Instrumental Intro
Verse 1

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

Pre-Chorus

For all the dirty looks

The photographs your boyfriend took

Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?

Chorus

I'm not okay, I'm not okay, hey hey, hey

I'm not okay, hey, hey

You wear me out

Verse 2

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)

Pre-Chorus

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

Chorus

I'm not okay, I'm not okay, hey, hey, hey

I'm not okay, hey, hey

You wear me out

Guitar Solo
Pre-Chorus

Forget about the dirty looks

The photographs your boyfriend took

You said you read me like a book

But the pages all are torn and frayed now

Bridge

But 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

Chorus

I'm not okay, I'm not okay

Well, I'm not okay, I'm not o-fucking-kay

I'm not okay, hey, hey, I'm not okay, —kay
