"I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" by My Chemical Romance
And the story begins with a song of rebellion...
Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say.
It's funny, because I thought that sitting on the sidelines would make things easier.
I thought I was helping out by not showing how I really felt,
by not having her have to deal with my stupid feelings.
Instead I've been pissing her off because she wants me to be honest,
to be open, to tell her the truth.
She wants our "friendship" to continue on,
and that won't be possible if we aren't honest with each other.
Well, if that's what she wants, here it goes...

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
It's gotten to the point where it's way beyond weird.
I have put on this fake veneer because I never wanted to hurt you.
(I'm not okay)
How can I be against what you have, what you want?
You've always been there for me, despite jealousy.
Why shouldn't I be able to do the same?
(I'm not okay)
But by the same token how can you not tell that it's tearing me apart?
I saw how you were dying inside when I got back with you know who.
It was quite obvious. How can you not know this time around?

...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
So yeah, I'm a little jealous.
And yes, part of me always thought this would end up perfectly,
like a T.V. show or a movie.
But instead you're with him,
the same guy that already hurt you.
But the good guy never really gets the girl, does he?
You think I'd be used to it by now,
that I'd be okay.
But the truth is...

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
And the truth is, I've gotten past it.
I'm okay!
And I'm alright with this.
I'm okay, now
I mean, I have to be.
(I'm okay, now)
Because when all is said and done...
But you really need to listen to me
When you really break it all down...
Because I'm telling you the truth
There is nothing I can really do about it.
I mean this, I'm okay!
No matter how much I love you.
(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
(Okay)
I'll be just fine...
at first glance I thought it was going to be dumb, but now that I got to the end I really like it :) Good work champ
