[Verse 1]
Head full of traffic
Thoughts all tangled in this lane
Every little feeling
Fighting for a bit of space
Scrolling through the chaos
Thinking that I’m so messed up
But every single heartbeat
Still begging me to show up
[Pre-Chorus]
Who said I gotta smile all the time?
Who said “you’re too much” for your own mind?
I’m tired of hiding every scar inside
I’m stepping in the light
[Chorus]
It’s okay to feel this way (hey!)
Say it out loud like a battle cry
I’m not broken
I’m alive
Yeah
It’s okay to feel this way (oh!)
Turn every tear to a diamond shade
I’m done running from my brave
So I’m gonna love myself today
(It’s okay to feel this way)
[Verse 2]
Staring at the ceiling
Naming every crack I see
Thinking about the pieces
That make up all of me
I don’t need a filter
To clean up how I hurt
I’m learning that my softness
Is power in this world
[Pre-Chorus]
Who said I gotta “get over it”?
Who said my heart was too sensitive?
I’m done pretending that I don’t exist
I’m shouting this
I’m proud of it
[Chorus]
It’s okay to feel this way (hey!)
Say it out loud like a battle cry
I’m not broken
I’m alive
Yeah
It’s okay to feel this way (oh!)
Turn every tear to a diamond shade
I’m done running from my brave
So I’m gonna love myself today
(It’s okay to feel this way)
[Bridge]
So here’s to the panic
To the nights I couldn’t sleep
Here’s to every heavy day
That’s still a part of me
I’m not a problem
I’m just human in my skin
I’ll breathe it in
Breathe it in
Let the healing begin (yeah)
[Chorus]
It’s okay to feel this way (hey!)
Say it out loud like a battle cry
I’m not broken
I’m alive
Yeah
It’s okay to feel this way (oh!)
Turn every tear to a diamond shade
I’m done running from my brave
So I’m gonna love myself today
(It’s okay to feel this way)
[Outro]
It’s okay
Okay
Okay
I’m learning how to stay
Right here in this heart I’ve made
(It’s okay to feel this way)
