Octavia, I see the tears in your eyes
Lost in the shadows, under smog-covered skies
You’re searching for stars, but all you find is gray
Feeling like no one hears the words you say
But I’ve been where you are, feeling lost in the night
Wondering if anyone sees your light
Octavia, it’s okay to feel this way
But remember, love’s still here, even when it’s strained
Your dad’s not perfect, but he’s doing his best
Caught up in a mess, trying to clean up the rest
I know it’s hard when promises break
But don’t let the anger be the only thing you take
’Cause I’ve been where you are, feeling lost in the night
Wondering if anyone sees your light
Octavia, it’s okay to feel this way
But remember, love’s still here, even when it’s strained
Sometimes, it’s messy, sometimes it’s rough
But love doesn’t always have to be tough
Hold onto the moments when it feels right
Like now, under this clearing night
So I’ve been where you are, feeling lost in the night
But I see you, Octavia, shining so bright
It’s okay to feel, it’s okay to say
But remember, love’s still here, even when it’s strained
Yeah, remember, love’s still here, even when it’s strained
You’re not alone, Octavia, not today
