A-OK

he says he's doing better now
but i can't believe a word that he says
so we just stay scared

wish i could've listened more
wish that there was someone out there who needed him most
it's what he needs the most

he says 'it was years ago, it's too late to talk
and i know the weight in my bones is all my fault'

i am a-ok, i don't take pills anymore
i am a-ok, i can paint my smile on at the door
sometimes i think that maybe i am just wired this way

you can't tell anyone round here, don't tell anyone
round here
good luck, good luck, good luck, good luck, good luck

i know he keeps telling himself
this is all i deserve and i get what i get
i'm just living in dreams

there's a silver-tongued liar in his head
slowly talked him into whipping himself
but a liar's never happy till he's got you on your knees

he says 'oh, the years go by and i'm frozen where i was
i don't even know anymore what i'm raging for
but it's all my fault'

i am a-ok, i don't take pills anymore
i am a-ok, i can paint my smile on at the door
sometimes i think that maybe i am just wired this way

i know i'm never good enough, who could use somebody like me?
i know i'm never strong enough, who could use somebody like me?
how long have i lost? thinking i was a-ok,
waiting for the echo to change

but i never needed you more
but i never needed you more
maybe i am just wired this way

we are a-ok
we'll be ok
