Click here to read the original lyrics
"I'm ok. I'm ok."
Always chanting those magic words
Like a traffic jam, a traffic jam
My words and heart oppose each other
Because my color is made from
The default colors, thoroughly mixed
Seeming like I'll break yet not breaking
Seeming like I'll overflow yet not spilling
Cause I'm such a fool
I'll never amount to anything
They're magic words, just magic words
Thinking they'll help me would be a huge mistake
They're magic words, just magic words
That I had clung to
Let's end it today
I've lived carelessly up until yesterday
Let's end it today
Choke these careless breaths of life from me
Dear You, Goodbye goodbye
I killed the me from yesterday
Dear You, Goodbye goodbye
A new morning comes, for me
"I'm ok. I'm ok."
I don't think I've made a mistake here
It's a big problem, a big problem, I don't know what's normal
Unimpressed, nonintervening, thrown out when grown tired of
I have to live in this town of drifters
My happiness is a loan
Even if it's all scattered about
I'm the one who won't be saved
I can't become like anyone else
They're magic words, just magic words
Thinking they'll save me would be a huge mistake
They're magic words, just magic words
That I had prayed
Let's end it today
I've lived carelessly up until yesterday
Let's end it today
Choke these careless breaths of life from me
Let's end it today
I've lived carelessly up until yesterday
Let's end it today
Choke these careless sighs of life from me
Dear You, Goodbye goodbye
I killed the me from yesterday
Dear You, Goodbye goodbye
A new morning comes
Dear You, Goodbye goodbye
The me from yesterday fades away
Dear You, Goodbye goodbye
A new morning and me, are both here now
