I’m Not Okay (I Promise) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Gerard Way]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Gerard Way]
For all the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
Remember when you broke your foot
From jumping out the second floor?

[Chorus: Gerard Way]
I'm not ok
I'm not ok
I'm not ok
You wear me out

[Verse 2: Gerard Way]
What will it take to show you
That it's not the life it seems?
(I'm not ok)
I've told you time and time again
You sing the words
But don't know what it means
(I'm not ok)

[Pre-Chorus: Gerard Way]
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

[Chorus: Gerard Way]
I'm not ok
I'm not ok
I'm not ok
You wear me out

[Pre-Chorus: Gerard Way]
Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you read me like a book
But the pages all are torn and frayed now!

[Bridge: Gerard Way]
But I'm ok, I'm ok!
I'm ok now, "I'm ok now"
But you really need to
Listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth!
I mean this, I'm ok! "Trust me..."

[Chorus: Gerard Way]
I'm not ok
I'm not ok
Well, I'm not ok
I'm not o-fμcκ¡ng-kay!
I'm not ok
I'm not ok...
