I'M NOT OKAY (I PROMISE)
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way
For all the dirty looks, for 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 told you time and time again
You sing the words but still 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 say you read me like a book
But the pages all are 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 [unverified]
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
(Okay)
