Trying to Be Okay

[Intro]
Walking through shadows, trying to find my way
Every step feels heavier, but I keep the fight at bay

[Verse 1]
Hidden behind a smile, a silent scream inside
Holding back the tears, no one needs to see me cry
Fighting off the doubts that whisper in my mind
Trying to stay afloat, but I’m running out of time

[Pre-Chorus]
I tell myself I’ll be okay someday
Even when it feels so far away

[Chorus]
I feel not okay, but I try anyway
Hiding all my pain behind a brave facade
Every day’s a battle, still I push through
Not okay, but I’m doing what I have to do

[Bridge]
Sometimes I fall, sometimes I break
But I get up and I remake
My own courage from the ache
Chasing hope in the darkest night
Struggling just to keep in sight

[Outro]
So here I stand, unmasked, unsure
Yet still fighting, trying to endure
Not okay, but I will keep trying
One step at a time, no denying
