Tell Me I’m Okay
I'm having trouble breathing
I swear this air's got no oxygen
But it's thick
With the stink
Of a hundred cigarettes
And I think that I'll be better off
If I just hold my breath
So I hold my breath, hold my tongue
Much too much, for no one
For no reason other than
I'm terrified of being wrong
No, I don't trust the air in here
And I'm sick
With the smell
Of a thousand dying ideas
We used to breathe underwater
Did we ever care for each other?
Tell me I'm real
Tell me I'm good
Tell me
I'll never ever be misunderstood
I'm not having trouble sleeping in
I think I'll sleep through the second coming
It's better on TV
Even better in my head
And I think that I'll be better off
If I just stay in bed
And if there's a god
Then I'm her biggest joke
And if there's not
Then it's just poor dumb luck
We used to breathe underwater
Did we ever care for each other?
Tell me I'm real
Tell me I'm good
Tell me
I'll never ever be misunderstood
I know I'm weak
Tell me I'm strong
Because you know that
I've been faking all along
Sometimes I feel like
I am hanging by a thread
I made all the right decisions and
I turned them on their head
Sometimes I wish that
I could do it all again
I'd get a perfect body
And I'd have the perfect plan
Sometimes I feel like
I am hanging by a thread
I made all the right decisions and
I turned them on their head
Sometimes I wish that
I could do it all again
I'd get a perfect body
And I'd have the perfect plan
Tell me I'm real
Tell me I'm good
Tell me
I'll never ever be misunderstood
I know I'm weak
Tell me I'm strong
Because you know that
I've been faking all along
I swear this air's got no oxygen
But it's thick
With the stink
Of a hundred cigarettes
And I think that I'll be better off
If I just hold my breath
So I hold my breath, hold my tongue
Much too much, for no one
For no reason other than
I'm terrified of being wrong
No, I don't trust the air in here
And I'm sick
With the smell
Of a thousand dying ideas
We used to breathe underwater
Did we ever care for each other?
Tell me I'm real
Tell me I'm good
Tell me
I'll never ever be misunderstood
I'm not having trouble sleeping in
I think I'll sleep through the second coming
It's better on TV
Even better in my head
And I think that I'll be better off
If I just stay in bed
And if there's a god
Then I'm her biggest joke
And if there's not
Then it's just poor dumb luck
We used to breathe underwater
Did we ever care for each other?
Tell me I'm real
Tell me I'm good
Tell me
I'll never ever be misunderstood
I know I'm weak
Tell me I'm strong
Because you know that
I've been faking all along
Sometimes I feel like
I am hanging by a thread
I made all the right decisions and

Sometimes I wish that

I'd get a perfect body
And I'd have the perfect plan
Sometimes I feel like

Sometimes I wish that

I'd get a perfect body
And I'd have the perfect plan
Tell me I'm real
Tell me I'm good
Tell me
I'll never ever be misunderstood
I know I'm weak
Tell me I'm strong
Because you know that
I've been faking all along
