breathe in slow, let go with me
I will love you anyway
[Bridge]
No gold star for carrying it all
No prize for breaking alone
Lay it down, let somebody see
You were never meant for stone
If all you have is shaky breath
If all you have is one more day
Bring the tired, bring the fear
I’ll meet you there and stay
[Chorus]
You don’t have to be okay for me
You don’t have to be okay
You can come undone with me
I will love you anyway
You don’t have to be okay for me
You don’t have to be okay
Breathe in slow, let go with me
I will love you anyway
