"I'm Okay"

You carry the world on your shoulders

And you hide so much under the waters

And you think that no one sees

You try not to feel like a burden

So you act like you're fine when you're drifting

All alone at sea

The world's in a hurry

But you just want to feel safe

You keep your feet steady

Knowing you're about to break

You've been running empty

But you give more than you can anyway

And when things get heavy

You tell them you're okay

You battle the lies they've been throwing

You're afraid to show signs that you're sinking

So you just keep sailing through

At times when you're lost in the ocean

And you crash against waves of emotions

You wonder if they're lonely, too

The world's in a hurry

But you just want to feel safe

You keep your feet steady

Knowing you're about to break

You've been running empty

But you give more than you can anyway

And when things get heavy

You tell them you're okay

Please take me home

Don't know where to go

I've turned every stone

But I'm just getting old

Do I just wait for the sun to come up

'Til the day's had enough of me

Will I ever learn to give love

Without leaving ourselves to bleed

Please take me home

Where no one's alone

I just wanna know a home

Where we can grow old

Do I just wait for the sun to come up

'Til the day's had enough of me

Do you ever learn to give love

Without leaving ourselves to bleed

Which way is home

The world's in a hurry

But you just want to feel safe

You keep your feet steady

Knowing you're about to break

You've been running empty

But you give more than you can anyway

And when things get heavy

And they always get heavy

You trust that it will be okay
