Be Alright
Dean Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To see your sad and teary eyes
You look away from me
And I see there's something you're tryna hide
And I reach for your hand but it's cold
You pull away again
And I wonder what's on your mind
And then you say to me you made a dumb mistakeYou start to tremble and your voice begins to break
You say the cigarettes on the counter weren't your friend's
They were my mate's
And I feel the color draining from my face
And my friend said
"I know you love her, but it's over, mate
It doesn't matter, put the phone away
It's never easy to walk away, let her go
It'll be alright"
So I still look back at all the messages you'd sent
And I know it wasn't right, but it was fucking with my head
And everything deleted like the past, yeah, it was gone
And when I touched your face, I could tell you're moving on
But it's not the fact that you kissed him yesterday
It's the feeling of betrayal, that I just can't seem to shake
And everything I know tells me that I should walk away
But I just wanna stay
And my friend said
"I know you love her, but it's over, mate
It doesn't matter, put the phone away
It's never easy to walk away, let her go
It'll be okay
It's gonna hurt for a bit of timeSo bottoms up, let's forget tonight
You'll find another and you'll be just fine
Let her go"
But nothing heals the past like time
And they can't steal
The love you're born to find
But nothing heals the past like time
And they can't steal
The love you're born to find
"I know you love her, but it's over, mate
It doesn't matter, put the phone away
It's never easy to walk away, let her go
It'll be okay
It's gonna hurt for a bit of time
So bottoms up, let's forget tonight
You'll find another and you'll be just fine
Let her go"
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
The first verse of the song describes a moment of pain and confusion within a relationship. The singer is looking up at his partner and sees sadness and tears in her eyes. She looks away and seems to be hiding something. The singer tries to reach for her hand, but she pulls away, leaving him wondering what's going on. She then reveals that she made a mistake, specifically that the cigarettes on the counter were not her friend's, but his mate's. This confession leaves the singer shocked and confused.
In the second verse, the singer is still holding on to the past, looking back at the messages his partner sent, even though he knows it's not right. He can tell that she's moving on and has even kissed someone else, but he still wants to stay with her despite feeling betrayed. His friend advises him to let her go, as it's never easy to walk away from a relationship, but that eventually, things will be alright. The final verse repeats this sentiment, saying that time heals all wounds and that love cannot be stolen, but rather it's something that will be found eventually.
Overall, "Be Alright" is a relatable song about the pain and healing that comes with the end of a relationship. The singer is struggling to come to terms with the betrayal of his partner, but knows that eventually he will be able to move on and find love again.

I look up from the ground
I raise my head to find you staring with tears in your eyes
To see your sad and teary eyes
You appear sad and weepy
You look away from me
You turn your face away from me
And I see there's something you're tryna hide
I understand that you are keeping something secret from me
And I reach for your hand but it's cold
I stretch my hand but you repel it with coldness
You pull away again
You refuse to draw closer to me once more
And I wonder what's on your mind
I think about what is troubling you
And then you say to me you made a dumb mistake
You confess to me that you made a silly error
You start to tremble and your voice begins to break
You start shaking and your voice starts to falter
You say the cigarettes on the counter weren't your friend's
You explain that the cigarettes on the counter belonged to my friend
They were my mate's
They belonged to my mate
And I feel the color draining from my face
I feel my face losing its color
And my friend said
My friend told me
"I know you love her, but it's over, mate
"I know you are in love with her, but the relationship is over, my friend
It doesn't matter, put the phone away
It is irrelevant, keep your phone away
It's never easy to walk away, let her go
It is never effortless to leave someone, let her go
It'll be alright
Everything will be fine
So I still look back at all the messages you'd sent
I ponder over all the messages you sent me
And I know it wasn't right, but it was fucking with my head
I realize it was wrong, but it messes with my mind
And everything deleted like the past, yeah, it was gone
You deleted everything like it never existed, including our past
And when I touched your face, I could tell you're moving on
When I touched your face, I could tell you are getting over me
But it's not the fact that you kissed him yesterday
It is not the fact that you kissed him yesterday
It's the feeling of betrayal, that I just can't seem to shake
It is the feeling of being let down that I cannot seem to eradicate
And everything I know tells me that I should walk away
All I know points to me walking away
But I just wanna stay
But I just want to remain
It's gonna hurt for a bit of time
It will hurt a bit for some time
So bottoms up, let's forget tonight
So let's forget tonight, let's drink up
You'll find another and you'll be just fine
You will find another and be okay
Let her go
Allow her to leave
But nothing heals the past like time
Time is the only healer of the past
And they can't steal
Nobody can snatch away
The love you're born to find
The love that is destined for you

Just had the love of my life leave me for my other friend and he was my best friend. My parents just think I'm overeating but really I'm not. I almost killed myself and got taken to the crisis center and instead of my parents embracing me telling me that they love me they pushed me away and told me i'm just an existence in this world.

The people with the brightest eyes, have cried the most tears
The people with the biggest smiles, have frowned the most
The people who put you back together are the ones who are ripping at the seams
The people who told you you're going to be okay are the ones who aren't
The people who won't give up on you, have been given up on
Trust me, I know from experience.

To all those people being bullied
To all those people who have lost a loved one
To all those people who have lost a pet
To all those people being abused
To all those people going through depression
To all those people with anxiety
To all those people in poverty
To all those people going through a breakup
To all those people having a bad day
To all those people with insecurities
To all those people just having a hard time,
Don't forget
Your weakness today
Is your strength tomorrow
It always gets better
Your loved ones will remain in your hearts
You always have the memories
Love yourself
Stand up for yourself
Money can't buy happiness
Those lovers
Just weren't right
Don't abuse yourself
Don't abuse others
Kill them with kindness
Treat people with kindness
We've all had these times
There will always be a hole in our chests
But
Let's all be each others' strength
weather you're
Black
White
LGBTQ+
Christian
Atheist
Etc
Love yourself
Love others
Don't cut
Don't kill
Don't criticize
Don't beg
Don't do drugs
Don't starve yourself
Don't starve others
We aren't supposed to do any of that
Just keep your strength
Keep your faith
Don't change because you were told to
Be yourself
All the love,
tiffany(im on my dads account)
@claudiateoh1172
Your skin is not paper, do not cut it
your face is not a mask, do not hide it
your size is not a book, do not judge it
your life is not a movie, do not end it
Edit:Your neck isn't a shirt, don't hang it
Your heart isn't a chest don't lock it
Edit 2: The world doesn’t have a place for you. because the world has a special place for you.
No one likes you. because we all love you.
The world can be cruel but you are strong. There is only one you in this universe. You’re special in your own way. That’s what makes you different. Being different isn’t a bad thing. It shows that you are more creative than the ones that judge you for who you are. You might not be pretty on the outside. But you’re beautiful on the inside. You might feel useless, but little do you know you’re not. God brought you here for a reason. You have a mission to complete in this world. The ones who judge you, are teaching you something.
They are teaching you not to be like them. Stay strong.
dear stranger reading this, hope you stay safe and live for a 100 more years
@MrScorched
The loneliest people are the kindest
The most betrayed people are the most loyal.
The most sad people have the brightest smiles.
All because they have been so hurt by other people.
Edit: last part was cringe so I made it go bye bye
