That's Okay

here is my take on it

You were a child Who was made of glass You carried a black heart Passed down from your dad If somebody loved you They'd tell you by now We all turn away when you're down

You were a very fragile child And you were cold and dark just like your dad If somebody loved you, they would have told you by now, but instead, when you need them most they leave you

You want to go back To where you felt safe To hear your brother's laughter See your mother's face Your childhood home Is just powder-white bones And you'll never find your way back

You wish you could go back to the simpler easier days of childhood but this time has disintegrated and there is no way to ever get it back

And when you're gone Will they say your name? And when you're gone Will they love you the same? If not, that's okay If not, that's okay

And once you die will they still talk about and remember you? Will they love you? If not, thats okay because acceptance isnt the most important thing in life

You are broken and callow Cautious and safe You are boundless in beauty With fright in your face Until someone loves you I'll keep you safe But, like them, I will give you away

You are troubled and weak obviously, cautious and safe you are beautiful but i can see you are frightened. Until you are loved i will take you in but at some point im sure i will leave you too

This song to me is about a man who grew up and was always wishing to go back to his childhood, and now is so depressed that he is near suicidal. wonderful song
