Waves

Lyrics

I could’ve done things differently
But so could you
We can pretend this is one-sided
But everyone knows that isn’t true

It comes in waves
So much change
Where are you today?
Will I be ok?

You made me feel so small
Maybe I did that too
We can’t keep hurting each other
Even though sometimes it’s the easiest thing to do

It comes in waves
So much change
Where are you today?
Will I be ok?

I’m sorry I left
I didn’t feel I had a choice
You wouldn’t listen
Neither would I
We both had to find our voice

It comes in waves
So much change
Where are you today?
Will I be ok?

Will I be ok?
Will we be ok?
I think I’m ok
I think we’re ok

About the song

Not everything in life is happy. Sometimes, you drift away from people you were once close to, especially when situations become difficult and you find yourself at odds with those people. Depression is real, anxiety is real, loss is real, and sometimes you wonder if the hurt and pain from having differences with people you love will ever go away. This song is an apology. This song is encouragement to endure difficult times and remember that other people are trying their best too. We all can put on a happy face and pretend that things are ok. We all have to be kind to each other, treat each other like human beings who deserve respect, and stop causing each other pain by our words, by our actions, and by our silence. We will not always have an answer to the question, "will I be ok?" but we have to keep searching and hoping.
