She'll Be Alright

She left her keys

On the kitchen chair

Coffee gone cold

Sun in her hair

You watched her leave

But you stayed inside

Hands on the table

Swallowing pride

She’ll be alright

You keep telling yourself tonight

She’ll be alright

Even if she never calls

Never writes

You’ll be okay

Just a heartbeat out of time

Let her fly

She’ll be alright

Her sweater still hangs

On the hallway door

You pace that floor

Like you’ve run this war

Every “what if”

Every almost-try

Flickers like film

In your tired eyes

She’ll be alright

You keep telling yourself tonight

She’ll be alright

Even if she never calls

Never writes

You’ll be okay

Just a heartbeat out of time

Let her fly

She’ll be alright

Maybe someday

You’ll see her in line

Both of you older

Both of you fine

You’ll trade a small smile

Then turn to the light

Knowing deep down

You let her survive

She’ll be alright

You keep telling yourself tonight

She’ll be alright

Even if she never calls

Never writes

You’ll be okay

It just takes a little time

Let her fly

She’ll be alright (alright)
