Lyrics

[Chorus]
I wanna be alright
I wanna be okay
I'm sick of the nightmares
I'm sick of the bad days
I wanna be
[Verse 1]
Sedated, isolated
Lookin' in the mirror and I hate it
Depressed, I never say it
Find me face down on the pavement
[PreChorus]
Maybe it's all my fault
There's no one I can call for help
It's really gettin' worse than I thought
And I'm done
(No prescription makes me better)
[Chorus]
I wanna be alright
I wanna be okay
I'm sick of the nightmares
I'm sick of the bad days
Lookin' for direction (Lookin' for direction)
I'm headed the wrong way (I'm headed the wrong way)
I wanna be alright (I wanna be alright)
I wanna be okay
I wanna be
[Verse 2]
Lobotomized then forget this
Friday night, made a death wish
Saturday felt like shit
I do this to myself 'cause I'm anxious (Damn)
I saw a movie and I wished it was my life
And then I heard a song that I wish I wrote for you
Cigarettes rotting me on the inside
An X-Ray showin' I got more bad news (Fuck)
[Chorus]
I wanna be alright
I wanna be okay
I'm sick of the nightmares
I'm sick of the bad days
Lookin' for direction (Lookin' for direction)
I'm headed the wrong way (I'm headed the wrong way)
I wanna be alright (I wanna be alright)
I wanna be okay (I wanna be okay)
I wanna be
[Bridge]
I don't wanna feel like this anymore
I don't wanna feel like this anymore
I don't wanna feel like this anymore
I don't wanna feel like this
[Chorus]
I wanna be alright (I wanna be alright)
I wanna be okay (I wanna be okay)
I'm sick of the nightmares (I'm sick of the nightmares)
I'm sick of the bad days (I'm sick of the bad days)
Lookin' for direction (Lookin' for direction)
I'm headed the wrong way (I'm headed the wrong way)
I wanna be alright (I wanna be alright)
I wanna be okay (I wanna be)
I wanna be, mm, yeah
