"I'm Okay" lyrics
I'm okay, that's what I keep telling everybody, I'm okay
While I watch my whole world burn around me
Smoke filling up the room, now I can't breathe
Too numb to feel the flames but they're killing me
I say I'm okay, I'm okay
Don't you worry about a thing, I'm okay, I'm okay
Yeah, don't you worry about a thing, yeah
I got addictive behavior mixed with ambition and pride
So every time life hits me hard, I pick addiction to hide
Started drinking for the stress and the stress multiplied
Now I'm looking in the mirror, like, ''who the hell am I?''
Funny, used to feel untouchable, now I feel uncomfortable
Silence in the room gets loud the second that the buzz is gone
So I pour another drink, like confidence is bottled up
Klonopin to slow my thoughts, were alcohol just doubles up
Sometimes I mix them both together, hoping I don't wake again
And wake up mad, I'm still alive just to do the same again
Whole time alcohol and ego got me swallowing my problems
Drunk, trying to numb anxiety before it finally tears me up
I make withdrawals from chase while chasing withdrawals
Now I'm withdrawing from the world, watching everything dissolve
That's a double, maybe triple if you think about it
Funny how the richest moments usually leave the deepest damage
Got plaques hanging on walls still collecting dust
And guilt crazy how you can have everything
And still hate yourself for real
And gambling's the same addiction just dressed in another suit
One tells me take another shot, one says double what you lose
And I listen to both, now my life's a casino
Where every bad decision somehow turns into a free throw
I keep shooting my shot knowing damn well I miss
Self-destruction gets addictive when depression exists
But...
I'm okay, that's what I keep telling everybody, I'm okay
While I watch my whole world burn around me
Smoke filling up the room, now I can't breathe
Too numb to feel the flames but they're killing me
I say I'm okay, I'm okay
Don't you worry about a thing, I'm okay, I'm okay
Yeah, don't you worry about a thing
I stopped answering calls, started locking every door
Started hating who I was, so I stopped caring anymore
And that's real 'cause every night I swear I'm changing
Then wake up the next morning, do the same shit I was ashamed of
Alcohol will tell you lies, like you finally feel alive
Till you realize the only thing it did was help you hide
Same with gambling, every hand's another fantasy
You ain't really chasing money, you just desperate for a chance to breathe
And that line hits different when you feel it in your chest
Like your body's still alive but your soul already left
I got family that still love me but I push them all away
'Cause it's hard to let somebody help when you hate yourself this way
I used to dream in colour, now my thoughts are black and white
Like I'm watching old recordings of somebody else's life
And honestly the hardest part ain't even losing cash
It's knowing every bad habit slowly became your mask
Now I smile and say I'm good, like I practiced it for weeks
While my whole world burns around me
And the smoke don't let me sleep
Every morning I say I'm changing
Every night I do the same thing
Trying to fight a war inside me
But I keep losing to me
I'm okay, that's what I keep telling everybody, I'm okay
While I watch my whole world burn around me
Smoke filling up the room, now I can't breathe
Too numb to feel the flames but they're killing me
I say I'm okay, I'm okay
Don't you worry about a thing, I'm okay, I'm okay
Yeah, don't you worry about a thing
While I watch my whole world burn around me
Smoke filling up the room, now I can't breathe
Too numb to feel the flames but they're killing me
I say I'm okay, I'm okay
Don't you worry about a thing, I'm okay, I'm okay
Yeah, don't you worry about a thing, yeah
I got addictive behavior mixed with ambition and pride
So every time life hits me hard, I pick addiction to hide
Started drinking for the stress and the stress multiplied
Now I'm looking in the mirror, like, ''who the hell am I?''
