I’m Not Okay (I Promise) [Live at Launch]
Hey, we're My Chemical Romance, and we wanna thank you guys so much for voting for us. And this song is called "I'm Not Okay, I Promise."
Come on!
Well if you wanted honesty
That's all you had to say
I never wanted 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 it's not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I told you time and time again
You sing the words
(I'm not okay)
But don't know what they mean
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
You wear me out
Come on!
Whoo!
Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you read me like a book
But the pages are all 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 it, I'm okay (trust me!)
I'm okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not oh-f'ing-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Thank you oh so very, so very much
