This song is the third and final relationship-inspired track on Mystic. Throughout the album, Mackenzie discusses three stages of a relationship in correlation with the three chapters of the album; "Five Months, Four Days" is the heat of the relationship, "Happy" is the end of the relationship , and "I Still Hope That You're Okay" is the recovery from the relationship.

The meaning of this track to Mackenzie has evolved several times since she wrote it. At first, it was about her ex. She knew he hurt her, and she knew what he did to her, but she still hoped he was okay regardless of that, because he needed it. Later, she realized that she actually didn't care if he was okay or not. She cared about the other people still in his life that she knew he could hurt like he hurt her.Finally, she realized the song had been about herself all along. The only person she could worry about was her.

And at the end of it all, this song also became Mackenzie. In her own process of recovery and getting to a place of being okay again in life.

"I Still Hope That You're Okay" Lyrics:

It’ll never be the same.
I still hope that you’re okay.
Even if you’re not mine,
I still hope you’re doing fine.

You know who you were ―
my bestest friend.
Said we’d make it work...
You made it end.
You wanted more than I could give.
I wanted you, but I had to live
without you.
Without you…
Promise it’s not
about you...
I hope the world does right by you.
I just can’t be there beside you.

I’ll let you go.
I’ll let you…
I’ll let you go.
I’ll let you.
I’ll let you go.
I’ll let you…
I’ll let you go.
I’ll let you.

It’ll never be the same.
I still hope that you’re okay.
Even if we’re not together,
I still hope you’re doing better.
It’ll never be the same.
I still hope that you’re okay.
Even if you’re not mine,
I still hope you’re doing fine.

I hope you’re somewhere
getting treated better than you treated me.
I’ll leave you be.
Just because I miss you doesn’t mean I want you to come back to me.
Just leave me be.

I’ll let you go.
I’ll let you…
I’ll let you go.
I’ll let you.
I’ll let you go.
I’ll let you…
I’ll let you go.
I’ll let you.

It’ll never be the same.
I still hope that you’re okay.
Even if we’re not together,
I still hope you’re doing better.
It’ll never be the same.
I still hope that you’re okay.
Even if you’re not mine,
I still hope you’re doing fine.

[thLife]

Think this is my favorite from the latest releases.
All of Mackenzie's recent music has distinct vibe to it which is dope!

[LumenateTV]

As a person that was in a rough relationship I feel all these tracks on a different level than I think I would without those experiences.

[Teknique]

Love the song, though it is eerie seeing all the shelves stocked.

[technicianlife]

I love that Strange Music is crossing over to different platforms and putting out 🔥 tracks! TECHNICIAN4LIFE!!!

So much depth to her music. The more I listen, the more I fall in love with each individual track. You've created two classix albums already! Both with their own significant feel!

[maxamillion]

I saw this in a ad when I saw strange music sponsoring this I was surprised. Good innovation

[Meltymorty]

One of the best songs off the album Mackenzie just gets better and better the vocals and her inspirational is amazing

[asianquestions]

Never OK ... iz ... Neech Way ... Pain iz Power

[satsunada]

As a person with a history of abuse in my life, I'm always terrified that I'll see that screaming and yelling in a public place. Not because it reminds of my past, but because I don't know what my reaction will be. Will I recoil? Coward. Will I intervene? Can you protect that person for the rest of the day/week/year? Do I have the ability to stop myself from doing something permanent? I hope so.... I'd love to have the optimism to think that person will change, but the reality is that they have to make the choice to do so and if they won't, well.. sometimes the world needs to change their mind.
