When It Matters

They ask if I'm okay
Okay, okay, okay
Yeah

They ask if I'm okay
I tell them, "Hell yeah, I'm straight" really I'm dying inside
They ask me how I feel
I tell them, "Imma keep it real dawg, I'm dying inside" (Yeah)
Cause when it all falls down that's when they ask you
Why is that when it only matters?
When it all falls down that's when they ask you
Why is that when it only matters? (Aye)

Take me to my salvation
Take me to find a way home
I feel so out of options
Take me God, I'm yours
I'm so lost in emotion
I'm so, so dark and cold
Show me a sign, show me something
Cause I feel so alone

They ask if I'm okay
I tell them, "Hell yeah, I'm straight" really I'm dying inside
They ask me how I feel
I tell them, "Imma keep it real dawg, I'm dying inside" (Yeah)
Cause when it all falls down that's when they ask you
Why is that when it only matters?
When it all falls down that's when they ask you
Why is that when it only matters? (Aye)

I'm not okay, I'm not okay
It's gone be okay, they tell me everyday
All my nights are long, all my days are gray
And if I move on I'll feel so ashamed
That's why I keep your love in my heart
It keeps me from falling apart
This pain is hard to ignore
I can't do it anymore, no
I can't do this anymore
No, no, no, no, no, aye
But here I am
As a boy I never thought that I'd grow as a man
Always felt like getting older just gone go as planned
Yeah I died too that morning when I had buried my friend
And that my brother to the end
Nights spent not sleeping I was trying to understand
I'm begging you God please to wash away my sins
I know that on the surface I'm okay but it's pretend
I want to feel human again

They ask if I'm okay
I tell them, "Hell yeah, I'm straight" really I'm dying inside
They ask me how I feel
I tell them, "Imma keep it real dawg, I'm dying inside" (Yeah)
Cause when it all falls down that's when they ask you
Why is that when it only matters?
When it all falls down that's when they ask you
Why is that when it only matters? (Aye)
