Be Alright Lyrics
I look up from the ground
To see your sad and teary eyes
You look away from me
And I see there's something you're trying to hide
And I reach for your hand but it's cold
You pull away again
And I wonder what's on your mind
And then you say to me you made a dumb mistake
You start to tremble and your voice begins to break
You say the cigarettes on the counter weren't your friends they were my mates
And I feel the color draining from my face
And my friends said
"I know you love her, but it's over, mate
It doesn't matter, put the phone away
It's never easy to walk away, let her go
It'll be alright"
So I asked to look back at all the messages she'd sent
And I know it wasn't right but it was fucking with my head
And everything deleted like the past, yeah it was gone
And when I touched your face, I could tell you were moving on
But it's not the fact that you kissed him yesterday
It's the feeling of betrayal, that I just can't seem to shake
And everything I know tells me that I should walk away
But I just want to stay
And my friends said
"I know you love her, but it's over, mate
It doesn't matter, put the phone away
It's never easy to walk away, let her go
It'll be okay
It's gonna hurt for a bit of time
So bottoms up, let's forget tonight
You'll find another and you'll be just fine
Let her go"
But nothing heals the past like time
And they can't steal
The love you're born to find
But nothing heals the past like time
And they can't steal
The love you're born to find
"I know you love her, but it's over, mate
It doesn't matter, put the phone away
It's never easy to walk away, let her go
It'll be okay
It's gonna hurt for a bit of time
So bottoms up, let's forget tonight
You'll find another and you'll be just fine
Let her go"
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
Meaning of Be Alright
“Be Alright” by Dean Lewis is a devastatingly honest portrayal of lingering heartbreak and the agonizing struggle to move on, framed within the well-intentioned but ultimately frustrating advice of friends. The narrative unfolds through a tense exchange where the speaker discovers his partner’s infidelity – revealed through a cryptic admission about cigarettes and a desperate attempt to erase their shared history by deleting messages – and immediately spirals into a vortex of self-doubt and clinging attachment. It's not simply about a romantic betrayal; it’s about the profound difficulty of accepting loss, particularly when coupled with the irrational desire to hold onto a painful memory. The repeated refrain, “It’ll be alright,” delivered by his friends, initially offers comfort but quickly becomes a hollow echo of reality as the speaker recognizes that time alone cannot heal the deep-seated wound. Lewis masterfully captures the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of regret and longing, where every attempt to detach is met with an overwhelming wave of emotion. The song’s core message isn't about offering simplistic solutions, but acknowledging the brutal truth that some loves are irrevocably lost and that true healing requires accepting this painful realization rather than desperately trying to rewrite the past. Ultimately, "Be Alright" resonates because it exposes a universal human experience – the stubborn refusal to let go, even when logic dictates otherwise, and the quiet desperation for something to simply *be* okay again.
