I'm Ok (but not ok)

Verse 1 I got good at saying I'm okay Putting on a smile every day When they ask if I'm doing fine I tell another lie every time Nobody sees the hurt inside All these tears that I try to hide I keep it buried deep below Afraid of what might happen if I let it show Chorus I'm okay... that's what I say But damn it hurts more every day Got a thousand scars nobody sees A broken soul begging for release I'm okay... but that's a lie I've been drowning while getting by Nothing can change this feeling inside Except the one who really knows my mind Verse 2 We all hide something deep within Silent battles we never let in Looking in the mirror face to face With all the pain I can't erase Maybe it's time to let it go Stop carrying this weight alone Maybe healing starts tonight When I stop pretending I'm alright Breakdown I'm tired of hiding! Tired of the lies! Tired of pretending everything is alright! Don't let the pain take control! Final Chorus I'm okay... that's what I said But I won't keep these feelings dead Let it all out, let the healing begin Tomorrow I'll rise again I'm okay... and this time it's true The mirror showed me what I had to do Leave the hurt and pain behind And finally free my mind
