[production human_band_pocket, varied_hit_strength, emotional_repetition, final_chorus_bloom] [mix natural_drum_dynamics, mono_leaning_saturated_mix, narrow_centered_mix, dry_vocal_forward] [Intro] [instrumentation bass_guitar_first, sparse_left_blues_guitar] [guitar widely_spaced_single_note_bends, finger_vibrato, long_space_between_phrases] [Band Intro] [transition dissonant_raked_guitar_stab, full_band_entry] [arrangement bass_and_drums_forward, sparse_left_blues_guitar] [Verse 1] [arrangement bass_and_drums_forward, sparse_left_guitar_answers] [vocal close_restrained_grit, clear_word_forward_phrasing] Your half of the room hasn't moved, Three pill bottles still sit where you left them. I keep saying your name like you're running late, Then catch myself and change the subject. When people ask, I make some joke, Smile long enough for them to let it go. [Chorus] [vocal a_cappella_opening_line] I'm not okay. [arrangement full_band_return, heavier_bass_and_drums, buried_blues_guitar] It didn't end in flames. It bled out day by day. We wore it down till there was nothing left to save. I told everybody we were fine, 'Cause that was easier to say. I'm not okay. [Instrumental] [arrangement short_bass_and_drums_turnaround] [Verse 2] [arrangement restrained_bass_and_drums, vocal_forward, audible_sparse_blues_guitar] [vocal gradual_power_rise] I went to work and smiled through meetings, Said, “I'm good, thanks. How are you?” Answered every question like I practiced, Did everything I always knew to do. Then drove home with both hands shaking, And cried alone on the bedroom floor. [Chorus] [vocal a_cappella_opening_line] I'm not okay. [arrangement full_band_return, heavier_bass_and_drums, buried_blues_guitar] It didn't end in flames. It bled out day by day. We wore it down till there was nothing left to save. I told everybody we were fine, 'Cause that was easier to say. I'm not okay. [Bridge] [arrangement sustained_full_band_pressure, bass_and_drums_forward] [vocal rising_grit, forceful_rough_edged_belts] There wasn't one last terrible night. No single thing I get to hate you for. We signed the papers in my living room, Right where you used to sleep. [Final Chorus] [arrangement full_band_continuation, rising_physical_pressure, final_chorus_bloom] [vocal strongest_grit, emotional_repetition] I'm not okay. No doors slammed shut. Nobody walked away. We stayed until staying didn't mean the same. And I can keep telling everybody... There was nothing we could change, But I'm not okay. I'm not okay. [Outro] [guitar final_blues_chord, natural_amplifier_decay] [end]
