I'm okay

You don't know my story, my past, this pain
You couldn't tell
What makes you assume that you know me so well?
Burning while I smile, giving extra mile
If I don't stop this play I think I'm gonna lose it

No, I don't gotta achieve success by a certain age
No, I don't gotta show off
That life is an empty stage
There is no time to live in an abandoned place
I can't speak when I hide behind the curtains

So what so what
I cut off my only scars
So bulletproof, triggers cannot take me out
No encore, no longer
Where I used to be

I pretend that I'm okay but I'm not okay
And I pretend that I'm strong but I'm not that strong
I wanna feel like home
I wanna feel like home
I pretend that I'm okay but I'm not okay
And I pretend that I belong but I don't belong
I wanna feel like home
I wanna feel like home

I have been following script and hiding way too much
Memorizing your sentences, such a cruel judge
I got so much to say
But what role do I play?
If I open up, you are leaving me with bruises

Society puts us in boxes
Call it a freedom - such a lie
Compassion is more than a process
Being alive is not my crime
I know I don't fit in
But why it feels like winning?
Gotta question everything
It's my new beginning

I pretend that I'm okay but I'm not okay
And I pretend that I'm strong but I'm not that strong
I wanna feel like home
I wanna feel like home
I pretend that I'm okay but I'm not okay
And I pretend that I belong but I don't belong
I wanna feel like home
I wanna feel like home
