lyrics

You get to be fine. That is the part nobody warns you about.
You get to be fine and I get to be a cautionary tale
Your friends say you have grown and mine say I should eat
And we did the exact same thing to each other, exactly

And I was the loud one
So I am the problem
And you were quiet so you are the one who healed

You get to be fine, you get to be fine
And I get to be the girl who could not let it go
You get to be fine, you get to be fine
And I am not letting it go, I am not, I am not

I saw a photo of you laughing at something in October
And I have not been able to eat properly since October

You get to be fine, you get to be fine
And I get to be the girl who could not let it go
You get to be fine, you get to be fine
And I am not letting it go, I am not, I am not

I am not.
