I’m Not Okay (I Promise) – My Chemical Romance

Words that only appear in the video clip
Ray Toro: You like D&D, Audrey Hepburn, Fangoria, Harry Houdini and croquet, you can’t swim, you can’t dance and you don’t know karate. Face it, you’re never going to make it.
Gerard Way: I don’t want to make it. I just want…
End of words that only appear in the video clip

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
The 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’m not okay)
I’ve told you time and time again, you sing the words but don’t know
(I’m not okay)
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 said you’d 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
(Okay)
