this song is about mental illness. it’s about moving forward and refusing to let the “goblin” (aka depression) in your brain control the way you live. telling yourself that things will be fine, even when they’re not. something I am still trying to remind myself. it’s also my mom’s favorite on the new album.

LYRICS:

sleeping my days away

shaking off the pain

the bitterness, and the shame

what you did, i can't forget

what could it have really meant

when you said you're fine

it'll heal in time

it'd be a cardinal sin to let you in

you won't remain a resident

in my brain

you won't remain

lying to myself

and everyone else

to ease the pain and the shame

where you went i won't know

i wish i could fold

all my regrets

and what i could've said

I’ll be just fine, I’ll be just fine

I’ll be just fine, it’ll heal in time
