It’ll Be Alright
[Verse 1]
Don't know what I'm doing, winging it as I go
Flying by the seat of my pants, counting up so I don't explode
How when I'm so tired, you are so awake?
Will I find the strength to teach you not to make the same mistakes I have made?
Bet you can't believe it, but I was small like you
And I had a mom and dad, and I thought the world revolved around me too
They were just doing their best, going off of what they knew
It's hard when you see where they've failed you, and I wonder where I'll fail you
[Chorus]
But it'll bе alright, it'll be alright
I tell myself just likе I tell you
It'll be alright and you'll turn out fine
I tell myself until I believe it's true
[Verse 2]
Time and time again, trying to give you all of my love
Trying to make room for your daddy too and hoping that I have enough
Afraid I'm gonna mess up, sure I'm gonna let you down
How do I teach you all the lessons in life when I'm still trying to figure 'em out?
[Chorus]
But it'll be alright (Everything will be alright), it'll be alright (Everything will be just fine)
That's what I tell myself (Everything will be alright) just like I tell you
It'll be alright (Everything will be alright) and you'll turn out fine (Everything will be just fine)
I tell myself (Everything will be alright) until I believe it's true
[Verse 3]
Here I go again, screaming at the top of my lungs
Does holding your breath and counting to ten really work for anyone?
On and on I go, always giving into my doubts
Comparing myself to other mothers, figuring they've figured it out
[Chorus]
But it'll be alright (Everything will be alright), it'll be alright (Everything will be just fine)
I tell myself (Everything will be alright) just like I tell you
It'll be alright (Everything will be alright) and you'll turn out fine (Everything will be just fine)
I tell myself (Everything will be alright) until I believe it's true
[Verse 4]
Maybe in some ways, showing you my flaws
Will make you kinder to yourself when you see yours
And where I failed, and where I lack
Will you find were for your good when looking back
Ask me so many questions, I have questions too
Do you think you can always forgive me? Can I forgive myself too?
