This video says it all.

Here are the lyrics for those who have never heard Henry Ate's song, Just, before.

JUST
(Henry Ate – Slap in the Face 1996)Words and music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel (1996) Ate Publishing

Lately I’ve been thinking what if I was wrong
And the world never meant you and I to belong
We’d have wasted so much time building castles in the sky
Only to watch them all fall down
Would it be all of our dreams so well suited to you and I
Could only be half acquired would it be worthwhile?

If I could just understand thisI might then try forgiveness
Know that I will, each time I feel
You’ll be by, you’ll be by, you’ll be by my side
In the end, we’ll still be friends
Ain’t it shocking how your sympathetic world amends
And in time, you’ll realise
I’m not what I seem inside
I go wild, I go wild, I go wild

For lately I’ve been thinking what if you were wrong
And all the things you’ve taken were never meant to be gone
You’d have given a gift from above so freely having given no thoughts to love
And would it be all of your dreams so better suited to someone like me
I would watch you achieve wouldn’t that make me so damn unhappy
On the level thinking back - I…

No if I could just understand this
I might then try forgiveness
Know that I will, each time I feel
You’ll be by, you’ll be by, you’ll be by my side
In the end, we’ll still be friends
Ain’t it shocking how your sympathetic world amends
And in time, you’ll realiseI’m not what I seem insideI go wild, I go wild, I go wild

No if I could just


And here's some more lyrics

I'LL BE FINE
(Henry Ate - Torn and Tattered 2000)Words and music: Karma-Ann Swanepoel (1998) Ate Publishing

I'll be fine
There's no consequence in thinking that
Better or worse the sun still shines
It greets you every morning says
Forever going to take a little

While I am sitting here thinking it over
It's all so much clearer, my heart isn't broken
Just sifting through moments, when I should've seen
This distance between us is the way it was meant to (be)
Is this then our time?The moment when I cry
There always comes a second to say goodbye

So I'll just smile
There's no reason to apologise
For all my intentions I'll survive
Paint a better picture and live in it for just a little..

While I am sitting here thinking it over
Its all so much clearer, my heart isn't broken
Just sifting through moments, when I should have seen
This distance between us is the way it was meant to (be)
Is this then our time?
The moment when I cry
There always comes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye

So is this then our time?
The moment when I cry
There always comes a second

I'll be fine

  1. Daniel Bedingfield - Gotta Get Thru This

    If only I could get through this
    I get through this

    I gotta get through this
    I gotta get through this
    I gotta make it, gonna make, gonna make it through
    I'm gotta get through this
    I gotta get through this
    I gotta take my, gotta take my mind off you

    Give me just a second and I'll be all right
    Surely one more moment couldn't break my heart
    Give me 'til tomorrow then I'll be okay
    Just another day and then I'll hold you tight

    When your love is pouring like the rain
    I close my eyes and it's gone again
    When will I get the chance to say I love you
    I pretend that you're already mine
    Then my heart ain't breaking every time
    I look into your eyes

    If only I could get through this
    If only I could get through this
    If only I could get through this
    God, God gotta help me get through this

    I gotta get through this
    I gotta get through this
    I gotta make it, gonna make, gonna make it through
    Said I'm gonna get through this
    I gotta get through this
    I gotta take my, gotta take my mind off you

    Give me just a second and I'll be all right
    Surely one more moment couldn't break my heart
    Give me 'til tomorrow then I'll be okay
    Just another day and then I'll hold you tight

    When your love is pouring like the rain
    I close my eyes and through a glass's gone again
    When will I get the chance to say I love you
    I pretend that you're already mine
    Then my heart ain't breaking every time
    I look into your eyes

    If only I could get through this
    If only I could get through this
    If only I could get through this
    God, God gotta help me get through this

    If only I could get through this
    God, God gotta help me get through this

    If only I could get through this
    God, God gotta help me get through this

    If only I could get through this...
