(Sarcastic almost funny ironic)
[Verse 1]
Phone keeps ringing
I let it die
If it’s important
They’ll try again, right?
Everybody’s talking
Big life plans
I’m just proud
I put on pants
Scrolling through the highlights
Perfect, filtered lives
Everyone’s a model
With ten thousand vibes
Looking in the mirror
Practice my “I’m fine”
Nailed it for a second
Then forgot the line
[Chorus]
It’s okay not to be okay
Honestly, who is anyway?
You don’t have to glow
You don’t need a perfect day
Or inspirational things to say
It’s okay not to be okay
Skip the pressure, mute the play
Still alive, still here
That’s impressive, by the way
[Verse 2]
People say “just think positive”
Like it’s a trend
Like I can download
A happier brain
“Go outside, get sunlight”
Drink some green tea
Sure, I’ll fix my feelings
By buying vitamin D
Still that awkward kid
Living in my head
Overthinking stuff
I probably never said
Some days I shine
Some days I break
Some days brushing teeth
Is a big-time win to take
[Chorus]
It’s okay not to be okay
Honestly, who is anyway?
You don’t have to glow
You don’t need a perfect day
Or inspirational things to say
It’s okay not to be okay
Skip the pressure, mute the play
Still alive, still here
That’s impressive, by the way
[Bridge]
If all you did today
Was breathe and stay
Congrats
Five stars
Didn’t run a race
Didn’t change the world
Still counts
Gold stars
[Final Chorus]
It’s okay not to be okay
Honestly, who is anyway?
You don’t have to glow
You don’t need a perfect day
Or inspirational things to say
It’s okay not to be okay
Skip the pressure, mute the play
Still alive, still here
That’s impressive, by the way
(It’s okay not to be okay)
Outro]
World’s still spinning
Bills still due
Sun came up
Without my cue
Didn’t fix my life today
Didn’t find some higher way
But I’m still breathing
Still in my skin
Didn’t lose
So I didn’t win
Call it average
Call it gray
I guess I survived another day
So if tomorrow
Feels the same
No big speech
No big flame
I’ll just wake up
Try again
Maybe brush my teeth by ten
It’s okay
Not to glow
Some of us
Just move slow
Still here anyway
And that’ll do for today.
