It’s Okay Not To Be Okay

[Verse 1]
Woke up in yesterday’s clothes
Phone full of unread ghosts
Told everyone “yeah
I’m fine”
Can’t even sell that line
[Chorus]
It’s okay not to be okay
You don’t have to fake the brave face today
You’re not broken
You’re just in the break
It’s okay
It’s okay not to be okay
[Verse 2]
You keep your smile like a shield
But the cracks show in the field
Tired of being your own cure
Tired of acting so sure
[Chorus]
It’s okay not to be okay
You don’t have to fake the brave face today
You’re not broken
You’re just in the break
It’s okay
It’s okay not to be okay
[Bridge]
You’re not a burden
You’re not too much
You’re just a person
Needing a touch
(hey)
If all you do is make it through
That’s enough
That’s enough for you
[Chorus]
It’s okay not to be okay
You don’t have to fake the brave face today
You’re not broken
You’re just in the break
It’s okay
It’s okay not to be okay
(it’s okay)
It’s okay
It’s okay not to be okay
