Be Alright
Tiffany Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been searching and I'm
never going back
Left wondering...
should I leave you in the past?

I can't hide my feelings
Can't change your words to lies...
I'm sick of all the crying
Arguments and fights...

And now I don't feel nothing
Not falling in another time...

And when I try
to close my eyes
I wake up and I realise
It's cold outside
On the borderline
I'm moving on and it'll be alright...

Don't you touch me baby
Don't you push me anymore
I'm not afraid of hurting
I've crawled down that road before

There's no price on freedom
There's no shelter in your love
All my hope I'm saving
But for you I've given up

And now I don't feel nothing
Not falling in another time!

And when I try
To close my eyes
I wake up and I realise
It's cold outside on the borderline
I'm moving on and it'll be alright...

Don't tell me walk away
Can't take this anymore
These tears that fill my eyes
They don't drown me no more
They're not drowing me no more

And when I try
To close my eyes
I wake up and I realise
It's cold outside on the borderline
I'm moving on and it'll be alright...

Yeah, it's gonna be alright...




Yeah, it's gonna be alright...
Ooooh, yeah yeah yeah...
