Lyrics of I'm Not Okay by My Chemical Romance
verse
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
verse
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
I'm not okay
You wear me out
verse
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)
verse
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
I'm not okay
You wear me out
verse
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
chorus
I'm okay, I'm okay
I'm okay now (I'm okay, now)
verse
"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, I'm not okay
