[Verse 1]
My mind moves slow today
Like mud in my shoes
I take the little pills
Just to make it through
Dad asks if I’m okay
I look him in the eye
I smile and play it cool
I say I’m alright
[Pre-Chorus]
I know what he can’t see
The weight I carry home
But I keep my voice steady
I keep my face composed
[Chorus]
I’m alright, I’m alright
That’s what I say tonight
I’m alright, I’m alright
Even when it takes all night
I’m alright, I’m alright
Baby, I’m hanging on
I’m alright, I’m alright
Just a little bit gone
[Verse 2]
You left a bruise in me
Right where the sun should be
I thought I’d fall apart
But I still got me
I cried in the bathroom light
Then washed my face clean
Heartbreak hit hard, sure
But it didn’t take me
[Pre-Chorus]
I know what I’ve survived
I know what pain can do
It tried to make me empty
I still came back for you
[Chorus]
I’m alright, I’m alright
That’s what I say tonight
I’m alright, I’m alright
Even when it takes all night
I’m alright, I’m alright
Baby, I’m hanging on
I’m alright, I’m alright
Just a little bit gone
[Bridge]
If I shake, if I fade
If I need more time
Don’t mistake my silence
For an empty mind
I’m still here
I’m still mine
[Chorus]
I’m alright, I’m alright
That’s what I say tonight
I’m alright, I’m alright
Even when it takes all night
I’m alright, I’m alright
Baby, I’m hanging on
I’m alright, I’m alright
Just a little bit gone
