[Verse 1]
D
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,
A
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?

I'm not okay.

I'm not okay.

I'm not okay.
A
You wear me out.

What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems? (I'm not okay)

I'm not okay.
