I'm okay
I say I’m fine like I’m okay
Don’t need to darken their day
They don’t need to hear about my intruding pain
It’s not like it matters anyways
They say you fake it till you make it
So I’ll put a smile on my face
I’ll pretend to be okay
I’ll try not to go insane
I’ll try to be okay
All the thing I can’t erase
The memories of my mistakes
The voices that remind me I’m a disgrace
This crushing weight that makes my heart ache
All the things I wish to say
But they won’t care anyway
So instead I’m okay
