Lyrics

I learned to stay quiet when it got too much
Held my breath when the world fell apart
I learned to keep my tears where no one could see
Learned to carry things silently
I tried to be good, to behave
Tried to feel less, to be brave
But something in me always came up cold
It’s okay to feel it in your heart
It’s okay even when it hurts
You don’t have to find the words
It’s okay to feel a little lost
You don’t have to hold it all tonight
‘Cause I’m right here, you are not alone
As time passes by, with all these years behind
It only waited for the thaw to breathe
‘Cause what I held back stayed with me
And what I shut out lived in me
Now all of me can slowly hold as one
It’s okay to feel it in your heart
It’s okay even when it hurts
You don’t have to find the words
It’s okay to feel a little lost
You don’t have to hold it all tonight
‘Cause I’m right here, you are not alone
Feelings come and feelings go
Like the tide, like breath, like snow
‘Cause we don’t have to hold them still
To bend our will, you know
No part of you is wrong or weak
It doesn’t ask to be complete
‘Cause it’s been here the whole time through
I’m here to stay with you
It’s okay to feel it in your heart
It’s okay even when it hurts
You don’t have to find the words
It’s okay to feel a little lost
You don’t have to hold it all tonight
‘Cause I’m right here, you are not
I’m right here and you are not
I’m right here
And you are not alone
