In Stride Lyrics by John Louis

I’ll Be Fine

2020

When the nights get long
And I've thought circles 'round you
When I don't feel strong
I collapse; I break in two
It's like I'm holding on
To a red-hot iron ladder
I know I can't let go;
I need to just move faster
Wish I could just go faster
I think it's time I redefine
This heartache as biding my time
If I can tell myself I'm better off
I might believe it
I wonder why I run and hide
From bitter ghosts I recognize
This time, I'll hold my head up
This time, I'll take it all in stride
This time, I'll take it all in stride
Guess I misunderstood
All the things I had to do
To make you care about me
To make me worth something to you
I put in all the hours
I tried to stay inside the lines
For thieves and snakes around my neck
Saying it's my fault that I'm not fine
It's your fault that I'm not fine sometimes
I think it's time I redefine
This heartache as biding my time
If I can tell myself I'm better off
I might believe it
I wonder why I run and hide
From bitter ghosts I recognize
This time, I'll hold my head up
This time, I'll take it all in stride
Take it all in stride
Someday soon, I'll see myself
Ten thousand feet above the rain
See how I carried you around
Until I broke beneath the weight
And I'll take a part of you with me
Forever feel your arid eyes
But I'll throw your baggage off my back
And I’ll leave my brokenness behind
I know it’s time I redefine
This heartache as biding my time
If I can tell myself I'm better off
I might believe
I wonder why I run and hide
From bitter ghosts I recognize
This time, I'll hold my head up
This time, I'll take it all in stride
This time, I'll take it all in stride
This time, I'll take it all in...
