I'm Not Okay (i Promise) Lyrics - My Chemical Romance

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? 

(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) 

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 

(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 o-fucking-kay 

I'm not okay 

I'm not okay
