"I'm Not Okay" lyrics
Yeah, lately I been lost
There's something I can't find
I had it all figured out
Up until someone I love died
Look at me talk about family
It's funny cause I never see mine
I used to send them a voicemail
Now, I wish I could say bye
Uncle Johnny, I'm so sorry
I didn't pick up your phone calls
And we didn't go golf
Now I just go to your graveside
Please, mother forgive me
Cause I'm not too busy to rock shows
But I'm still too busy to come home
And hop on a plane ride
Why is it the ones we needed
Most they leave us?
I wanted you to stay
How can they be here one day
And no you're not staying
Gone tomorrow, hey
No I'm not okay, okay, okay
No I'm not okay, okay, okay
Why is it the ones we needed
Most they leave us?
I wanted you to stay
The people we lost
Where did they go?
Time is a cost
And it's taking its toll
Everything I love is in Chicago
I been on the run
But I need to get home
I need to get home now
It's funny time never slows down
Kinda homesick, I'm in a big city
But it feels empty as a ghost town
When I walk around I'm so confused
Please, God, no more bad news
My mother lost three of her brothers
My uncles John, Paul, and Cruz
Oh, how I never thought we'd lose
Aunt Trish she was gone too soon
I'll miss you all plus my dogs till heaven calls me too
Hey, please don't leave me here
Stay, cause I need you near
Pray, that I'll see you again one day
In heaven, I'll meet you there
Why is it the ones we needed
Most they leave us?
I wanted you to stay
How can they be here one day
And no you're not staying
Gone tomorrow, hey
No I'm not okay, okay, okay
No I'm not okay, okay, okay
Why is it the ones we needed
Most they leave us?
I wanted you to stay
When all is said and done
We're here today, here today
And gone tomorrow
Maybe love can teach us faith
Heal this pain and all the sorrow
When all is said and done
We're here today, here today
And gone tomorrow
Maybe love can teach us faith
Heal this pain and all the sorrow
Why is it the ones we needed
Most they leave us?
I wanted you to stay
How can they be here one day
And no you're not staying
Gone tomorrow, hey
No I'm not okay, okay, okay
No I'm not okay, okay, okay
Why is it the ones we needed
Most they leave us
I wanted you to stay
There's something I can't find
I had it all figured out
Up until someone I love died
Look at me talk about family
It's funny cause I never see mine
I used to send them a voicemail
Now, I wish I could say bye
Uncle Johnny, I'm so sorry

And we didn't go golf
Now I just go to your graveside
Please, mother forgive me
Cause I'm not too busy to rock shows
But I'm still too busy to come home
And hop on a plane ride
Why is it the ones we needed

How can they be here one day
And no you're not staying
Gone tomorrow, hey
No I'm not okay, okay, okay
No I'm not okay, okay, okay
Why is it the ones we needed
