(You like d&d, Audrey Hepburn, Fangoria, Harry Houdini, and croquet. You can't swim, you can't dance, and you don't know karate. Face it you're never gonna make it.)

(I don't wanna make it, I just wanna...)



Well if you wanted honesty 

That's all you had to say

I never want to let you down or have you go 

"It's better off this way"


For all the dirty looks 

The photographs your boyfriend took 

Remember when you broke your foot 

From jumping out the second floor 


I'm not okay

I'm not okay

I'm not okay 

You wear me out 


What will it take to show you 

That it's not the life it seems (I'm not okay)

I've told you time and time again you sing the words 

But don't know what it means (I'm not okay)


To be a joke and look

Another line without a hook

I held you close as we both shook 

For the last time take a good hard look 


I'm not okay

I'm not okay

I'm not okay

You wear me out 


Forget about the dirty looks 

The photographs your boyfriend took

You said you read me like a book 

But the pages are all torn and frayed


I'm okay

I'm okay

I'm okay now (I'm okay now)

But you really need to listen to me 

Because I'm telling you the truth 

I mean this, I'm okay (Trust me)


I'm not okay

I'm not okay

Well I'm not okay

I'm not o-fucking-kay

I'm not okay

I'm not okay (Okay)
