[Verse 1: Danielle, Danielle & Alana]

You know I'm bad at communication

It's the hardest thing for me to do

And it's said it's the most important part

That relationships go through

And I gave it all away

Just so I could say that

Well, I know, I know, I know, I know

That you're gonna be okay anyway

[Verse 2: Danielle, Danielle & Alana]

You know there's no rhyme or reason

For the way it turned out to be

I didn't go and try to change my mind

Not intentionally

I know it's hard to hear me say it

But I can't bear to stay in

I just know, I know, I know, I know

That you're gonna be okay anyway


[Pre-Chorus: Danielle]

Always keep your heart locked tight

Don't let your mind retire

Oh, but I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it

But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire


[Chorus: Danielle]

It felt right (Hey)

It felt right, oh

But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire

It felt right (Hey)

It felt right, oh

But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire, huh

[Verse 3: Alana, Alana & Danielle]

No need to use your imagination

Try and make it what you want it to be

Because I'm sorry I did what I did

But it came naturally

And I gave it all away

Just so I could say that

Well, I know, I know, I know, I know

That you're gonna be okay anyway

[Verse 4: Este, Este & Danielle]

When I tried to keep myself together

After all the opportunities

I tried to stay true to you and I tried to do

What you wanted from me

And I gave it all away

Just to hear you say that

I know, I know, I know, I know

That you're gonna be okay anyway

[Pre-Chorus: Danielle, All]

Always keep your heart locked tight

Don't let your mind retire

Oh, but I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it

But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire

[Chorus: All, Danielle]

It felt right (Hey)

It felt right, oh

But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire

It felt right (Hey)

It felt right, oh

But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire


[Bridge: All]

Always keep your heart locked tight

Don't let your mind retire

Always keep your heart locked tight

Don't let your mind retire

[Pre-Chorus: Danielle, Alana & Este]

Oh, but I just couldn't take it (Always keep your heart locked tight)

I tried hard not to fake it

But I fumbled (Don't let your mind retire)

And when it came down to the wire, ooh yeah

But I just couldn't take it (Always keep your heart locked tight)

I tried hard not to fake it

But I fumbled (Don't let your mind retire)

And when it came down to the wire

[Chorus: Danielle, Danielle & Este, Este]

It felt right (Hey)

It felt right, oh

But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire

It felt right (Hey)

It felt right, oh

But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire

(But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire)

It felt right (Hey)

It felt right, oh

Oh, but I fumbled and when it came down to the wire

Yeah, yeah, yeah (Hey)

It felt right, oh

But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah (But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire)

[Outro: Danielle & Este]

No, no, no, no, no

It felt right (It felt right)

Oh, it felt right (It felt right)

It felt right

No, no, no, no, no

But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire

Yeah
