It's alright,
it's okay,
I understand;
it's not your fault;
it's mine in the end.

I bled out in front of you
Showed you the war in my mind.
You broke down my walls until I was naked and on display.
Oh, only if I knew it would end this way.

When you asked me about my secrets,
did you know you would give them away?
Did I cross your mind when they left your lips that day?

It's alright,
it's okay,
I understand;
it's not your fault;
it's mine in the end.

I introduced you to my demons and let you see my scars and open wounds.
You asked me how I got them and why I find it hard to trust.
I wrote you a poem and gave you a hundred reasons why.
Oh, only if I knew then that you would use it as a guide.

It's alright,
it's okay,
I understand,
it was it her trust or mine
I just wish you would have told me about the game that you played.
I wouldn't have put myself on display.

It's alright,
it's okay

I should have known better;
I should have walked away.
I chose to stay and put myself on display.

So,
It's alright,
it's okay,
I understand,
it's not your fault;
It's mine in the end.
