I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

by RetroRavey   Jun 22, 2007


Alone in the land of green.
No one coming to my rescue...
The small town blues wash over me,
And I cry myself to sleep.
You ask me what's wrong,
And I lie.
I'm not okay,
But I go on...

You hold me and I wonder,
Are you who you claim...
The thoughts rush through me,
And I cry in your arms.
You ask me what's wrong,
And I lie.
I'm not okay,
But I love you the same...

Alone and out of luck.
Tripping over my own two feet,
The pain washes over me,
And I cry to the mirror.
I ask myself what's wrong,
And I don't lie.
I'm not okay,
I promise.
