This story talks about how she’s come to the realization that she is not okay and talks about how she’s been covering up her true feelings when it comes to self loathing and depression.
[Verse 1]
I feel like I'm lying every day
I know when I get home I'll have to pay
Just manipulate and hurt yourself
That's not what matters, not your mental health
[Chorus]
Knowing I look happy makes me good inside
But I'm bad, but I'm not ready to die
Just 'cause I look good on the outside doesn't mean anything
I'm not alright
[Verse 2]
All it means is that I'm trying
Shouldn't that say something?
I mean, let's look at the fact that
Sometimes I can't even get out of bed, you know
Sometimes it's even hard to just pick up a pencil
[Chorus]
Knowing I look happy makes me good inside
But I'm bad, but I'm not ready to die
Just 'cause I look good on the outside doesn't mean anything
I'm not alright
[Verse 3]
Put me in the farthest ward
Maybe then I'll be a little less bored
Lack of contact with who you are
Would leave a little more than a scar
[Chorus]
Knowing I look happy makes me good inside
But I'm bad, but I'm not ready to die
Just because I look good on the outside doesn't mean anything
I'm not alright
Not alright
Not alright
