This song is about living unapologetically with who we are as individuals. It's ok to be ok with who you are as a person, because only you fully understands what it's like to be YOU - regardless of the expectations others might have for you.
lyrics
I’m the only one who knows the feeling of walking in my own skin
I pull the shades all the way down so the light can never make it in
All this potential with nothing to give, I drank all that was in my cup
I've given everything I have away, so now I'm just making it up
(Sorry)
It’s ok, not everyone will understand
It’s ok, I can only be who I am
It’s ok, if other’s want to walk on by
It’s in the end you know I’ll be just fine
I'll be just fine
I’m the only one who knows the reason to why I think the way I do
I carried more than I could take now I leave it on the side for you
All this for nothing and now all I got is problem with authority
I loosened up this knot in my net and now I’m only left with a string
(Sorry)
It’s ok, not everyone will understand
It’s ok, I can only be who I am
It’s ok, if other’s want to walk on by
It’s in the end you know I’ll be just fine
I'll be just fine
