I’m Okay

(Verse 1)

I’ll forever say that I’m okay,

Even with tears in my eyes.

I won’t beg for someone’s sympathy,

No, I’ll never ask you why.

‘Cause when the crying starts to fall

Right in front of you,

That’s the moment that you’ll know

I’ve hit the bottom too.

(Pre-Chorus)

I don’t cry easy, never have before,

So if you see me breaking, I can’t take much more.

(Chorus)

But I’m okay, at least that’s what I say,

Even when my heart gives me away.

I’ll keep fighting through the pain,

Even when the tears won’t fade away.

Yeah, I’m okay…

At least that’s what I’ll say.

(Verse 2)

Once I start crying, you know it’s real,

No way to hide the way I feel.

They tell me, “fight, you’ll be fine, you’ll get through,”

But they don’t know what it feels like to.

And it hits different when it’s just you alone,

Wiping your own tears, whispering, “you’re strong.”

(Chorus)

But I’m okay, at least that’s what I say,

Even when my heart gives me away.

I’ll keep fighting through the pain,

Even when the tears won’t fade away.

Yeah, I’m okay…

At least that’s what I’ll say.

(Bridge – “Plan B”)

Maybe I’ll leave the country,

Disappear without a sound.

Delete all the memories,

Change my name, never be found.

Start a new life where nobody knows,

How deep the quiet in my soul goes.

(Final Chorus)

But I’m okay, I’ll say it again,

Even when I’m breaking from within.

Maybe someday I’ll mean it too,

But for now, “I’m okay” will have to do.
