When im not okay

Verse

I want to make a song, but I don’t trust the sound

Every note feels borrowed, every truth feels drowned

I’ve been screaming in my head, but I whisper when I write

’Cause the real things scare me more than saying I’m not right

Pre-C

They say “keep it catchy, don’t say too much”

But the things that break me are the things I don’t touch

Chorus

It’s easy to make a song, let it play and move on

But it’s hard to make a true one when I don’t know where I belong

I don’t want your applause if it’s built on a lie

I just want a song that survives when I’m not okay inside

Verse

I’ve been hiding in the rhyme, dodging what I feel

Turning pain into a metaphor so it don’t feel real

I smile in the mirror like I’ve got it under control

But I’m bleeding through the cracks that I painted in gold

Pre-C

I could dress it up pretty, make the hurt sound clean

But truth don’t come polished, it comes out mean

Chorus

It’s easy to make a song, let it play and move on

But it’s hard to make a true one when I don’t know where I belong

I don’t want your applause if it’s built on a lie

I just want a song that survives when I’m not okay inside

Bridge

If I say what I’m thinking, I might lose it all

If I don’t say it now, I’ll just keep this wall

I’m afraid of silence, but the noise just hurts too mutch

And truth is the hardest thing I’ll ever sing

Break

No beat, no hook, no safety net

Just a voice that’s scared to be honest yet

Final Chorus

It’s easy to make a song, let the pain disguise

But it’s hard to make a true one and look it in the eyes

So I’ll sing it cracked and shaking, let it come undone

’Cause the deepest song I’ll ever write

Is the truest one

I just want a song that survives when I’m not okay inside
