# NOT OKAY TODAY [Intro — close, quiet] I don’t have to fix it I don’t have to fake Some days just feel heavier That doesn’t mean I break [Verse 1] Maybe I don’t wanna talk Maybe I don’t wanna smile Maybe I just need the room To be a mess awhile Everybody’s got advice Everybody knows the way But they don’t have to live inside The hours of my day [Pre-Chorus] I don’t owe the world A better version of me Sometimes getting through it Is enough victory [Chorus] It’s okay To not be okay today Some days hurt Some days just get in the way But they’re my days My time My mess My life Nobody’s coming To save me tonight So I’ll play that song Take that drive Stay up late Do what makes me feel alive I don’t need permission I don’t need a reason why It’s okay To not be okay tonight [Verse 2] I can shut the whole world out Put my phone down for awhile Pick up my guitar again Drive a hundred empty miles Dance alone inside the kitchen Watch the sunrise from the hood Not because it fixes everything Just because it feels damn good [Pre-Chorus] I spent too long waiting For somebody else to see The things that make me happy Were always mine to keep [Chorus] It’s okay To not be okay today Some days hurt Some days just get in the way But they’re my days My time My mess My life Nobody’s coming To save me tonight So I’ll play that song Take that drive Stay up late Do what makes me feel alive I don’t need permission I don’t need a reason why It’s okay To not be okay tonight [Bridge — stripped down] Maybe nobody’s coming Maybe that’s alright Maybe I can stop waiting For someone to change my life I can love what I love I can go where I go I can waste an afternoon Doing nothing at all I can have a bad day Without calling it defeat Some days I just survive Some days That’s enough for me [Final Chorus — full anthem] It’s okay To not be okay today Let the bad day be a bad day You don’t have to run away Because they’re your days Your time Your heart Your life Nobody’s coming To make it all right So play that song Take that drive Make something stupid Do what makes you feel alive You don’t need permission You don’t need to justify It’s okay To not be okay tonight [Outro — close mic] Some days aren’t beautiful They’re still mine And I’m still here That’s enough tonight
