# EVERYTHING’S NOT OKAY [Intro — Spoken, Minimal Beat] “How are you?” “Fine.” “Everything’s fine.” Is it? [Verse 1 — Rhythmic, Almost Spoken] You don’t laugh at my jokes You just stare at the wall You don’t fight at the table You don’t fight me at all You take out the garbage Like you’re trying to disappear I’ve been asking for days now But I can’t get near “Good morning, honey Tell me, how are you?” “Fine, Mom. I’m fine.” But I know that isn’t true [Pre-Chorus — Beat Building] Give me your eyes Just for a second Open a window Let me in [Chorus — Punchy, Repetitive] Don’t tell me everything’s fine Don’t say the word and close the door You don’t have to make it better You don’t have to know what for Just let me hear your not-okay Let it out, let it arrive I can’t take the hurt away But I can sit with you tonight Don’t tell me everything’s fine Just let me know what’s on your mind [Verse 2 — Tighter, Driving Beat] When you were little You’d say your day was good I’d tell you something about mine And wait until you could No questions, no solutions No lesson to be learned Just a little room for all the things You didn’t have the words for [Pre-Chorus] Give me your eyes Just for a second You don’t need answers Just let me in [Chorus] Don’t tell me everything’s fine Don’t say the word and close the door You don’t have to make it better You don’t have to know what for Just let me hear your not-okay Let it out, let it arrive I can’t take the hurt away But I can sit with you tonight [Bridge — Beat Drops, Bare Vocal] When I was seventeen I was good at pretending And I still wonder Why my mother let me go on So look at me, precious I can see the light is gone You don’t have to tell me why You don’t have to be strong You’re allowed to fall apart You’re allowed to not be fine You don’t have to hide the darkness You can bring it into mine [Final Chorus — Full Electronic Production] Don’t tell me everything’s fine Don’t close the door and stay alone You don’t have to find the answers You don’t have to carry it alone Give me your not-okay Give me the words you cannot find I can’t take the hurt away But I can stay here by your side Don’t tell me everything’s fine Just let me know Just let me know [Outro — Beat Cuts, Spoken] “How are you, honey?” A pause. “Not good, Mom.” “Okay.” “I’m here.”
