[Verse 1]
You say you want the truth
I say I'm living proof
All bones and misspent youth without you
[Verse 2]
My senses all seem torn
My eyes and ears are worn
My wicked lips have sworn their last words
[Pre-Chorus]
I fear a tragedy
The skeleton of mutiny
Has packed me in and shut me down
[Chorus]
But it's just a big, fake heartache
And I'm alright now
[Verse 3]
I know that it's too late
To reconcile our fate
I left it at the gate in pieces
[Verse 4]
We broke the beggar's code
And spent some crooked gold
Now we've been bought and sold forеver
[Pre-Chorus]
Ring out the bells of timе
Tell everybody I'm alive
Tell them I made it through somehow
[Chorus]
For it was a big, fake heartache
And I'm alright now
[Bridge]
And you swear redemption's coming soon
But I read different in your horoscope
I know you read it too
[Verse 5]
Pray you will find a way
Pray you will see the day
Just hope and plead and pray forgiveness
[Pre-Chorus]
I fear no tragedy
The skeleton of mutiny
Has lost its cause and run aground
[Chorus]
For it was a big, fake heartache
And I'm alright now
[Coda]
I'm alright now, alright now
I'm alright now, alright now
I'm alright now
