Lyrics It's OK - The Smith Street Band

It's OK

If you’re thinking that one day you will go
That our love will take a turn or two but it’s a dead-end road
Then leave me on the footpath out the front of your front door
'Cause I don’t think my heart can take the beating anymore
And yeah, I understand, doesn’t mean this doesn’t hurt
The ground we’re on is shaking, I feel it rise up through the dirt
Can’t look you in the eyes, I field my questions to the floor
Say it’s okay if you don’t want to do this anymore
It’s okay if you don’t love me anymore
And I’ll try my best to not blame you
And I’ll cling tight to my own truth
My friends think I am bulletproof
But actually I’m feeling kinda lonely
I wanna see you tonight
The forest had been ransacked by the out-of-season storms
Start dancin' around in the debris and you ignored my calls
But the past doesn’t ring doorbells, it kicks in your bedroom walls
Remembers all the pick-me-ups and reminds you of the falls
And I’m growing, I am changing, what I want from life seems mad
Want a big house in the country and I wanna be a dad
And if you don’t want the same things, it’s alright, I understand
I just won’t lean too hard on you while you make other plans
And I’ll try my best to not blame you
And I’ll cling tight to my own truth
My friends think I am bulletproof
But lately I’ve been feeling pretty empty
I wanna see you tonight
If you’re thinking that one day you will leave
That our love will take a turn or two but you’ll wind up sick of me
And maybe as I turn the wrong way up Elgin Street
There’s some hope for the future in this immediate defeat
And we’ll understand each other and both acknowledge the pain
And I hope it’s not too uncomfortable when I see you again
And I’ll look you in the eyes, and with the purest intent, I’ll say
I love you and I’m sorry that it ended up this way
I love you and I’m sorry
