Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You showed up like a storm
In a season I had settled
I let your warmth disarm me
Till I wasn't on my level
Carried every silence
Like a weight I had to answer
Thought your distance meant I'd failed
Till I learned I'm not your dancer

[Pre-Chorus]
If you came close, I would meet you
That was and still is true
But if you pull away, I stay standing
That's what my heart has learned to do

[Chorus]
You soon brought the blues
When you walked into my chapter
I was fine before you
So, I can be good after
I can be good after-after-after
I can be good after-after-after
I can be good after
I'll be good after
You don't get to own my mind
Many things I'm grateful for in life, so I'll be fine
I can be good after-after-after
I can be good after-after-after

[Verse 2]
I used to take your absence
As a message I was lacking
But now I see your patterns
Aren't reflections of my actions
I won't chase the inconsistent
I won't crumble for your comfort
If your heart can't move beside me
Mine knows how to move onward

[Pre-Chorus]
If you came close, I would meet you
That was and still is true
But if you pull away, I stay standing
That's what my heart has learned to do

[Final Chorus]
You soon brought the blues
When you walked into my chapter
I was fine before you
So, I'm even stronger after
I can be good after-after-after
I can be good after-after-after
I can be good after
I'll be good after
You don't get to own my mind
Took my power back this time
I can be good after-after-after
I'll be good after
