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 2nd 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`ve told you time and time again
you sing the words but
don`t know what it means
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`d 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,

well 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-f~~king-kay, i`m not okay, i`m not okay
