It's Okay - BTOB
English Lyrics by Vicky Huang
Verse 1:
Those shoulders look heavy on you
But to lay those heavy burdens down
I know it's so hard to do
They say to take a break
When you feel that your dreams are driftin away
Tell me how is life today?
Prechorus:
Do you struggle the same way every day, oooo
Why you doin' this to you?
Don't live for someone else's day
When you're feeling down and think you're alone
Just listen to this song
Chorus:
Remember all your favourite melodies, ooh
The voices flowin' from the radio so free
If there's one thing I can do
Let me sing this song for you
Even when it's hard
It's okay, it's okay,
Everything will be alright
I believe in you
(Rap)
These past three years I've wandered
in and out, nobody wants me
I wonder if I should just give up, and live my own dream
I tell my parents, I feel their disappointment
That's why I couldn't tell them about losing my employment
Thought I was doin' so well, I was on the right track
But when midterms came by, oh my marks they dropped right back
My teammates they ignore me, my friends they all desert me, oh
8 billion people for one goal and then
I guess there's little me
Loud alarm, jolts me up, rush me from the break of dawn
Brush my teeth, pack up to leave, time chases me like I'm a little fawn
I'm standing at the edge of a cliff, my thoughts trying to lure me in, asking why am I here? What do I do?
Only silence echoes through
I'm folded into a paper boat
Floating, aimless, trying to get home
Force down my tears
Swallow my fears
My sighs, getting deeper by the years
I know, this is foolish to do
But somehow I still act like I’m cool
Whenever people ask, I say I'm okay
(I'm okay, I'm okay)
(My bright past where did you go?)
Chorus:
Remember all your favourite melodies, ooh
The voices flowin' from the radio so free
If there's one thing I can do
Let me sing this song for you
Even when it's hard
It's okay, it's okay,
Everything will be alright
I believe in you
Bridge:
All the family that I love
All my friends whom I adore
I haven't seen y'all in so long
Even though we've promised to hang out
It'd be so nice to just have some time, just some free time
For me to get out of this lonely place
Now this song is almost over
There's still so much I haven't covered
Everyone probably feels the same way I do
Chorus:
Remember all your favourite melodies, ooh
The voices flowing out the radio so free
The only thing that I can do
Is to sing this song for you
Even when it's hard
It's okay, it's okay, everything will be alright
I believe in you

...I don't think I can thank this song enough. Although many songs have gotten me through rough days, this song has done so the most. It's my go-to song to cry to, because those shoulders of mine felt so heavy, yet its burdens so hard to lay down. I just feel understood by it, you know?
Hang in there, my friend...I believe in you.
