About This Song


When my daughter experienced her first heartbreak, I needed some way to let her know we felt her pain, but also knew she'd be okay!

You’ll Be Okay

Written by Mark Lawhorne

You came home crying, didn’t say a word
Dropped your backpack, barely stirred
Your Mom saw the pain behind the tears
I knew right then that boy had said goodbye

You gave your heart like it was gold
Thought love was simple, sweet, and bold
Now you’re curled up on the bed with Mom
While I try to act like I’m staying calm

But you’ll be okay, baby girl, just wait
He was never the one, just a twist of fate
You’ve got your mama’s strength, your daddy’s pride
And your friends are just a text away tonight
It hurts like fire, but the pain won’t stay
You’ll laugh about this someday
You’ll be okay

Your best friends showed up to comfort you
Told you he’s not worth the tears
Put on your playlist, turned up the sound
Said, “Let’s dance it out ‘til the sun goes down”

I’ll see the light come back in your smile
You’ll only let the sadness stay a while
You’re tougher than you even know
And love’s got more than one road to go

Yeah, you’ll be okay, baby girl, just wait
He was never the one, just a twist of fate
You’ve got your mama’s strength, your daddy’s pride
And your friends are never far away
It hurts like fire, but the pain won’t stay
You’ll laugh about this someday
You’ll be okay

One day, you’ll meet someone who sees
Every beautiful piece of who you are
But ‘til then, we’re right here holding tight
You’re never alone on a long, hard night

Yeah, you’ll be okay, baby girl, just wait
The right hearts out there, it’s just running late
You’ve got your mama’s grace, your daddy’s fight
Go with your team for a girls’ night out

It hurts like fire, but it fades away
You’ll love again, in a brighter way
You’ll be okay
Yeah, baby girl…
You’ll be okay
