Off Switch (Live)

How we doing tonight?! Before we start... I need to ask you something. Have you ever smiled... while everything inside was falling apart? Yeah... Me too. This one's for anyone fighting battles nobody else can see. Some days I fake the smile so well It almost feels like peace But underneath, I'm breaking down Just begging for release Strength's a mask I wear too well And it cuts into my skin But every time I try to rest There's a weakness pulling me in It's a war inside my head No medals, just regret I beg for quiet, I beg for calm But haven't found it yet There's no off switch, no escape Just the feeling of the ache Trying to be strong enough While everything inside breaks No reset, no rewind Just a battle in my mind And I'm tired of pretending That I'm always fine Always fine! Hold on... Look around you. Every person here tonight... is carrying something. And if you're struggling... You're not alone. They say that time's a healer But this feels like a trap One step forward, two steps back And I'm falling through the cracks I don't need to be rescued Just some space to fall apart Without being called stupid For having a human heart I'm not asking for forever Just a mental break To stop the noise, to drop the weight Of a happiness I'm having to fake There's no off switch, no escape Just the feeling of the ache Trying to be strong enough While everything inside breaks No reset, no rewind Just a battle in my mind And I'm tired of pretending That I'm always fine Always fine! Tonight... I don't want you singing for me. I want you singing for yourselves. When I point this way... you sing: "It's okay not to be okay!" Let's hear it! It's okay not to be okay! Louder! It's okay not to be okay! One more time! It's okay not to be okay! Just tired of pretending But it's okay not to be okay I smile through a silence But the cracks give me away But I'm learning to stop hiding To speak my truth out loud Because healing isn't weakness It's a reason to feel proud There's no off switch, no escape Just the feeling of the ache Trying to be strong enough While everything inside breaks No reset, no rewind Just a battle in my mind And I'm tired of pretending That I'm always fine Always fine! There's no off switch, no escape Just the feeling of the ache Trying to be strong enough While everything inside breaks No reset, no rewind Just a battle in my mind And tonight we're done pretending It's okay not to be okay! If nobody's told you lately... I'm proud of you for making it this far. Keep going. One day at a time. Thank you... Goodnight. It's okay not to be okay...
