Life On The Murder

My Chemical Romance Life On The Murder Album

8.I'm Not Okay(I Promise)

Well if you wanted honesty that's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go- it's better off
this way.
For all the dirty looks, for 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 that 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 it means 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.
Forget about the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend
took.
You said you read me like a book, well the pages all are torn
and frayed out.
I'm okay, I'm o-kay. I' m okay now (I'm okay now).
But you really didn't listen to me because I'm telling you the
truth,
I mean this I'm okay- trust me.
I'm not okay. I'm not okay.
Well, I'm not okay, I'm not o' fucking kay.
I'm not okay. I'm not okay (okay).
