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 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
bracketed
i've told you time and time
again you sing the words but
don't know what it means
bracketed
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 read me like a book but
the pages all are torn and frayed
i'm okay
i'm okay
i'm okay now
bracketed
but you really need to listen to me
because i'm telling you the truth
i mean this i'm okay
bracketed
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
bracketed
