🎵 "It's Okay Not to Be Okay" 🎵 Country Ballad [Verse 1] I’ve been sittin’ on this porch swing, watchin’ time roll by Coffee's cold, heart is heavy, I ain't even sure why Some days the sun don't shine no matter how hard you pray And I’m learnin’ slow, it’s okay not to be okay [Verse 2] Got a picture on the mantle of the life I used to know When love was simple and the hurt was slow Now I’m patchin’ up the pieces that the silence tried to break But the cracks just show, it's okay not to be okay [Chorus] You don’t have to smile when you’re breakin’ down inside Don’t gotta wear strong like a badge all the time There’s beauty in the bruises, in the tears you cry at night Even the broken hearts still beat in the fight So let the rain fall, let the pain stay It’s okay, yeah it’s okay not to be okay [Verse 3] Mama called me last Sunday, said “You don’t sound right” I said, “I’m just tired, but I’ll be fine tonight” She said, “Baby, don’t you lie to me just to keep me brave, You ain't gotta fix it all today” [Chorus] You don’t have to smile when you’re breakin’ down inside Don’t gotta wear strong like a badge all the time There’s beauty in the bruises, in the tears you cry at night Even the broken hearts still beat in the fight So let the rain fall, let the pain stay It’s okay, yeah it’s okay not to be okay [Bridge] Sometimes the road gets rough, and the light gets dim You forget who you are, where you’ve been But every stumble, every scar you’ve made Is proof that you’ve lived, and you’ve found your way [Final Chorus] You don’t have to smile when you’re breakin’ down inside You’re not weak for feelin’ low sometimes There’s beauty in the bruises, in the mess you try to hide Even the hurtin’ hearts still shine in the night So let the rain fall, let the pain stay It’s okay, yeah it’s okay not to be okay [Outro] Yeah, you’re not alone in feelin’ this way It’s okay… not to be okay
