about

This is a song about forgiving yourself, about depression, suicidality, and finding the means to rise above mental health difficulties that might well have killed you.

lyrics

Granny always always told me
No one's ever worth it
Took me twenty years of pain
Six suicide attempts
Three train wrecks for relationships
And losing all my friends
Just to hear the mirror say
Listen to what she said

Mother I'm okay now and it's no thanks to you
Lover I'm okay now and it's no thanks to you
It's just a promise
It's just a promise
I still believe in love
I still believe in love

People like to love you
When someone says it's cool
Keep your faith kill bitterness
But never be that fool
That shit they never cared about
When everybody talked
And when you needed mouth to mouth
Well everybody walked

Daddy I'm okay now and it's no thanks to you
Honey I'm okay now and it's no thanks to you
It's just a promise
It's just a promise
I still believe in love
I still believe in love

Broken and dumb
Still there's a home I can call my own
Helpless and numb
Still I can feel
My brain can get up and run

I'm not okay now and I give thanks to you
I'm fucking strange now and I give thanks to you
But I keep my promises
I'll never give it up
I keep my promises
I will believe in love
I will believe in love
I still believe in love
I still believe in love
