I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

[Verse 1]

Well, if you wanted honesty

That's all you had to say

I 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?

[Chorus]

I'm not okay

I'm not okay

I'm not okay

You wear me out

[Verse 2]

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 (I'm not okay)

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

[Chorus]

I'm not okay

I'm not okay

I'm not okay

You wear me out

[Bridge]

Forget about the dirty looks

The photographs your boyfriend took

You said you read me like a book

But the pages all are torn and frayed

I'm okay, I'm 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)

[Chorus]

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
