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

oh yeah purchased rebellion real mature. I make intelligent, insightful remarks on this thread and then you just say that you love the swearing. Swearings for little kids why don't you just grow up and stop posting on this website if you can't say anything decent.

Wow, ppl get pissed off at these sights, no offence Chocolate. I think this is a great song. I don't know much of their other music, but this is great. I love the concept of the song. Being treated like shit just for being who you want to be;and for them it was just flat out weird. It's a song you'll fall in love with. I'll need to get the C-D!

definitely an awesome song...it can be taken so many ways for what you've had to experience, but never fails to get the point across. Sometimes I think people should sing to the people they're mad at intead of just talking to them. I wish i could do it.

This song is for the fans of mcr
example:What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?
-using alcohol and drugs is not the way to live
I told you time and time again you sing the words but still don't know what it means
-the songs has important meanings but some fans just sing along but dont get what mcr are trying to say
To be a joke and look
-paying more attention to their looks than the songs
Another line without a hook
-telling the fans hes going to change
held you close as we both shook for the last time
Take a good hard look!
- fans were the reason he stopped athe addiction thing
