I’ll Be Okay
Why Don't We Lyrics

Oh, she talks so sweet, like sugar, like candy
I am attracted to the way she speaks because it is sweet like sugar and candy

Makes me wanna be the best man that I can be
Her presence motivates me to be the best version of myself

I like that she keeps things oh-so simple
I appreciate that she makes things simple which reduces stress and complications

Less stress, more uh, if she got the dimples
Her simple approach leads to less stress and more happiness, and possibly the presence of dimples adds to this happiness

I get scared when I think about the future
The thought of the future scares me

I'm a junk man, she's a promise abuser
I collect and hold onto things that I shouldn't, and she has a history of not following through with promises

Hell, I know that we're bad for each other
I am aware that we are not good for each other, despite our attraction

I made my own bed but she tucked me under
I am responsible for the current state of our relationship, but she comforts and supports me

We did it for the hell of it
Our actions were driven by our desire to enjoy the moment without significant consideration of consequences

We did it for the good times and the bad ones
We had fun together and remained loyal through challenging times

We didn't think about what shit might happen
We did not consider the potential negative outcomes of our actions

But once you light a fire, it's gonna burn
Once we engage in an activity or relationship, it will have lasting effects and consequences

I'll be okay to keep it simple
I will be fine as long as we maintain a simple relationship

I'll stay outta your way and won't let you know
I will not impose on you and will not make my feelings too known

I need your love tonight
Despite my desire for simplicity, I still need your love and attention tonight

I'll be okay as long as you are
My happiness and comfort depend on yours

It's been the longest day and I
It has been a long and difficult day for me

Innocent of sin
We do not initially recognize the potential negative consequences of our actions

Baby, in the moment we all think we know
In the moment, we feel confident in our decisions and actions

But when it's too late, all the answers show
Only after significant time passes, do we realize the answers and consequences of our actions

No forgiving then
In that moment, forgiveness is not possible

All it takes is time and some selfish pride
Time and pride can change our perspectives and lead to unanticipated consequences

To flip our love story on its side
Our relationship can be drastically altered, even destroyed

Stranded on an island
I feel trapped and helpless

Can't escape, I'm tryin'
I cannot escape, even though I am trying

I need you to come help
I need your help to improve the situation

Baby, you're an angel
You are a wonderful person

You did nothing wrong
You are not responsible for the current situation

But you've been giving me hell
Your actions have caused me pain and difficulty

I'll keep it simple
I will strive for simplicity in our relationship

I'll stay outta your way and won't let you know
I will avoid being a burden and will not over-express my needs

Ooh, ooh
Musical interlude

Need your love tonight
I require your affection and attention tonight

Oh, shit, yeah, that sounds sick
This is an informal exclamation expressing excitement
