Okay
Daade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you give up on me
I can't say that I will blame you
'cause that's really the smart move
And this letter that I'm writing doesn't make it better
But at least you'll know that nothing has ever been your fault
I will take credit for all the weird awkward moments,
Sending signals like a radio wave antenna
The only difference is I don't know how to turn this one off
But I've been dying to tell you
You make me feel normal
Even when I've been acting odd
You've seen me when I'm strange
And you make it okay
The only one who makes me okay
How you keep composure
With that gentle look and flavor
Makes me crazier about you
And your soft and tender way
Often introspection gets the better of my judgment
And I'm sorry for never telling you any of these things
I will take credit for conversations going nowhere,
Opportunity for openness that will never come again,
Letting time retreat like enemies turned and running
The only difference is I am the one losing out on this
But I've been dying to tell you
You make me feel normal
Even when I've been acting odd
You've seen me when I'm strange
And you make it okay
The only one who makes me okay
