Make You OK

I remember you most as so severe

And all the grit you wore to disappear

I never knew which you I'd find

Some days, you'd show up all redesigned

I remember you sometimes let come undone

I'd sing and you couldn't help but let tears run

And it felt to me like heaven had opened the skies

A man so harsh and heavy letting love pour from his eyes

I saw your love beneath the pain

I saw you fight through every day

Oh, why couldn't I make you okay?

In a melody, you were finally free

You'd forget the guilt and, for a moment, see me

These days I'm singing, searching all the eyes

For that same freedom I am too deprived

Didn't get it then, but I sure do now

And I'm terrified I'm becoming you somehow

And everyone I ever love just gets dragged around

Hanging onto promises of higher ground

But I saw your love beneath the pain

I saw you fight through every day

Oh, why couldn't I make you okay?

I saw your love beneath the pain

I saw you fight through every day

Oh, why couldn't I make you okay?

Oh, why couldn't I make you okay?
