I might say I'm O.K.,
But don't you see the pain burning me from inside?
Don't you see that I'm not O.K.?
Can't you tell the lie of a fake smile?
Can't you see how I really feel?
I'll tell you
I'm not O.K.
Only in the darkness will I shed my tears,
For the thought of you knowing brings out my fears.
I stop a second to think
Don't you know how life really is for me?
Don't you see the color gone from my cheeks?
The life sucked right out of me?
Can't you tell?
You say you know me,
But do you know how I feel?
I'll tell you
I'm not O.K.
So don't bother asking if I'm O.K.!
Because I'll just give a silent nod,
And you won't know the difference.
