I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

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



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

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)



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)
