Lyrics for I'm Not Okay (I Promise) as interpreted by Brandnizzle2k4

I'm Not Okay (I Promise) Lyrics
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 told you time and time again you sing the words but still 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 say you read me like a book
But the pages all are torn and frayed

I'm okay
I'm okay
I'm okay now
I'm okay now

But you really need to 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

This song is actually about suicide, there was a this thing that i listened to that before it played the song one of the members of the band came on and talked about what the song was about.

I love the part in the second video for this song where Frank says, "You know, you've got something in your eye." Then it looks as if he's going to kiss the girl, but instead he pokes her in the eye and wipes the crud off on her arm. Priceless. I think I like the video more than the actual song. It just feels as if this song doesn't fit with the rest of the cd.

I love this song and the video!!! i also like the part where Frank goes "you've got something in your eye". what makes it so funny is that he wipes whatever it was back on her...LOL. and, not to get off topic, but The Used Rocks!!! They are the best band ever, next to MCR and if you don't like them you can go fuck yourself

MUSE--ical, you dont go around advertising Muse on good band lyric pages. That`s for crappy bands. And this is DEFINITELY not a fucking crappy band. This band is teh r0x0rz m@h s0x0rz. Sorry. Had to do that.

Anyways, this song is really addictive, even if you think it`s quite poppy at first. It was also the first song I heard from them (pop-up audio player), and then checked out their cd`s and such and now I`m addicted. Oh, and yea, the video is ownment. So is the solo.

Oh, and insulting The Used is like comparing Taking Back Sunday to the Backstreet Boys.

Wow, I saw the band on Conan too, and it really wasnt that bad. I enjoyed it. Gerard was doing the funky headbanging thing that Ray does during the solo, and they even censored themselves, which I found funny. Frank`s hair was kinda odd though, it reminded me of David from Simple Plan`s hair. It was different. Oh, and Mothra, do NOT compare MCR to Ashlee Simpson. Ever. That`s just horribly wrong and messed up.

Yea i saw the conan show too.. and i also saw them live at the nintendo fusion tour at roseland.. and at roseland they sounded great.. but on conan.. he sounded out of breath out of tune.. i think that his voice is just all fucked up because either

a) hes on a massive amount of drugs and/or alcohol
or
b) his voice sucks cuz they have been touring and performing like nonstop.. thats also wut happened to hoobastank on the mtv awards.. THEY SUCKEDD but no one understood that they just came off a tour

i dunno.. MCR still rox my sox and ill be seeing them at the taste of chaos tour..

It`s reason B. On December 5th, Gerard was having problems with his throat because of so much performing and such, and so Adam from Taking Back Sunday substituted as vocals for I`m Not Okay with them. So yea. Anyways, that gained me alot of respect for Taking Back Sunday (more than I had, at least), that they did that for them.
