Can you remember ever having any fun?
’Cause when it’s all said and done I always believed we were,
but now i’m not so sure. (oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I drink a gin and take a couple of my pills,
and my parade will give you chills.
Oh honey, don't give me up. (oh oh oh oh)
I know we've had enough.
You should go if you want to.
Yeah go if you want to.
I’ll be alright, be alright.
Well I’ve made so many messes,
and this love has grown so restless.
Your whole life's been nothing but this.
I won’t let you go, not unless I'll be alright.
I’ll be alright.
I’m so self loathing that its hard for me to see
reality from what I dream.
No, no one believes me.
No, not a single thing.
My brain is racing and I feel like i’ll explode
You’re looking at me from below.
This world wasn’t made for you.
Just go find someone new.
You should go if you want to.
Yeah go if you want to.
I’ll be alright, be alright.
Well I’ve made so many messes,
and this love has grown so restless.
Your whole life's been nothing but this.
I won’t let you go, not unless I'll be alright.
I’ll be alright.
Why do I keep holding onto suffering?
Heads gone off, now walls, my thoughts are stumbling
This party's over love, it isn’t happening.
The wind in my sails could tell I'm only recovering.
You should go if you want to.
Yeah go if you want to.
I’ll be alright, be alright.
Well I’ve made so many messes,
and this love has grown so restless.
Your whole life's been nothing but this.
I won’t let you go, not unless I'll be alright.
I’ll be alright.
’Cause when it’s all said and done I always believed we were,
but now i’m not so sure. (oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I drink a gin and take a couple of my pills,
and my parade will give you chills.
Oh honey, don't give me up. (oh oh oh oh)
I know we've had enough.
You should go if you want to.
Yeah go if you want to.
I’ll be alright, be alright.
Well I’ve made so many messes,
and this love has grown so restless.
Your whole life's been nothing but this.
I won’t let you go, not unless I'll be alright.
I’ll be alright.
I’m so self loathing that its hard for me to see

I’ll be alright.

I won’t let you go unless I'll be alright.
I’ll be alright.
I’m so self loathing that its time for me to see
Reality from what i dream
No, no one believes me
No, not a single thing
My pain is racing and i feel like i’ll explode (oh!)
You’re looking at me from below,
this robe wasn’t made for you
Just go for someone new
You should go if you want to
Yeah go if you want to
I’ll be alright, be alright
Well i’ve made so many messes
And this love has grown so restless
Your whole life has been nothing but this
I won’t let you go unless I'll be alright.
I’ll be alright.

"Why do I keep holding on to suffering?
Heads gone on now, walls, my thoughts are stumbling,
this party is over now, it isn't happening.
The wind in the sails could tell I'm only recovering."
In this song I hear: a) manic episode b) realizing how awful you are being to your loved ones and c) dangerous self delusion about being able to handle your problems on your own
I base this interpretation on this quote:
"Everyone was telling her, 'Why are you with this guy?' At a certain point, she realized, 'Wait, Michael hasn't seen his doctors in a while, he's fucking manic.' If she had left me, there is no question that I would have killed myself. I don't remember anything I did-- which is terrifying, because now I have to live with this guilt." (pitchfork.com/features/cover-story/8893-rite-of-passion/)
So the song may say "I'll be alright if you leave" but the singer WILL NOT BE ALRIGHT. It's amazing and so, so sad.
So this song for me is about where you are mentally *just before* you realize how much you need other people, even if you hurt them, and that in the end they get to chose whether you are worth it
"Your whole life has been nothing but this
I won't let you go UNLESS
I'll be alright
I'll be alright"
It makes more sense and parallels better with the opening lines of the chorus.
Also the final verse sounds more like:
"Why do I keep housing on the SEPARATE
Heads go on now where's my thought to stumbling
This party is over now it isn't happening
The wind in the SAILS COULD TELL I'M ONLY RECOVERING"
That's just my two cents...
