Title: I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say


never want to let you down or have you go


It's better off this way


For all the dirty looks


The photographs your boyfriend took


Remember when you broke your foot 


From jumping out the second floor

I'm not okay


I'm not okay


I'm not okay


You wear me out


What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems


(I'm not okay)

I've told you time and time again


You sing the words but don't know what it means


To be a joke and look


Another line without a hook


I held you close as we both shook for the last time


Take a good hard look

I'm not okay


I'm not okay


I'm not okay


You wear me out


Forget about the dirty looks


The photographs your boyfriend took


You said you'd read me like a book


But the pages are all torn and frayed

i 

'm okay


im okay


I'm okay, now


(I'm okay, now)


But you really need to listen to me


Because I'm telling you the truth


I mean this, I'm okay


(Trust me)

I'm not okay


I'm not okay


Well, I'm not okay


I'm not o-fucking-kay


I'm not okay


I'm not okay


(Okay)
